Off to the fashion leadership seminar – here are the most important career boosters of the fall/winter season. Fashionable, serious, and warm: STYLEBOOK shows 9 new trends that are suitable for the office and weatherproof at the same time.
Fall has arrived, and you’re at a loss for what to wear to the office from your current wardrobe? Don’t worry – we have nine stylish fall office looks to inspire you.
Overview
Midi dress and leather jacket
An elegant midi dress is an excellent choice for the office in the fall. Opt for an autumnal color such as bordeaux, olive green, or dark blue, and choose a model that is slightly flowing and falls just below the knee. Pair it with a chic leather jacket to add a casual touch and create an exciting contrast to the feminine dress. Choose from elegant ankle boots or pumps for your shoes, tailoring the look to be more casual or business-like as desired. A waist belt accentuates your figure and lends a structured silhouette to your ensemble. Subtle jewelry, such as small earrings or a simple bracelet, round off the ensemble in style without overloading it.
Turtleneck keeps you warm
The turtleneck is an indispensable staple of the current season. Not only is it chic, but it also keeps your neck nice and warm. This season, we’re wearing the classic from the 60s again in style under A-line shift dresses with A-line skirts or cigarette pants. With blazers, these are the warm alternatives for classic blouses on cold days. Remember! For the office, choose subtle colors like navy blue, black, white, or grey.
Blazer meets pleated skirt
A pleated skirt combined with a structured blazer offers the perfect balance between feminine elegance and professional appearance. Opt for a pleated skirt in muted autumn hues like dark grey or brown for a flowing look, complemented by a blazer that adds essential shape and structure. The combination looks both stylish and relaxed, ideal for a demanding work environment. Choose pumps or elegant ankle boots to complete the look and ensure comfort at the same time. A long necklace or a subtle brooch on the blazer adds elegant accents that give the outfit a personal touch without being too overpowering.
Complete knitted look
Head-to-toe knitwear will be at the height of fashion in the fall of 2024. Here’s how to style this trend for the office. Go for somber colors like grey or beige. Plus, simple cuts are another styling key for the office. Wear them with elegant accessories such as pointed pumps and a leather shopper as a counterpoint to the casual material.
Graphic suit
How can the classic suit become a fashionable work colleague? If it comes with graphic patterns such as Vichy checks – the geometric shapes also ensure a tidy look. Again, opt for subtle colors. The absolute “it” combination this fall is once again black and white. Shades of brown, like the one in the picture, are also bang on trend.
Extra trend kick with a boss factor: dress up flat, men’s styled lace-up shoes. If patterns don’t appeal to you, gemstone tones such as emerald and ruby red are extremely trendy this season!
Culottes and cashmere sweaters look great in the office this fall
Culottes made of heavy fabric are the perfect blend of comfort and style and are ideal for combining with a luxurious cashmere sweater. The autumnal tones of the culottes, such as camel or dark brown, harmonize wonderfully with the soft texture of the cashmere sweater, which radiates both warmth and elegance. The wide silhouette of the culottes looks modern yet relaxed, while the cashmere sweater adds a touch of luxury to the outfit. Opt for loafers or ankle boots to complete the look and stay comfortable in the office throughout the fall day. A simple leather belt can accentuate the waist and bring the outfit together harmoniously. Statement earrings add an extra stylish touch to the ensemble without overloading the overall look.
Calf-length wrap skirts
Two trends in one piece: calf-length skirts are now available as wraps. In staid fabrics like tweed, these well-behaved pieces are a safe investment for any professional group – the length is hip among creatives and an appropriate trend factor in the bank. Wear tight-fitting pieces like turtlenecks or fitted blouses and feminine shoes like pumps or boots. After all, you want to look serious and not old-fashioned.
Pleated trousers
Wide and casual, as if borrowed from menswear, pleated trousers are now a must-have. These pants are not only on trend; they also add strength. Embrace a boyish look from head to toe with an oversized blazer and lace-up shoes, then soften the ensemble with feminine olive and beige tones.
