As someone who was more than happy to put my days as a student behind me in favor of the working world, I will admit that the one thing I do miss is the thrill of back-to-school shopping. Whether it was new shoes, a backpack, shirts, pants—even an eraser!—something about starting the season off with fresh items just made you feel good.

So, what’s the adult equivalent? Back-to-work shopping, of course. Sure, you might not be coming off a three-month summer break, and there are no first-day-of-school jitters to go along with it, but entering fall equipped with an A+ work wardrobe can still do wonders for your morale and performance. As such, today we’re bringing you nine back-to-work outfits that are as affordable as they are stylish. Thanks to our very own Who What Wear collection at Target, every item you’re about to see below (modeled on some of our favorite influencers) is not just under $100, but under $50. Simply continue to see and shop the looks!

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
