I'm Back in the Office—These 16 Items Are Taking Me From Work to Play
Sponsor Content Created With PAIGE

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I got rid of my work wardrobe only a few weeks into the pandemic. My trousers and blouses were swiftly swapped with tie-dye sweat sets and endless amounts of athleisure. So it will come as no surprise that I completely panicked when it was time to return to the office. I had to start from scratch. I knew I wanted to prioritize items that could be dressed up for the office and dressed down for happy hour—think blazers over tees, blouses paired with dark denim, and on-trend shoes equally appropriate for both places. If you’re in the same boat as me, have no fear. PAIGE has every item you need to kick-start this wardrobe refresh. Keep scrolling for the most stylish pieces (including the sustainable eyewear I'm currently obsessing over) that will take you from work to play.
