30 Outfits I Plan On Wearing to Work In 2021
I'm not a resolutions person, but one of my aims for the New Year is to put a little bit more effort into what I wear to work. In winter I find I can easily fall back on the same outfits, and while it can be useful to have a uniform, I'm determined to try a few new things. I set on average eight alarms a morning, so inevitably end up snoozing through a symphony of sirens (yes, I press snooze all eight alarms), leaving me barely enough time to grab a coffee and put on some concealer, let alone experiment with interesting new styling ideas.
I am told by people that are morning people, however, that the key is to plan your outfits in advance. But before I can plan, I have looked through thousands of street style pictures to find some ideas that I can try in the New Year. The 30 looks below are relatively simple and revolve around workwear classic, including a trouser suit, knee-high boots and blue Oxford shirt, but with some clever layering and interesting accessories, these outfits will wow in any fashion office.
