When you wake up and it’s freezing cold, it can be a bit of a task to decide what to wear to work. Although I may not have a dress code for what I do, a lot of my dearest friends face the same struggle; what do I wear into the office today? I’ve come up with a stylish office outfit that I hope you’re going to love; No more confusion about what to wear to work in the winter!

When you think of work you don’t necessarily think of trends but you’ll be surprised about how easily you can work some of your favourite winter fashion trends into your look. Plaid, houndstooth and tartan are all winter classics and all look incredibly chic. Ditch the black skinny jeans or plain black trousers and instead opt for a patterned pair. I picked up these dark blue tartan trousers from the Sandro sale. I love that the pattern is subtle.

I paired this with a grey turtleneck from Sandro as well (another great sale purchase!). This turtleneck is a total classic piece but what makes the whole look more interesting is the neck detailing. I love classics with a twist! I would also pair these trousers with a plain white ribbed turtleneck and a blazer. Finally, I added in a pair of white boots; a simple yet effective way to make your outfit stand out!

In terms of accessories, I’m wearing vintage Givenchy earrings that I found in a store in Amsterdam and my favourite Louis Vuitton bag. I get a lot of questions about this bag and how much it can fit. Let’s just say I can pretty much fit my life in it! I also added in my new Chanel sunglasses. I’m obsessed with the retro vibes!

If you live in a warmer country but want to recreate this look, I would still opt for patterned pants like these and instead pair it with a white t-shirt or with a white blouse; a white shirt with oversized sleeves would look fabulous! If your office is a bit more casual you can even throw in a pair of white trainers!

Would you wear this to the office?
