The idea of trendy work outfits may seem like a paradox, especially if you have a strict office dress code, but here’s how you can bring on-trend pieces to your work outfits for every day of the week!
How To Wear Trendy Work Outfits To The Office Every Day
Unless you work in fashion or other creative industries, you probably don’t have many trendy work outfits in your wardrobe. But as a working girl myself, I think it’s a success whenever I strike that balance between trends and what’s acceptable to wear at the office. Trust me, it’s an art for us working girls! Which is why I thought it would be an amazing idea to share all the different ways you can turn some of the hottest trends right now into polished, professional looks. I’ve got one for every day of the week (and maybe even weekends!) so you won’t run out of inspiration.
1. Midi Skirts
You’d be surprised by how many trends are actually office-appropriate! Take a break from your classic pencil skirts and try a midi skirt with your silk blouses and black pumps—it’s the perfect recipe for trendy work outfits.
2. Jumpsuits
Jumpsuits are usually a lot more casual or far too dressy for daytime. The solution? Incorporate classic office elements—neutral colors like black, beige, and navy, or prints like pinstripes. Layering a jumpsuit over a blouse makes it a conservative dress code-friendly as well!
3. Sweater Dresses
Most sweater dresses are either oversized or not polished enough to be considered workwear. But all you need to do for trendy work outfits is find sweater dresses that are more structured or boxy, and stick to solid colors. Maybe skip the cable knit this time!
4. Mixed Prints
When it comes to workwear, we usually think boring or basics. But trendy work outfits are just what you need to challenge that stereotype! Be adventurous with your choice of colors and prints, even if you’re wearing a classic pencil skirt and a cotton tee.
5. Blush Pink
Color is another way to achieve trendy work outfits. When you’re shopping for office looks, keep your eye out for blouses, tops, and bottoms in trendy and non-neutral colors like pink! We need more pink in our work wardrobes, if you ask me.
6. Green
Speaking of on-trend colors, green pieces can also finish off your trendy work outfits. After all, it’s this year’s Pantone color. I’m already rocking green at work, and I love the vibrant yet relaxing shades!
7. Ruffles
With something as eye-catching as ruffles, you don’t need to think too much about your other pieces. Your go-to pair of cigarette pants, black loafers, and a dependable black purse make a ruffled top look polished and chic.

My rule of thumb for trendy work outfits is: balance fashion-forward pieces with workwear staples. If you’re wearing prints, get them in classic silhouettes. If you’re experimenting with cuts and embellishments like ruffles, keep the rest of your colors basic. Putting together trendy work outfits will be a breeze as long as you keep this in mind!
