What To Wear To Work

Booked, busy and need some cute work outfits? This blog is for you. At Princess Polly, we want you to easily find cute looks for all of your moments, and your 9-to-5 is no exception.

Blending your personal style with professionalism can feel daunting, but it’s easier than you might think - you don’t need to leave your entire personality at the office door!

Whether it’s your first day on the job or just another Monday, feeling cute and confident when you leave for work is a game changer.

Keep reading to find out how to make your workwear looks elevated, effortless and authentically you.

First Day of Work Outfits

Starting a new job? Love that for you! This transitional time can be overwhelming, so let’s make sure your outfit is one less thing to stress about.

On your first day, it’s a good idea to keep it classic while you get a feel for the office vibe. It might take a few weeks to gauge the dress code, and that’s totally normal! A neutral, timeless look that’s easy to throw together in a rush is always a win.

You can’t go wrong with tailored pants, a blazer and a crisp white shirt - this combo is elevated, effortless, and will quickly become part of your everyday workwear wardrobe.

Break it up with an eye-catching belt and stick to your go-to accessories. If you step too far out of your style comfort zone, you’ll be stressing about your outfit all day.

There’s nothing wrong with dressing like you, remember, authenticity is your superpower!

Professional Dress Code

Corporate girlies, this one is for you! If your office leans formal, having more polished looks in your rotation is key.

Think classic button-ups, wide leg tailored pants, knits and maxi skirts. A midi dress in a neutral tone or a cute matching set can also be great options too.

Sticking to versatile colors and styles is key to being able to mix and match outfits - this will make your life 10x easier!

Elevate your look with timeless accessories, like handbags, minimal jewelry, and a sleek pair of kitten heels or loafers.

Dressing professionally doesn’t mean dressing boring, so play with textures, layering, and subtle pops of color to make your personality shine through.

Casual Work Outfits

If the vibe at your workplace is relaxed, chill and not-so strict, a casual work outfit is the way to go.

The key is finding that perfect balance between comfortable and cute (capris have officially entered the chat). These trending pants are effortlessly cool, both in and outside of work hours. If you want to give ‘model-off-duty’, add these to your workwear wardrobe ASAP. Style them with a button-up and sandals for an under-60-seconds OOTD.

If you have a meeting at 5 and a dinner reservation at 6, an elevated mini dress is a no-brainer. And of course, we can’t not mention a cute top with denim - always a go-to look.

WFH Outfits

One word: comfort. The perfect work from home outfit should be relaxed, easy, but still thoughtful. You’ll be surprised how much a cute and comfortable work outfit can change your mood, so having a few WFH looks that make you feel put-together will make a big difference.

A loose-fitting matching set is our go-to choice for these moments. These effortless and comfy styles will take you from your early morning meetings to your lunchtime errands. Breathable tops and oversized tees come in close second!

Shoes For Work

Why is choosing the right shoe sometimes the hardest part?! Despite often being the last thing you think about, a shoe can either entirely elevate or tone down a look. Use this to your advantage!

For semi-formal workplaces, a pointed toe heel will be the finishing touch to 99% of your business casual ‘fits. Loafers and flats are both good options too - as long as your shoes can be styled with multiple outfits, you’re on the right track.

Accessories For Work

Accessorizing is a subtle, yet impactful way to add more personality to your look.

Small details go a long way, and if there’s a staple earring or necklace you love, wear it! We also recommend keeping a claw clip with you, even on your hair-down days. When it hits 3pm and you want your hair out of your face, you’ll be thankful you have one handy.

Our favorite kind of accessory though is the one you can’t go without - a cute bag. The perfect work bag does exist and it’s even cuter than you imagined. Something timeless that fits all of your work essentials is needed here - find our current fave below!

So it’s official, looking cute at work is easy. We promise, once you find your everyday staples that can be mixed and matched, you’ll be styling iconic workwear looks on the regular.
