I thought it would be a great time to provide you guys with some great outfits for work. I’ve taken a ton of pictures in my almost 4 years as a fashion blogger. So, I’ve put together some of my looks to provide you guys with updated products to recreate these outfits for work.
Sounds fun huh? Let’s get into these look!
Cute & Comfy in Slacks
First, let’s get into this classic professional look. As you may know, slacks are a must when you have a professional career. Most outfits for work can’t be completed without a pair of slacks. So, it is very important to have several pairs & styles. Here are some plus size slacks that I have either tried or are from brands I absolutely trust.
The Simple & Professional Dress
A simple & conservative dress is my go-to outfit for work. It’s minimal, requires very little styling, and it’s very easy to get ready. I would advise having between 5-10 simple dresses in your wardrobe you can quickly grab for work.
Jean Day
Yes, sometimes I wear ripped jeans to work. But let’s not get carried away with the frayed holes. Some jeans are pushing it when it comes to professionalism. Here are some great work-appropriate jeans you can add to your wardrobe.
The Fashionable Pantsuit
Honey, pantsuits are not just for the generation of Hillary Clinton. I’ll be 30 next month, and a pantsuit makes me feel so distinguished and professional. Here are some of my favs.
A Simple Tie Waist Dress
I love a good tie waist dress. It really helps me not look like a paper bag in dresses since I have a high waist and large chest. The tie waist dresses below would be perfect for the office.
The “Work Event” Attire
Now I know what you’re thinking. “Ashley, you mean to tell me you would really wear this to work?” To an office, no. But I would definitely wear this to a work event. If your job takes you out offsite to show appreciation, then this cute outfit is perfect! Not showing too much skin, but definitely showing personality.
The Printed Dress
Honestly, you can never have too many dresses when you are looking for great outfits for work. Here are some of the cutest plus size printed dresses that would go so well with your office attire.
The Printed Top & Skirt Combo
I really like this combination for work. And if you have tons of printed tops in addition to many different colored pencil skirts, you could really go far with this look. I chose to wear a belt with this top to help cinch my waist. Loft has a great amount of printed tops that are perfect for work.
The Statement Dress
Some people think animal print is not work-appropriate attire. Honestly, there is a bit of a fine line. As long as this isn’t your first 3 months in the office and you are appropriately covered, a good statement dress will bring so much personality to your office wardrobe. Below are some of the cutest statement dresses you can wear to the office!
The Printed Skirt
This is pretty much the same style of the printed top & skirt, just in reverse. With a style such as this, it wouldn’t take a large amount of clothes to build a gorgeous wardrobe of outfits for work.
The “Casual Friday” Leopard Top
I have received so many complements of this leopard top from Target. I have never been afraid to wear animal print to work. Especially on casual days such as Friday. It’s all in how you wear it! Check out some of these leopard tops for your next casual Friday.
The Pleated Skirt
I used to be so afraid to wear pleated skirts. My thought was that it would make me look horribly bulky. That was not the case at all. Now I am in love with them! If you have not tried out a pleated skirt, check through the ones below & let me know what you think.
The “Casual Friday” Color Play
Lately, I have been embracing dressing in color. I created this outfit when I was doing one of my experiments, and this too can be an excellent outfit for casual Friday or your next work event!
The Cute & Flirty Dress
Of course, we are not trying to flirt with people in the office. But when you feel cute at work, then you’re confident at work. That includes being confident in your work. So, here are som cute & flirty dresses that will have you feeling like a gorgeous superwoman.
A Statement Blazer
You can create a bomb outfit with one statement piece – a great printed blazer. If I wear a blazer that’s busy, I usually pair it with a solid white or black dress or top and pants. It allows the blazer to pop even more!
The Flowy Dress
Next thing on the list are flowy dresses. There’s nothing more comfortable than a flowy dress that you didn’t have to style to heavy. They’re a great way of creating an effortless look in half the time.
A Skirt & Blazer Combo
Finally, to our last look of this post. Adding a blazer to your outfit can take it from casual to professional in seconds. I advise having at least 3-5 different blazers in your wardrobe. It will make getting dressed for work much easier.
