The Ultimate Workwear Fashion Guide

sarahsophiedunn

In the age of going back to work--in office work that is--it's time to revamp our workwear fashion guide. Here's a comprehensive guide to what to buy/wear in office in 2025. It seems the term business casual needs a little revamp as well. What does it mean? Is it still relevant?


This is my modern take on what you need in your closet for business casual fashion or simply what to wear to work in 2025.


What you need to have in your closet - Workwear Fashion Guide


Even if your office isn't traditionally business casual or business professional--you still need a blazer. You can dress it up or down and you can wear it year round. My recommendation would be to have a black blazer and another one of these blazers below-- green, plaid, grey or tan. Shop my picks here starting at $99.

Again, even if you don't need to wear suits, you can still style pants in fun ways. Also they can be more comfortable and elevated than jeans. Getting yourself a couple good pair of dress pants is going to be a big yes for your workwear wardrobe. Here are my picks from Favorite Daughter, Aritzia, Everlane, J. Crew, Donni and Reformation.

I will never stop wearing denim to work. You can dress up denim so much especially black, white and dark wash jeans. Here are some of my favorite brands from Pistola to Citizens of Humanity. Check out all my picks here.

The workwear edit must include button downs. You don't have to stick with traditional poplin or cotton ones either, some of these are knit and jersey for a different look. Check out these picks from Mango, Banana Republic, Everlane and so on here.

Skirts

Having simple skirts can be a great way to switch things up. Silk and pleated skirts are simple and easy to style. Throw on an oversized sweater and belt for a cozy look or a cardigan for a more sophisticated fitted style. Here are some ideas.
