If you’ve been following us for a while now, you already know how keen we are on the idea of a capsule wardrobe. The concept is quite simple. It’s a closet full of pieces that can be mixed and matched for infinite combinations. In other words, it’s the permanent fix to your “I have nothing to wear” conundrum.
For many of us, this fall has us returning to our offices. Leaving the house to work again has reminded us that in the past two years, we’ve forgotten exactly how one gets dressed for the office. Trousers? Blouses? They’ve all taken a few-year hiatus. But, getting back into the workwear groove is a challenge we welcome with open arms.
Like the rest of our wardrobe, workwear is also best in the fall. There’s no need to wear itchy tops and non-stretch bottoms that’ll have you feeling miserable all day (it’s 2022—workwear has evolved from that!). Our fall workwear capsule wardrobe proves that your fall work wardrobe can be cute, comfy, and autumn-chic.
For a twist on the classic trouser, choose a pair that’s cropped and flared. It will add a retro touch that’s absent from a more relaxed pair. To finish the look, opt for these chic, versatile slingbacks from FRANKiE4. Use code EVERYGIRL40 to save $40 today!

We always love a classic white button-up, but this one’s contrast trim gives it a plazacore oomph that makes it a bit more exciting. Roll with the chicness of the blouse by adding a pair of pearl hoops and classic loafers for an easy office uniform.

Having a dress or two in your workwear arsenal is essential, and this one fits the bill perfectly. The built-in blouse and tweed texture look professional but not stuffy. If your office is more formal, just add tights!

During a season when temperatures shift from morning to afternoon, it’s nice to have an outfit with options. Tweed and autumn workwear go together like peanut butter and jelly. This elevated tweed jacket is sure to zhuzh up any outfit. We added a basic, fitted tank—a closet essential for layering—and some classic black trousers.

If you choose your knitwear right, it can absolutely be office-appropriate, and this chore sweater is here to prove it! Wear it buttoned up as a shirt or layered over another top on chilly days. Either way, it’ll become your favorite office piece for brisk weather.
