Winter Work Wear Essentials

Winter Workwear

Since I’ve been in the office, I’ve realized that I keep pulling for specific items that have been on rotation during the cold weather months. If you’re struggling with looking good and staying warm, this article will help you with what items you can integrate into your winter capsule wardrobe to accomplish just that!

These items are basics so, likely, you may already have these pieces in your wardrobe. I also love to layer during the winter. This styling technique of course serves two purposes. Keeping you warm all while adding additional interest to a basic outfit.

WINTER TOPS

Next, let’s move to tops. I’ve been LOVING clean cut turtlenecks. There’s so much that you can do with them. You can wear them on their own, wear them underneath botton ups, and you can of course wear them underneath blazers. And that’s just a few examples.

WINTER BOTTOMS

As for botthms, I really like to be comfortable. Honestly, in general I’m all for comfort. So I want to share with you the most comfortable line of pants at Express, which I’ve included below. I also love to wear culottes with boots or culottes with tights and a heel. Culottes are perfect because they give you space to feel comfortable with your layered bottoms and room to move freely when you pair the bottoms with boots. And finally denim which are really the best to wear during cold months to help stay warm. I will say that since most of my denim are really fitted I like to wear them on days when I don’t have on additional layers so I don’t feel extremely uncomfortable.

WINTER HATS

My preference for winter hats is that whatever hat that I’m wearing on a consistent basis, it MUST HAVE a satin interior lining.

WINTER COATS

Finally to top the look off, are our beloved winter coats. What I’d recommend for coats are neutral tones to incoproate into your winter capsule wardrobe. The reason why I love investing in a nice neutral coat is because you can get so much wear out of it. You can of course mix a neutral coat with a colorful outfit or with a neutral tone outfit. So this piece goes a long way and can be paired across the board.

UNDERGARMENTS

I’m sure so many of you wore long johns growing up! Well, integrating adult like “long john” pieces are so so important to staying warm without looking ridiculous! Each day I typically wear 1 additional layer under my cloths, or if it’s super cold, I incorporate 2 layers. And MAN, let me tell you, you may even break a good sweat. My staple undergarments include: fluffy socks, an insulated top and insulated leggings.

I hope this article is helpful for you to build a sustainable winter workwear wardrobe full of essential quality pieces that will last, help you stay warm, AND LOOK GOOD all while killing the game at work.
