As a woman, getting dressed for the office has never felt particularly easy, but there’s something about navigating workwear in a post-COVID era that feels inexplicably worse. With many of us working from offices at least a couple of days a week, the question of what to wear to work feels more confusing than ever.
In a day and age where office dress codes’ lines are a little more blurred, finding an outfit that isn’t too dressy but still remains work-appropriate can feel incredibly overwhelming. As a stylist, I work with clients who want to look more put together for work, but not in the pantsuit-and-heels way they used to. The solution I always suggest? A three-part outfit consisting of an elevated tee, an easy denim alternative, and a really (really) great jacket. While blazers have had a white-knuckled grip on workwear for what feels like forever, adding another style of work-appropriate jacket to your wardrobe can be game changing.
Read on for 30 HR-approved jackets beyond your standard blazer. Fair warning, though: If you snag one, you might have to field “Where’d you get that?” questions at next month’s all-staff.
