Women's office attire – style and comfort for everyday life
Office dressing doesn't mean strict dress codes or a black and white mold. A well-designed work outfit gives confidence, feels comfortable and is suitable for different situations during the workday – from meetings to lunch and evening events. In many work communities, strict dress codes have given way to business casual or smart casual - a neat, well-groomed and appropriate ensemble, where comfort goes hand in hand with style.
Original Story's clothes are designed for these situations: simple, high-quality and timeless clothes that feel good and look cool.
Office dress etiquette – what does it really mean?
Dress codes have become more relaxed in many industries, but situational awareness is still the most important dress code. Dressing communicates attitude, care and respect for others – whether it’s a client meeting or a weekly team meeting. Both smart casual and business casual styles are great for office dressing, combining a neat look with everyday comfort in a thoughtful way.
Smart casual is relaxed but thoughtful dressing – for example, a satin shirt, neat trousers and a neat sweater .
Business casual, on the other hand, is a bit more formal: for example, a softly flowing skirt, a shirt, and if necessary, a blazer or sweater.
The top creates the first impression
In the office, the top is often the most visible part of your outfit – especially during video meetings. Choose timeless, well-fitting styles that combine breathability and support. Satin and soft knits are great choices, as they are clean and comfortable to wear.
The bottom adds posture and room for movement to the outfit.
Loose pants or a softly flowing skirt paired with a subdued top create an outfit that works both in the office and in a café. Linen and viscose blends breathe well even on longer days.
Knitwear finishes and layers
Office air conditioning, seasons and different situations require layering. A quality sweater or thin cardigan is easy to add to an outfit and both warms and finishes the outfit stylishly. Cashmere and linen blends are both breathable and luxurious choices.
Color scheme: neutral, combinable and thoughtful
Light tones, such as cream, sand and greige, bring freshness and calm to an outfit. Black and dark brown, on the other hand, bring poise and contrast. A well-constructed wardrobe contains tones that can be combined with each other effortlessly.
