While we’re more than content to spend most of winter wrapped up in cozy knits, that doesn’t always work at the office. Let’s face it: our nine-to-fives don’t really allow us to indulge in our need for hygge this time of year. We’re still expected to dress professionally — even if it’s below zero out.
But you don’t have to freeze this season just to get HR’s approval. It’s all about learning to layer the work-appropriate way. A comfy sweater can be sported as long as you team it with a suit. And remember, tights are the working woman’s BFFs in winter.
Whether you work in a creative space or an über conservative office, we’ve got you covered. Here are work outfit ideas that’ll keep you warm while still looking like a boss.
