12 Work Outfits That Manage to Mix Business and Fashion

March and April are tricky months on the fashion front, especially when it comes to workwear. With varying temps and chilly showers, it can be difficult to plan ahead and build your office-appropriate wardrobe. Not to mention all the new trends you’re dying to work into your looks. The secret to office dressing during the in-between season is lightweight layers. Invest in linen suits and silk shirts, cropped cardigans and structured skirts. You can even still rock wool-blend separates as long as they’re teamed with breezier pieces. Plus, make sure you pick up a springy jacket to suit the season. To save you some time, we’ve curated 12 stylish office outfits that will withstand the crazy weather fluctuations between winter and mid-spring. Whether you work in a creative space or a strictly conservative environment, these fashion-forward looks will make you look forward to heading to the office.
