Already adopted by Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid, the officewear trend consists of wearing pieces dedicated to the "office" in a very chic way.
Suits, pencil skirts, and work shirts are particularly fashionable right now. The officewear trend invites us to wear them outside of work for a chic and trendy look. Whether you have a position of responsibility or prefer more formal outfits, the officewear trend is made for you!
At Gualap, we're fans of this trend, so we're giving you four tips for adapting your office look to everyday life.
#1 Prefer sets
When dressing for a professional setting, the cuts of our clothes must be impeccable. Adopting this officewear trend is no different, so choose attractive materials and timeless cuts.
Opt for a blazer-pants or blazer-skirt combo in the same fabric for the perfect look. Your silhouette will appear uniform and instantly more chic. Especially since blazer-pants sets are right on trend right now. At Gualap, we offer suits in a wide range of colors and fabrics to suit every occasion and please every time.

#2 Go monochrome
Whether gray, navy, or beige, for a top officewear look , go for monochrome. Creating a look in a single color both elongates the silhouette and creates a sense of sophistication. Another advantage is that choosing a single color for your outfit will allow you to draw attention to your accessories and highlight your jewelry, which will immediately appear more visible.
This fall-winter, gray is making a strong comeback, so it's the perfect opportunity to create a work outfit in a pretty shade of gray. Depending on your color profile, choose the timeless mouse gray or the softer pearl gray. Among the season's trending colors, pink and red will be everywhere and will add a touch of pep to your office outfits.

#3 Think about shoes
For a chic and sophisticated look, forget about sneakers and other overly casual sneakers. If you want to stay comfortable, opt instead for fairly flexible loafers or a pair of ankle boots. This will give you a casual but not too casual look, perfect for a work outfit. If you prefer to play the sophistication card, choose pumps instead to create a hyper-feminine, even femme fatale, silhouette .
If you're petite and want to wear tailored pants, opt for heels. Go for chunky-heeled ankle boots if you're not used to heels, otherwise, have fun with a pair of classic pumps. If you prefer to play schoolgirl, why not opt for a loafers and exposed socks look?

#4 Play the layering
Another way to embrace the officewear trend is to wear less "strict" pieces but layer them to create an office look. This way, you'll combine comfort and style, allowing you to let your imagination run wild.
Layering pieces include a white shirt, blazer, lightweight sweater, trench coat, carrot pants, flowing pants, and even a skirt. Depending on the combination you choose, you can create very dressy or rather casual looks.
For example, you could pair a pleated mini skirt with a lightweight sweater over a white shirt, topped with a plaid trench coat. If you're more of a pants person, pair it with a blazer over an open shirt that reveals a white t-shirt. By opting for layering, you can create endless officewear looks while letting your imagination run wild.
