If your dress code allows for denim, it doesn't get much easier than jeans and a classic white shirt. However, to elevate the outfit, swapping for a denim skirt is just as effortless but will earn many more style points.

When we need to look polished in a pinch, we often revert to this timeless combination of a boxy blazer, languid trousers, and leather accessories.

Sometimes, all you need are well-proportioned basics and strong accessories. A crisp and slightly boxy-fit white tee tucked into black trousers is a simple combo that will never fail you.

The easiest outfits to put together are ones that center a single standout piece. In this case, it's a pleated midi skirt, which is made office-ready with flat boots and a simple sweater.

Midi dresses are the epitome of throw-on-and-go pieces. Opt for one in a vibrant color, and no one will ever suspect you spent mere seconds getting dressed.

For a look that's equal parts polished, relaxed, classic, and trendy, marry a boxy blazer with slouchy jeans and flats.
