The Under-$60 Pieces Successful Women Are Wearing to Work This Fall

Do you feel that? There's a certain excitement in the air this time of year. Ah yes, it's fall, the perfect time to pivot our wardrobe choices, experiment with a new trend (or two), and start planning all the outfits we'll be wearing for the season ahead. Just like we did with back-to-school shopping back in the day, we're sitting down to plan our back-to-work outfits, and TBH, they've never looked so good.

If you're looking for some fall work outfit inspiration, you've come to the right place. Last week, we brought together a group of successful women who are nailing it in their respective fields for an evening of networking and mingling at Otium in DTLA—and we can't stop thinking about their stylish outfits. Dressed in the new fall pieces from our Who What Wear collection, they're each wearing the affordable clothes for work that your transitional wardrobe was looking for.

From sleek faux-leather dresses to the prettiest leopard-print pieces, get inspired by the stylish yet professional outfits they wore to our Babes Who Business event and shop their looks so you can head back into the office with a refreshed wardrobe this fall too.

A leader in the beauty world, Sona Gasparian combined two standout fall trends—faux leather and animal print—in a chic and professional way. If you're looking for ways to stay on-trend while heading to work, this outfit is it.

As we've pointed out before, faux leather is one of those trends that only looks expensive. Coming in at under $50 and offered in two luxe color options, this leather dress is a winner.

When done right, print mixing can make your outfit feel totally unique and infuse personality into your work ensembles. We love the combination of dark florals and bold check prints here—both prints have a dark base to them, so the outfit still feels put-together.

There are few other prints that garner a flurry of compliments and "where did you get that?" inquiries than leopard print. For fall, we've reinvented it in a micro print on our ruffled-trimmed midi dress. Style it alongside strappy black sandals for an outfit that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Dark florals are another fall trend we spotted all over the F/W 19 runways, and we happen to think they work well for the office, too.

Eighties silhouettes like puffy sleeves and paper bag pants are undeniably having a moment right now—we love them combined here.

Try wearing a statement jacket over an all-black base to really make the piece pop.

Calling it: Wide-leg trousers are about to take over your closet for fall. In our bold check print, they were basically made for work.

If you're lucky enough to work in an environment where jeans are allowed, then may we suggest our leopard-print wrap top as the perfect complement to your denim?
