The 2019 Work Outfits All of Your Colleagues Will Ask About

You may have a go-to 9-to-5 uniform already on lock, but with the start of the New Year, there’s no better time to consider switching it up for a fresh start. To help you uncover a new ensemble—one that all of your colleagues will ask about—we’re turning to some of our favorite fashion girls for inspiration.
As this style set is showcasing, it’s clear that 2019 is all about opting for reimagined takes on classic separates (think oversize blazers and knee-length silk skirts) that can be styled in forward ways for more creative office settings. Keep scrolling to check out five flawless office ’fits that just get the job done.
While this outfit is seemingly simple, featuring just two pieces (minus the shoes), the ensemble is incredibly eye-catching in nature with the unique blouse and full leather skirt.
You'll make an instant statement in a pink turtleneck combined with contrasting purple pants, a sleek pair of sandals or mules, and a structured topcoat.
If you pretty much live in a blazer and a skirt, try an oversize jacket in a luscious blue hue paired with a black silk skirt and ankle boots.
A layered look will always feel high-concept—like this ensemble featuring a turtleneck, blouse, and blazer all belted together.
If you can wear jeans to work, try a trouser-like style with mock-croc boots, a turtleneck, and a sharp long coat.
