Keep scrolling, as we've rounded up 13 casual work outfits that will ensure you look and feel your best on the job. Plus, we've shopped out each look just in case your work wardrobe needs a little refresh.
1. White Shirt + Denim Skirt
Style Notes: It doesn't get much easier than jeans and a classic white shirt, but with denim midi skirts on the rise this season, the swap is just as effortless to put together but will earn many more style points.
Shop the Look:
You can't beat a crisp white shirt.
Trust us, we've found the best denim maxi skirt.
2. Blazer + Wide-Leg Trousers
Style Notes: When we need to look polished in a pinch, we fall back on a version of this timeless combination of a boxy blazer, wide-leg trousers and leather accessories.
Shop the Look:
Timeless.
These are such a good fit.
3. Tweed Jacket + Jeans
Style Notes: A Chanel-inspired wool jacket takes roomy denim from casual to polished in seconds.
Shop the Look:
It's giving French girl chic.
Agolde has the best denim around.
4. Striped Shirt + Mini Skirt
Style Notes: Miu Miu was on to something when it paired loafers with mini skirts and button-downs. Try a version of the work-friendly runway look the next time you head into the office.
Shop the Look:
You'll wear this on heavy rotation.
Just add knee-high boots when temperatures drop.
5. White T-Shirt + Black Trousers
Style Notes: Sometimes, all you need are well-proportioned basics and strong accessories. A crisp and slightly boxy-fit white T-shirt tucked into black trousers is a simple combo that will never fail.
Shop the Look:
The best white T-shirt on the high street. Fact.
Classic.
6. Jumper + Pleated Midi Skirt
Style Notes: The easiest outfits to put together are ones that center around 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.
Shop the Look:
M&S is superior when it comes to cashmere offerings.
So. Damn. Chic.
7. Long-Sleeved Midi Dress + Loafers
Style Notes: Midi dresses are the epitome of throw-on-and-go pieces. Opt for one in a vibrant colour and no one will ever suspect you spent mere seconds getting dressed.
Shop the Look:
Love the flared sleeves on this one.
Yep, Prada loafers are still sticking around.
8. Silk Shirt + High-Waisted Trousers
Style Notes: Trousers and a silky shirt should be key staples in any work wardrobe. Wear your shirt open as a light layer over a tank top to give it a whole new feel.
Shop the Look:
Well done, Reformation.
We're big fans of the sporty stripe.
9. White Shirt + Camel Trousers
Style Notes: Kendall Jenner really did something when she stepped out in a similar outfit from The Row. Fashion people have been re-creating the easy, polished ensemble ever since.
Shop the Look:
We also want the matching shorts.
Puddle pants are sticking around.
10. Waistcoat + Matching Trousers
Style Notes: Look to matching sets whenever you've ran out of outfit ideas. Waistcoats and coordinating trousers is a look to wear all year round.
Shop the Look:
Layer with a blazer.
You can also style these with a Breton top.
11. Blazer + Jeans
Style Notes: For a look that's equal parts polished, relaxed, classic, and trendy, marry a boxy blazer with slouchy jeans and flats.

Totême always has the best blazers.
They're a bestseller for good reason.
Pumps are sticking around for autumn.
12. Slip Dress + Jumper
Style Notes: J.Crew's head designer, Olympia Gayot, has all the easy office outfits you could ever need. We're jotting down this slip dress with double knit idea.

So cosy.
You'll also be able to wear this for upcoming weddings.

Such a good shape.
