I Searched Instagram for the Chicest Work Outfits—These Are the Best Ones

It’s nearly the end of January, and if you’re already bored of all your work clothes, then you’ve come to the right place, dear friends. Dressing for the office can be a chore—particularly when the mornings are dark, it's freezing out, and you’re deliriously tired (one too many episodes of Tidying Up last night, eh?). There are only so many times you can wear the same sweater-and-slacks combo, so I turned to our digital fashion bible—i.e., Instagram—to find the chicest ensembles to inspire some fresh work outfit ideas into your wardrobe. Because we all need a little sartorial joy on a Monday morning!
From refreshing ways to layer work staples to reimagined takes on classic separates, investing in a few key pieces that can be styled in fashion-forward ways will transform your office look. Breathe new life into your work wardrobe with the chic outfits below.
