Winter Work Wardrobe

By Silhouettes · November 24, 2010 · 0 Comments · 42 Views

With the onset of chilly weather, it’s time to think about updating your winter work wardrobe. Basics like black pants, neutral colored sweaters, boots, and a coat are all important things to have so you can mix and match. Here are a few other outfits you might want to invest in—and then mix the pieces up to create multiple options.

Wide-leg drawstring pants with ruffled sleeve sweater:  These super-comfortable pants are perfect for work or at home—you can wear them all the time. Pair them with something like the ruffled sleeve sweater for a more professional look, or add a fitted top and cardigan for days around the house.

Tweed drawstring pants and tweed cascade jacket: These pants and jacket provide some building blocks for a ton of outfits! For wearing them together, just add a colorful turtleneck or other brightly colored blouse underneath. Separately they’re great neutral pieces that will go with almost anything else in your professional winter wardrobe.

Colorblock dress: This one isn’t pieces, but I still think it’s a great option. It’s very elegant and flattering, with an a-line shape and style, and the cobalt color blocks mixed with the black are striking. I recommend this for work or any kind of fancy social occasion.

Skirting the Issue

Even though it’s getting colder, long skirts can still work as part of your winter wardrobe, provided you pair them with tights and boots or other practical shoes. It’s fun to wear skirts, so I hate to give them up just because it’s chilly.

Here are some of my favorite kinds of skirts to wear in the winter:

Ballet skirt: This long, flowing skirt is a classic piece to wear to work on a cold day. It’s elegant and feminine and fun.

Stretch skirt: A pretty piece that’s long (but not as long as the ballet skirt) and looks fabulous with tall boots. The swing style is one of my favorites.

Tweed riding skirt: Tweed is very trendy right now and this skirt is the perfect vehicle to show it off. So classic and perfect for fall and winter days—and as usual, great with the boots.
