4 Things I'm Buying to Look More Polished at the Office This Spring
Even though I work in a creative office where the dress code is more on the relaxed side, I've found that I'm more productive when I both look and feel polished. Working from home in sweats just doesn't give me the same burst of motivation that getting dressed and going into an office environment does. So in an effort to increase productivity, I've been brainstorming ways to feel more put-together walking into work every day.
After examining my wardrobe, I realized there are a few key items that always help me feel that way, so I'll be doubling down on those this spring. From the ultimate third piece that instantly elevates my outfits to the shoe style that pairs well with every pant style, today I'm highlighting the casual work clothing that always makes me feel ready. Keep reading for the four things I'm investing in to feel more polished at work this spring.
It doesn't get more classic than a crisp white button-down. Whether you pair it with wide-leg jeans or tailored trousers, a white button-down makes everything feel polished. It also goes with just about anything in your closet, so it will easily become one of your most-worn clothing items. Cardigans have been having a major moment the past few seasons, and they show no signs of slowing down. But just because this item is particularly trendy now doesn't take away from the fact that it has always been the perfect office top—just enough structure to feel put-together but also beyond comfortable.I don't even really need to explain why I'm adding oversize blazers to my closet since they're essentially the most versatile piece you could own. Even though I happen to be buying them specifically with the office in mind, I guarantee I'll end up wearing them just as much outside of work. Chic mules and sandals are staples for both inside (if you work in a more creative setting, of course) and outside the office. Pair them with cropped trousers and a pretty blouse for work and then wide-leg jeans and a T-shirt on the weekends.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
