Although I no longer work in a traditional office setting, it’s still incredibly important for me to have tailored pieces in my wardrobe so I can whip up powerful outfits in a flash. It’s no secret that I’m constantly in and out of meetings. As a result, I always want to put my best foot forward. And with winter exiting the stage, I can’t wait to experiment with new workwear trends to create a new and chic office look!

Be sure to get started on that wardrobe refresh while you can save a few dollars. But first, let’s review my favorite workwear trends below.
1 Menswear Tailoring
I love wearing modern womenswear pieces with menswear-inspired tailoring. Nothing makes me feel stronger than a boxy, oversized blazer or pintuck trousers. Throw on a pair of heels with these pieces and you’ll feel ready to conquer the world. Remember that menswear-inspired doesn’t necessarily mean masculine. Add a frilly blouse or statement earrings for a nice, feminine touch.

2 Stripes
I am obsessed with anything that has stripes on it. Vertical stripes make a petite frame like me appear taller! Whether it’s a pair of stripe trousers or a light trench coat, stripes always look fresh and clean – the perfect sign of Spring. You can find plenty of traditional and modern, colorful stripes at Express.

3 Polka Dots
I find myself wearing polka dots as much as stripes these days – I love how versatile of a print its become. Pair a polka dot blouse with a pencil skirt or tucked into high-waisted pants for a polished product. Add a blazer or cardigan over your ensemble to downplay the print if you feel it’s too girly or youthful.

4 Muted Colors
Spring 2018 is all about colors whether it’s bold and bright or soft and subdued. For the office, I find a muted color palette more appropriate. I really appreciate how Express’ latest offerings contain a lot of dusty pinks and blues and earthy tones. It’s all very ideal for achieving a chic office look.

5 Romantic Details
If you want to add a bit of a breezy, romantic touch to your wardrobe, Express has plenty of eyelet, ruching, and fluttery pieces to pick from. They’ll all pair beautifully with your tailored bottoms or outerwear pieces – and even work as a part of your casual Friday attire or weekend outfit.
