You just got the memo: you\u2019re going back to the office. So you are going to need some work outfits. After a year and a half of working from your dining room table or makeshift office set-up, \u201cgoing to work\u201d is going to be a literal thing again. Are sweatpants and leggings considered business casual? I vote yes, because who shouldn\u2019t be comfortable at work, but probably not. So like a good co-worker would, I am helping you out! I have styled five different, budget-friendly looks for heading back to the office. You got this!<\/p>\n

Business Casual Work Outfits<\/h2>\n

Give your basics a little boost with a pair of cropped wideleg pants. From running meetings to running to the copier 10 times a day, these pants will keep you comfortable but put together. A neutral pair of heels helps sharpen up the look!<\/p>\n

Slay that meeting! Make sure all eyes are on you in today\u2019s board meeting with a printed blouse that\u2019s just as beautiful as your ideas. Embellished mules or wedges keep you on your toes without hobbling around. After all, being comfortable is a GREAT idea <\/p>\n

9 to 5 to 9<\/h2>\n

Workin\u2019 9 to 5 Dolly knew what she was talking about. But what about 5 to 9?! A.k.a. drinks and dinner with co-workers, friends, significant other, etc. When there\u2019s no time to change after work, opt for a fun dress that\u2019s both length and silhouette-appropriate. Throw on a cardigan for the office AC. You can always keep a moto jacket in your car for those after-work events!<\/p>\n
