I Overhauled My Friend's Work Wardrobe With These 30 Affordable H&M Pieces
One of my friends recently asked me for a shopping cart of easy, appropriate work clothes that don't feel stuffy but still look polished and professional. As an added challenge, I wanted to find pieces that aren't unattainably priced, as the weight of workwear has inevitably decreased following the pandemic.
With hybrid work schedules and mismatched work-from-home loungewear looks, updating your casual work wardrobe can be surprisingly challenging. Whether you only go into the office twice a week or you wear sweatpants with your button-down to work around the house, a few new staples can refresh your post-pandemic closet.
The 30 selections below are effortless, classic, and budget friendly. Per the modern professional, they're not too serious either.
You can't go wrong with an oversized button-down for layering or wearing alone.
A pinstriped blazer is not only limited to your work wardrobe. Wear it over a corset top or with leather for the evening.
Leopard is office approved, and this dress with boots is my new everyday look.
