I Just Assembled 5 Impressive Workwear Outfits Entirely From COS

As soon as your alarm goes off for another day at work, the last thing on your mind is having to put together an outfit that is as fashionable as it is functional, and just like that, it's easy to slip into the habit of rewearing the same outfit formula on repeat to save yourself some valuable minutes of waking-up time. Sound familiar? You aren't alone. And once the dreaded "style rut" sets in, it can be difficult to think of what to wear to work that will comfy, commute-ready and, most importantly, chic. Thanks to COS, I've just found the solution. 

Workwear clothing needn't be drab pinstripes, ill-fitting tailoring and uncomfortable court shoes, something that COS knows all too well. (In fact, I even wore COS on my first day in theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing office.) With the new season in sight, there's no reason you can't embrace all of the colours, textures and silhouettes of spring in a way that's also office appropriate. Enter COS's brand of understated, timeless pieces that toe the line between workwear foundations and everyday essentials. We're talking about wide-leg trousers, oversized shirts, refined co-ords and plenty of polished accessories. 

To help take the stress out of your daily routine, I've assembled five easy desk-to-dinner outfits from COS that still keep your off-the-clock style so you can make the most of every piece in your wardrobe. Thankfully, most workplaces have a more casual dress code (and any time we can wear jeans is a bonus), so you can mix and match pieces from the below looks for your office outfits, weekend plans and even after-work drinks, so you needn't worry about having to carry a change of shoes. Our edit also pays close attention to outfit-elevating accessories like smart handbags and a trusty pair of loafers that will go with just about anything. Keep scrolling for every new-in piece a fashion editor would buy now from COS to build countless workwear outfits. They're every bit as good as they sound. 

1. KNITTED POLO SHIRT + MIDI SKIRT + MULES

Style Notes: Lucky for us the styling is made easy, thanks to the fitted waistband on the sweatshirt. Wear it on top of the skirt and add a belt to further accentuate this feature and add a contrasting colour. The polished gold accent on the belt matches with the earrings, making this piece feel more uniform.

Style Notes: Make the most of wool textures whilst the weather is still chilly, with this cropped jacket trouser suit combination. The combination of the cropped jacket with the androgynous Penny loafers is a great mix for the office.

Style Notes: One thing is for certain, you'll want to take this chic look straight from the office to after-work dos. It's contemporary tailoring at its finest and the knitted blazer is a refreshing take on suiting.

Style Notes: If you're lucky enough to have a relaxed office dress code (like the WWW office), this look is for you. It's cool, with transitional separates that you'll get ample wear out of on off-duty days, too.

5. SUIT + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS + SHOULDER BAG

Style Notes: Skorts have come to disrupt the regular suiting schedule and I'm here for it. Although this look has fun trendy elements it will still transcend to more formal workplaces.
