Gen Z Office Siren Here—These 23 Fall Pieces Look Professional But Still Cool
Your coworkers will be gagged.
Working in the office as a Gen Zer used to be quite tricky. I came into the workforce at a time when a ton of things were up in the air and ended up working remotely most of the time. Once I had to start going into the office, it dawned on me that I had never worked in an office before. I was marching into new territory and knew that I had to fall in line with whatever the dress code was. The thing is I'm a laid-back dresser with touches of whimsy and humor in my outfits. I love when an outfit expresses exactly who I am, which is why a business-casual dress code daunted me.
However, my style was easy to integrate into the office dress code. I just made sure to wear the items that were true to me and then added the classic office pieces, like a blazer, short heels, and trousers. Now, not only am I a professional in the office, but I also look like one. I know dress codes are a bit controversial, but there's always a way to make even the strictest rules bend if you just try. I found some fashion items that are office-friendly for my fellow Gen Z office sirens and also totally cool, including blazers with a twist, boots with personality, and versatile tops that you can wear for after-work hangouts.
