Welcome to Your Corporate Starter Pack: 11 Chic Outfits That Won't Alarm HR

On both the 2023 and 2024 runways, items once associated with office dressing have been redone by brands like Prada, Saint Laurent, Loewe, and Victoria Beckham. No longer is the market for workwear filled with stuffy skirts or ultra-fitted blazers. Now, you can walk intoReplica Store or Mango and walk out with a sleek pencil skirt, cinched blazer, and buckled sling black heels that are anything but boring. Now when I think about my outfit for work—I think, "How would Miuccia Prada style this?" The rise of corporate-coded pieces in fashion has made getting dressed for the 9-5 job a bit more exciting again. However, while certain outfits make sense on Instagram and the runway, it can be tricky to find outfits that strike a balance between stylish and office-appropriate.

Below, I sourced 11 HR-proof outfits that'll inspire you to rethink your office wardrobe and maybe spark some ideas to style your work staples differently. If you're starting a new job or are simply looking to add more of a stylish touch to your office days, keep scrolling.
