As many are starting to get those notifications that it’s time to head back into the office, we figured we’d spend this weekend prepping for office life again. So much has changed over the past 18 months, including our wardrobes – so they’re saying we have to put real pants on again?

Unfortunately, those matching tie-dye sweatsuits that were trending won’t cut it for back-to-office style. If you are like us and looked at your wardrobe, and we mean really looked at it, after 18 months, you might be asking, “what the heck did we use to wear IRL?” Nothing seems to be the right style anymore.

Do I  brush the dust off the blazer and pair it with jeans?
What about a skirt and blouse?
Any footwear?!

Grab your squad and tackle your updated work look this weekend with these tips to look and feel great (through your five senses).

• Staple Blazer: We all need one, but what about one that feels like a sweatshirt but is all business?! You have to check out Grey State Apparel’s Kate Blazer. It’s the perfect blazer to transition back into the office.
• “Professional” Tee: Everlane is a must for great-looking and feeling simple t-shirts to wear under blazers, cardigans, or just as is.
• The Work Dress: We all have one! The go-to one and done slip it over your head, and out the door you go “work dress.” It’s time to elevate it with Naadam’s dress.
• Heels That Won’t Kill Your Feet: Inez Founder and Creative Director Hannah Spinelli was on a mission to design comfortable heels, and she did just that. These Sara heel is perfect for in and out of the office.
• The Flat: You should know by now that Rothy’s has our heart when it comes to flat office footwear – comfortable and sustainable.
• Accessories: It’s amazing how even the simplest of accessories can pull an entire look together. Try these gold hoops from Missoma.

A few other suggestions to bring your best work-self back to life:

• Charlotte Tilbury’s Look of Love Instant Look Kit with Wonder Glow face primer – her products are minimal, light, and long-lasting.
• Pop on your manicure with Static Nails!
• Grab your Cuyana tote. One of our favs – made by women for modern women wanting a simple quality bag.  

The first day will be a significant change, don’t forget to unwind when you get home. Consider having lavender in your Vitruvi diffuser, relieving any muscle tension with the Prima renewal stone, put on some soothing music – Calm app has a great options, and drift away with your Nod eye mask.

You’ve got this lady!
