If somebody told you a year ago that you’d spend the majority of 2020 working from home, wearing professional yoga pants (yes, that’s a thing now) and sweatshirts and being surrounded by your kids and your significant other 24\/7, you would’ve thought that’s crazy, wouldn’t you? Take a second to reflect on how you felt about your work arrangements in the last months. Did you feel comfier? Do you miss your pre-Covid-19 work outfits? Or you’re all about these new fashion trends and you’ve even forgotten what it feels like to wear a button-up and a pencil skirt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether we like it or not, this is a trend which is here to stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we need to adapt for the long term. But what should we expect? Mandatory face masks? Business casual office outfit any day of the week? Professional yoga pants? Keep on reading to find out the office fashion trends post-Covid-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business casual: the new suited-and-booted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a survey by office wear blog Corporette<\/a>, 78% of the women who are returning to the office now or in the near future wear or will wear business casual vs 22% for conservative office attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with offices operating at a significantly reduced capacity, even if you went to the office, at least some of your colleagues will connect to work remotely. But it’s not fair for you to wear a professional conservative suit in the office when your colleague joins the Zoom meeting wearing a casual blouse and yoga pants, is it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So is it time to bid farewell to the professional office dress code as we know it and shift to smart casual workwear for any day of the week? I like the idea of swapping heels for loafers and even sneakers, the plain button-up shirt with a t-shirt or light chiffon shirt. Here are 8 casual but elegant office outfits proving that business casual doesn’t mean messy or styleless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
