Work Day Ready: Comfortable Winter Office Looks You’ll Actually Love
A new year often brings a return to routine, including settling back into the rhythm of office days. With that comes a chance to rethink the pieces you’ve been reaching for at work over the past few years, and maybe refresh your winter work wardrobe with something new.
Whether you love getting dressed up for the office or would happily stay in holiday-mode attire forever, one thing is certain: spending all day in uncomfortable clothing is no one’s idea of a good time.
Luckily, Lou Lou specialises in creating polished, office-ready styles that are just as comfortable as they are considered—so comfortable, in fact, you could nap in them (yes, we’ve tested this).
Below, we've rounded up 8 stretchy, work-appropriate pieces—our picks for women's winter work outfits you'll want to wear on repeat. Read on!
1. The Everyday Work LBD
Looks like workwear, feels like loungewear. The Nicks T-Shirt Dress will keep you cool, comfortable, and polished from desk to dinner.
2. The Layer You'll Live In
Meet the perfect finishing layer. Our Quatro Longline Duster Cardigan works with dresses, trousers, and jeans alike, making it one of those rare pieces every winter work wardrobe needs.
3. A Top That Works as Hard as You Do
A well-fitting polo is office ready without trying too hard, and the Rush Polo Top is our personal pick!
