Whether you're working in a creative office, behind the scenes, or at a desk answering phones, chances are your usual work wardrobe includes tailored black trousers and a white button down. While go-to workwear is great for saving time, it can get incredibly monotonous. Updating office-appropriate pieces are key to enhancing your 9-5 looks. From high waisted wide-leg pants to oversized blazers and floral dresses, check out these new and improved pieces to add to your collection.

You could never wear a jumpsuit to work, right? Wrong! This street style-inspired black jumpsuit is absolutely appropriate office attire when worn with heeled sandals and a blazer on top as we see here. An added bonus is that the blazer can be taken off after work and you're all set for happy hour.

A Warm Weather Look For A Day in The Office

Unfortunately, warmer weather doesn't mean what it used to when we were kids: that we were free from responsibility and 'summer' clothes went into full effect. As an adult, there is usually still a dress code for the office. But what we don't want is to sweat in a full suit while typing behind a desk. This tailored spring suit is perfect for weekday wear; the blazer is cropped and so are the pants. Add a pair of ankle-strap heels and you're good to go.

Add a funky pair of sunglasses to a classic trench coat look, but modernized the ensemble with belted leather trousers and the lug-sole boots of now.
