Welcome to the new year… You may find yourself headed back to the office or having to be on Zoom a bit more, but if you find yourself pining for new plus size workwear, where do you go and how do you begin updating? A few of you were chatting about this on Twitter and as promised, we are here to talk about a few workwear updates that will keep you poised, polished, and professional in the office.

Have you noticed that you wearing the same thing you had on last week? You know the tried and true #OOTD. Don’t feel bad, we completely understand the struggle of getting dressed for work in the morning. Standing in the abyss called a closet in your underwear, wondering why didn’t you get that black maxi that went with everything.

But then you go online searching and you are left uninspired, questioning why the fashion folk would subject you to garish prints, random bedazzling or worse? Extremely boring or matronly options.

Skirting By:

Sometimes, a great skirt suit can do all the work in your closet. In the same vein that a pantsuit can be worn three ways, so can your skirt! Especially if your skirt is versatile enough to be paired with other items in your closet.

High waist, cropped, and wide leg pants will definitely be a few silhouettes that you will find in pants this year! Pep up even the most boring work suit ultimate with a high waist pant in a fun hue.

Or take it tapered and sleek with these on playful plaids or bold hues. Who says that you off-duty clothes get to have all the fun?

Playful Prints:

Now, not everyone is a fan of prints. Prints can be extremely personal!
