Workers are slowly heading back to their offices, albeit in small numbers. A lot is likely to have changed over the last five or so months, and you don’t want your work pals to think you have been stuck in time, so it is time to shop for some brand new workwear!

Workwear doesn’t have to be boring, you can play around with it and manipulate it to work with your personal style. Here are five essentials you need to make a stylish entrance back into the office:

Glasses

Approximately 68% of people in the UK wear glasses yet they still get a bad reputation for being ugly or not going with every outfit, but that needn’t be the case. There are hundreds of different brands and not to mention thousands of different styles of glasses available so you are bound to find at least one pair to really wow your colleagues. Why not try out some slick Tom Fords or for a cooler, laid back look come lunchtime consider some Ray-Bans?

It might sound boring but a crisp white shirt really is a workwear essential! The white shirt has found its way into the fashion spotlight recently with various fits and designs available. Whether you are going for a slick tailored look, or more of an edgy and undone vibe, there is a shirt to suit any style and plenty that will certainly have your coworkers heads turning.

A super-smart tote

A slick leather tote bag is great for both practicality and for style purposes, making it a definite essential for your return to the office. Remote working is likely to be something we are doing on a much more regular basis, so a bag big enough to carry your laptop, notebook and any other work-related items is going to work in your favour.

Power suit

If there is one thing we want our colleagues to know, it is that we aren’t messing around when it comes to our career. There is no better way to get that point across than wearing a power suit and rocking up to the office looking and feeling as confident as ever! A fashionable take on the traditional straight leg trouser suit, the power suit comes in so many cuts to suit every body type and style and is a great way to level up your professional workwear game.

Comfortable shoes

What are shoes? With most of us being stuck at home for the last five or so months, shoes have been neglected and our feet have got used to nothing but fluffy carpets underfoot. For this reason a comfortable pair of shoes is a definite workwear essential and one you will thank yourself for at the end of your 40 hour week!

Comfortable can still be stylish so there is no need to be turning up to work in your Crocs, why not try a pair of loafers or even purchase some memory foam insoles if you insist on wearing your stilettos.
