Kendall Jenner The Row pants went viral on social media. Scrolling our Instagram feed, there was post after post of minimal outfits, containing the basic building blocks of an outfit: Pants, t-shirt, and a button-up. These three pieces suggest the days of “workplace casual”, a nightmare phrase for fashionable young people working in an office.
Stylish people needn’t fear looking like a stern librarian or frumpy office Karen in this outfit (sorry, Karen but it’s true). It’s all about your attitude and accessories. Wear this outfit with square-shaped sunglasses, belt it up, add a mini shoulder bag, or throw some hoop earrings on. These accessories are easily interchangeable and absolutely make or break this outfit.
We love this trend because you can plumb the depths of your closet, dust off your year-old office wardrobe, and easily recreate it. Alternatively, with offices opening again across the country, you can shop for office-appropriate attire without sacrificing style.
