Even though I spend most of my days in the office, I still struggle to create a chic winter work look. Work-ready wardrobes can feel complicated because they need to reflect your personal style while still feeling professional. That’s why I’m turning to Zara’s new-in section. The brand has just debuted a range of stylish pieces I’ll feel good about wearing around a team of fashion insiders. But because the selection is downright massive, I pulled together a tight edit of the need-to-buy items you can wear right now.
My capsule wardrobe picks include oversized blazers, wide-leg trousers, dark denim, and other layer-able basics like tees, button-down tops, and more. Consider this the perfect time to give your rotation a much-needed refresh. Winter weather is here to stay for another few months, so it’s a great time for something new.
This under-$15 top is the epitome of an elevated basic. The higher neckline will layer well underneath your favorite sweaters and jackets.
If you do need a new black blazer, consider this one with nautical-themed gold buttons.
Meet your new favorite work dress—it's easy to style and chic.
I have a few black jackets in my collection already, so this checkered one caught my eye.
The same idea goes for black trousers. I'm swapping them out for this gray pair.
If your office allows you to wear jeans, consider this pair. The almost-black wash and wide leg makes them look like a pair of your typical work pants.
Experimenting with thicker fabrics like corduroy is an easy way to add some new texture to your style.
Style this vest over a turtleneck now and wear it on its own come spring.
You probably have enough basic button-downs. The silver buttons on this add something special to your lineup.
Make the bubble skirt trend work for you (and your office) by choosing this nylon midi-length version.
Plaid is a major spring trend (even though it's typically popular in the fall). This midi skirt is an easy way to incorporate the look into your closet.
No need to buy an extra belt—this skirt comes adorned with one.
T-strap heels are so timeless. The lower height on this option is great for all-day wear.
I'm not normally a fan of color, but I love this dark green dress. It's like the winterized version of summer's Brat Green look.
If you're more of a ballet flats person, consider this pair.
Kitten-heeled boots are my secret to making any outfit feel just a touch more elevated—pun intended.
Swap your usual laptop bag for this chic $50 version.
I'm a big fan of wearing black and navy together (I know, controversial). This thicker knit looks so cozy.
How fancy-feeling is this $50 cardigan?
I've been shopping for a lot of red pieces lately, and I low how they look with mocha mousse-colored trousers like this pair.
This two-tone dress will make you look like you put a ton of effort into your outfit.
I have a striped shirt similar to this one and I wear it whenever I want to add a bit of interest to my outfits.
