Continuing with our theme from last week, I spent some time scrolling Pinterest looking for outfits that would be good for working from home. Today’s outfit is relaxed and classic with a bit of elegance. Because who says WFH has to be boring?
I love how this Pinterest outfit mixes light neutrals, different textures, and relaxed pieces to create a look that feels like you put a lot of effort into it, but you didn’t. Also, even without the coat it’s a fab look. Here’s how to recreate it.
Coat // A camel coat is a great thing to keep in your wardrobe. It always look chic and can be dressed up or down. This one from J.Crew is sleek and sophisticated — the red detail under the collar is great. Don’t miss this Reiss coat at 50%-off in an after season sale. This Avec Les Filles coat gives you age same look as the Reiss for under-$150.
Pants // Ditch the idea that you can only wear white pants in summer. In winter, they look fresh and breezy. I chose these fleece joggers from Target to stay warm and comfortable in my office. For a less casual option, Athleta has these bone-colored pants with a sleek cargo styling, also in tall and petite.
Prefer a twill option? This pair from LOFT give you that springy vibe. They’re also on sale for $20 right now. Plus-size? Try Athleta’s Farallon jogger.
Sweater // A textured turtleneck sweater with a slightly full collar, the inspiration sweater is fantastic. Finding something similar was a challenge, but this Amazon sweater has the same chunky vibe. This bobble sweater is also a great option. If this is a piece that you would wear frequently, I recommend splurging a bit on either this cashmere Reformation sweater in a ribbed knit.
Prefer something more relaxed? My favorite Varley sweater is the perfect choice for this look, with a voluminous collar and slightly slouchy style.
Shoes // An all white sneaker gets a boost from a simple metallic detail. The classic Nikes are a fabulous option, and come in at a very affordable $52.
Accessories // My dream is to make partner and buy myself a Cartier Tank watch. I know it’s not the most original choice, but I’ve adored them for years. Plus, I’d like something heirloom quality so I can gift it to Sloane later in life. For an inexpensive fashion watch, I found two choices: this cognac leather Fossil watch and this option from Nordstrom Rack.
Do you wear an Apple watch? Tory Burch makes fantastic leather bands to give it a more professional vibe. Quince also sells a <$30 option.
Obviously, the outfit needed Ray-Ban Aviators. If you want a cooler style, these Carrera aviators with a unique shape caught my eye.
Finally, finish out the look with a clutch bag. Now that I carry a diaper bag with me many places, I just shove a medium clutch with my items into it. I love that this MKF bag has a ring so it will stay on your hand like a bracelet. I also like the navy and red stripe on this foldover clutch from Verishop.

The Longines Dolcevita is similar to Cartier tank (also my dream watch). Still a splurge (it was my promotion present to myself in 2015)
I have promised myself a (gently used) Cartier Tank for my 40th Birthday or promotion to Army Colonel, whichever comes first!
In the meantime, I bought my mother, would refuse to wear a watch the price of the Cartier Tank, this classic Seiko for Chanukah: https://seikousa.com/collections/essentials/products/swr066
