Office Trends Come and Go, But "Corporate Cozy" Will Always Be My Work Uniform in the Winter

3 hours ago 6

Woman wearing office trends.

There's something about winter that makes dressing for the office a little trickier, but that's why I use this time to make comfort a nonnegotiable. Style may still be top of mind, but while I was braving wind and snow today to get to my place of work, I just knew I couldn't do that in heels and a pencil skirt. That's why I keep coming back to one dependable theme during this complex season: corporate cozy.

This aesthetic is easy to capture if you already have it in your closet. It's all about merging classic workwear with layers that feel soft and warm. Think tailored sweaters, wide-leg trousers, and polished knit dresses that transition seamlessly from your desk to the chic happy hour you're headed to afterward. If you're looking for ways to refresh your work wardrobe this season, this cozy uniform has you covered.
