We spend a large part of the day in the work environment, so choosing work looks shouldn't become a struggle every morning. Now that the date to return after the summer holidays is approaching, at Rivera Spain we bring you all the keys on how to dress for the office along with some look proposals to be comfortable and very stylish.
Keys to dressing comfortably and elegantly in the office
If you are looking for how to dress elegantly for the office, the key is to opt for elegant and timeless garments. You don't need stridency or flashy logos, but rather focus on quality garments that you can use season after season without fear of them looking outdated. Some keys that you should check in your garments to go well dressed to the office are:
- Quality fabrics. Opt for comfortable, breathable materials with a good drape that are easy to care for, such as cotton, linen, or viscose.
- Opt for neutral tones. By choosing neutral-colored garments, you ensure that you can use them all year round. Shades of sand, taupe, navy blue, black, and white are always a hit. Versatile, easy to combine, and fit perfectly if you want to convey professionalism with your look.
- Fluid garments. The most current office looks rely on fluid garments. Gone are tight pencil skirts or corseted suits. Opting for fluid garments such as pleated trousers or palazzo trousers is a perfect option to create comfortable and sophisticated looks to endure a long workday.
How to dress casual for the office: the smart casual balance
More and more companies are becoming more flexible regarding the dress code. If you wonder how to dress casual for the office without falling into something excessively informal, you will find the answer in the smart casual style.
The trick is to combine formal garments with more relaxed ones. For example, a dress with flat ballet pumps or straight trousers with a basic top and women's dress sneakers.
Can you wear jeans to the office?
This is one of the most common doubts. If you are doubting whether it is possible to wear jeans to the office, the answer is yes. As long as your company allows it and you combine them with garments that provide a more formal touch.
To wear jeans to work, choose straight-cut trousers, without rips or being too worn. To increase the level of formality, it is mandatory to combine them with more sophisticated garments such as blouses or good leather shoes.
However, from Rivera Spain, we propose an alternative that surpasses denim in every way: fluid trousers with an elasticated waistband.

Trousers with an elasticated waistband provide much more comfort when spending hours sitting, they do not press, and this proposal has a refined aesthetic that you can combine with your favorite tops and blouses.
The garment that can never be missing in your office looks
If there is one capable of lifting any basic outfit, it is a good third layer. This is where women's jackets come into play, a must-have in all your office looks.

Wearing a basic t-shirt and simple trousers changes completely when you add a good jacket to your outfit to provide the elegant touch. Whether they are long, waist-length, and more or less structured, it is an essential garment. Not only because it brings the smart touch to your outfit, but because it is a very practical garment when it gets chilly in the morning when leaving home or if the temperature drops in the office with the air conditioning.
This season, prepare for the return to the office hand in hand with Rivera Spain with our women's clothing collection. Garments designed and made 100% in Spain.
