Naturally, when you think of what to wear to work, you think suits. Don’t worry, we do too (and boy, do we love a suit as much as the next girl boss!). That being said, we’re here today to turn that convention on its head and encourage you to think of your work sets as work separates. That way, they can serve multiple purposes in your wardrobe, and isn’t that what we’re all after anyway? Let us be the first to tell you that it’s totally possible to dress professionally while branching out of tradition and flexing your creative styling muscles.
We worked with two cabi Stylists to create an office-ready capsule that can be mixed and matched to oblivion. In this capsule wardrobe, you’ll find the Agent Skirt and Jacket, the Checkout Blazer and Trouser, the Tuxedo Parka and Legging, a pair of sleek jeans, and a few different top options. That’s right, denim and leggings in the workplace! Anything is possible when styled correctly. Take a look at the video to see how the final seven looks were created, and keep reading below to learn how to put each one together yourself!
Mixing grayscale prints will add dimension to your look. Once you’ve done that, balance things out with a classic pair of jeans—opt for a pair with no destruction to keep it professional.
Featured Items: Agent Jacket, Agenda Top, 5th Avenue Jean
Pair the Agent Jacket and matching pencil skirt together as a set. Indulge in a little print mixing by styling back to a fall floral, like the Lark Top.

The Agent set, Checkout suit, and Tuxedo set are such versatile pieces to add to your wear to work rotation. So, what are you waiting for? A whole new world of workwear awaits.
