I’m Abby!.
I'm a certified & published fashion stylist located in Silicon Valley with speciality in personal styling, color analysis and runway, commercial, and editorial styling.

We’ve been seeing an influx of clients heading back into the office whether it’s full time or Hybrid. Since Covid, the Work from Home (WFH) wardrobe consisted of casual yet polished tops with comfy bottoms that worked “good enough” for Zoom. 

Now, as people head back into the office, they are realizing that they want their clothes to feel more than just “good enough.” They want their clothes to fit and feel current, fit the company culture, and reflect who they are and where they are going.

Abby Young Styling Approved: 10 Back-to-Office Outfit Staples

1. Elevated T-Shirt 

A polished essential that upgrades any outfit without trying too hard. It keeps your look clean and modern while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear.

2. Button Down Shirt

A timeless piece that instantly sharpens your outfit. Whether styled traditionally or more relaxed, it brings structure and professionalism.

3. Lightweight Sweater

Perfect for layering, this adds softness without bulk. It keeps your outfit approachable while still feeling office-appropriate.

4. Structured Blazer

This is what gives an outfit authority. It creates clean lines and elevates even the most casual pieces underneath.

5. Layering Jacket

A practical outer layer that adds dimension and flexibility. It allows you to adapt your look throughout the day without losing polish.

6. Relaxed Trousers

Comfort meets intention. The looser fit feels effortless, while the tailoring keeps the look refined.

7. Tailored Pant

A sharper alternative that defines your silhouette. This is the foundation for a more put-together, classic office look.

8. Straight Leg Denim

A modern essential that balances casual and structured. It’s an easy way to keep outfits current without sacrificing polish.

9. White Sneaker

A clean, minimal option that keeps outfits grounded and wearable. It softens more formal pieces without looking out of place.

10. Loafers/Flats

An easy way to elevate your look while staying comfortable. They bring a refined finish without feeling overly formal.
