Finding dressy, work-appropriate clothes for winter is often a challenge. You want to look great while staying warm and comfortable. Easier said than done.
Most warm, comfortable clothing isn’t very dressy, work-appropriate clothes aren’t always very warm, and dressy clothing isn’t always work-appropriate. More generally, most winter work inspiration shots seem to be geared toward 40s/50s temperatures. In the midwest and many other parts of the country, winter weather tends to be much colder. While the winter business casual fashion inspiration I’m sharing may not cover you for -1o wind chills, it will cover you for freezing and slightly below freezing temperatures.
My one complaint about the favorite winter business casual fashion inspiration images I collected is that there isn’t enough color. Why are so many people afraid to wear color? I understand not being drawn toward neon yellow or magenta. But there’s nothing wrong with a pop of bright green or blue, especially on a dreary winter day. Adding a colorful pair of shoes or a bold accessory goes a long way. I’ve tried to include a mix of neutral and colorful items in my retail picks at the end of the post.

I especially love that comphy slouchy sweater and beanie combo. These are some great ideas. ):
Love all these looks and and my bank account could be in big trouble. So many great pieces.
I love that blue/grey blazer! I kind of miss wearing cooler weather clothes, but I don’t miss being cold!
Love these ideas! I agree about not having enough color in the winter. I always try to add a pop of color no matter what I’m wearing 🙂
I really do struggle with winter fashion. I gained some weight so I don’t really feel comfortable in certain types of clothes anymore, which means that I where a lot of sweat pants and leggings and feel frumpy. Thanks for the inspiration!
