Wear to Work Wednesday: Wool Separates

Winter is here to stay…at least for a few more weeks! When it’s extremely cold outside, it’s hard to figure out what to wear. After all, the easiest thing to do would be to layer on sweats, but that’s not going to cut it for the workplace!

While you should of course be wearing tights, long johns, silks, etc underneath your clothes to help keep you warm, you will also want to add wool pieces to your winter arsenal. Not just sweaters, but separates like blazers and pants. I’ll be the first to admit, I need to step my game up when it comes to having wool separates in my closet. Especially wool pants since I commute via public transportation!

Create another non traditional suit, by pairing wool separates together like a grey blazer and red wool straight leg pants. If you go for a bright pair of wool pants, let them play center stage and keep the remainder of your outfit neutral.  For this look, I added a camel wool coat; but let’s be honest. You really need a Northface when it’s below 32 degrees! Since you’ll be in the office, keep your makeup fresh with nude lips, bronzer and natural shades of eye shadow. Complete the look with a nice watch and textured bag.
