What BAZAAR Editors Wear to Work

“Summer is practically a part of my personality, and any chance I get, I fully lean in. And nothing screams summer more than the tie-dye of this Altuzarra dress. I wear a straw bag almost year-round, and this Loewe is a favorite of mine—perfect for the office and the beach.” —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, fashion and accessories editor

Loewe Large Basket Bag $580 at Mytheresa

Illesteva Lisbon Sunglasses $240 at Illesteva

“I tend to choose my outfit for the day in the morning as it’s all centered around my mood. I usually gravitate toward comfy clothes, but like to keep it cool with my go-to blacks and whites. A white oversized shirt is my signature, and this one is perfection. The stiffness and exaggerated oversize make it a true statement piece.” —Alexandra Delifer, executive assistant to the editor-in-chief

“This might be controversial, but I’m not above wearing a minidress to the office. (Sue me! I work for a fashion magazine, after all!) I love this vintage Gap piece—a secondhand find that I ended up hemming myself—because it has a slightly mod feel to it. I’m also obsessed with a square toed boot, and I think this knee-high pair gives the outfit a necessary 9-to-5 element.” —Chelsey Sanchez, associate editor

Reformation Leith Dress $198 at Reformation

Jeffrey Campbell Maximal Boots $275 at Nordstrom

“I love a breezy wide-leg trouser in the summer. These ones from Aussie label SIR. are the perfect crisp cotton poplin. Minimalist flat sandals like this pair from Aeyde are my go-to for office days because I like to walk to work. My classic Chanel flap bag has a pocket for everything to keep me organized, and the Prada headband tames my flyaways and adds a ‘pop.'” —Alison Cohn, deputy fashion news editor

“This Frankie Shop blouse has been sold out for months and I literally had to go to the brand’s Paris location to grab the last available one. [Editor’s note: It’s in stock again.] I wear it all the time with trousers and slip skirts but wanted to go for a fun silhouette with the high slit denim skirt for today.” —Bianca Betancourt, culture editor

Frankie Shop Sylvia Shirt $129 at Frankie Shop
Mango Slit Denim Skirt $35 at Mango
Shutz Lisa Sandal $98 at Bloomingdale’s

“After working remotely for two years, I’ve leaned heavily into comfort. You won’t really catch me wearing high heels or anything too constricting in the office (bras included). But prints and pops of color make me happy. I especially love playing that up in the summer. Oh, and I can’t go anywhere without a pair of sunglasses. They’re my favorite accessory and instantly make me feel cooler.” —Jamie Wilson, beauty editor

“I’m starting to have fun with getting dressed again, and I’ve been taking a lot of inspiration from the runway and ready-to-wear collections. This look was inspired by last season’s fall collections where so many brands were incorporating equestrian motifs into their styling. These stirrup leggings tie into the theme perfectly. I paired them with the loafers to make the outfit feel more work-appropriate—while also showing off the fun detailing at the bottom.” —Mariah Morrison, senior social media editor

“I’ve been experimenting with brighter clothing this summer, and I’m only just now discovering how well a pop of color can seriously enliven an outfit without necessarily compromising on cohesion. I love my whites, blacks, and neutrals, and tend to shy away from anything outside of these basic shades—so this is basically an adventurous look for me.” —Sabrina Park, editorial assistant

L’Academie Blazer $251 at Revolve

Sunday Ritual Dress $59 at Sunday Ritual

Mejuri Hoop Earrings $350 at Mejuri

“I woke up on this morning with a stacked calendar: market appointments, interviews for stories, and coordinating this very shoot on the line-up. An all-neutral palette fits every situation and takes five minutes, tops, to assemble before catching an early train to work. This time, I layered my absolute favorite AYR button-down with a ribbed tank and linen trousers to keep cool while juggling multiple deadlines.” —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor

Wilfred Effortless Linen Pant $148 at Aritzia

Sézane Tammy Belt $90 at Sézane

M.Gemi Marina Sandal $245 at M.Gemi

“Picture this: You wake up to a prepacked workbag, morning routine in full effect, and zero plans for an outfit. Getting dressed in the morning is usually an IRL experience for me. I see how I feel when I wake up. A lot of looks I put together are consistent, however, much like a uniform, and often are a culmination of the best of classic key pieces: the perfect white T-shirt, excellent vintage Levi’s, a blazer or collarless jacket, and a flat (ballet or Mary Jane). There’s so much value investing in items you’ll wear repeatedly!” —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, fashion and accessories editor

Celine Chasseur Jacket $3,600 at Celine

Petit Bateau T-Shirt $27 at Smallable

Levi’s Vintage 501 Jeans $128 at Levi’s

Margaux The Demi Flats $198 at Margaux

“I always gear toward something more minimalistic. I like to go with classics—I think that’s what works for me and my body type best. I love a boxy blazer, I love a wide-leg trouser jean, and I love a graphic tee. I bought this tee five or six years ago; it’s a vintage Phillip Lim tee that I got at this vintage fundraiser I went to. I love something a little cheeky with classic office staples, then bringing in a little color with my accessories.” —Bianca Betancourt, culture editor

Everlane The ’80s Blazer $175 at Everlane

Luar Large Ana Tote $365 at Luar

DL1961 Hepburn Jean $209 at DL1961

Sarto by Franco Sarto Slide Sandal $105 at Nordstrom

“I like to secretly wear pajamas as often as possible. And I LOVE beautiful trousers. I hunted these down, and it took me a year—a pair mysteriously popped up on Yoox a few weeks ago. I think for ages before I buy something, and then I wear it for years; I’ve had most of my clothes for a decade or more. I choose my clothes the morning of work, based on how much commuting and moving around the city I’m doing that day. If I’m meeting a designer, I might wear one of their pieces or a vintage piece they’d appreciate.” —Rachel Tashjian, fashion news director

Bode Beaded Workwear Jacket $1,696 at Slam Jam

The Row Igor Pants $990 at Nordstrom

Loewe Paula’s Ibiza Sunglasses $380 at SSENSE

Alaïa Black Studded Demi-Lune Bag $1,690 at SSENSE

“This outfit was totally planned ahead of the shoot, but on most days, I like to just feel things out the morning of. For the most part, I’m going for things that bring comfort and help me feel good in my body. I’ve been leaning, in particular, toward tan and beige neutrals, but I always love a cohesive monochrome moment.” —Sabrina Park, editorial and social media assistant

Modern Citizen Kimberly Ruched Tee $50 at Modern Citizen

Modern Citizen Kiki Side-Slit Skirt $98 at Modern Citizen

“I want to still feel like me when I’m in the office, so my attitude towards assembling a work outfit often involves centering the kind of delicate femininity that’s at the crux of my personal style. I try to represent that here with the corset, the drop waist, and the lacy socks. Of course, not every office environment may be as fashion friendly as Harper BAZAAR’s, but I think a corset can still be a dependable layering piece, whether it’s styled over a button-up or a breezy dress. To tie it all together, I appreciate slouchy outerwear like this cream belted coat—and will revel in wearing it for as long as the city’s spring weather allows me to.” —Chelsey Sanchez, associate editor

Staud Alice Corset $165 at SSENSE

COS Pleated Skirt $150 at COS

Silk Maison Belted Coat $289 at Silk Maison

Pêche Amias Shoes $98 at Pêche

“I’d consider my style effortlessly chic, polished with an edge. I get ready based off my mood in the morning. Today was a low-key Monday, so I went with a more casual-chic-comfortable look, but the kitten heels from Paul Andrew elevated it. Having essential pieces like great denim and tees to style with accessories is always my go-to.” —Alicia Banilivy, fashion & retail credits editor

The Row Islington Sweater $1,250 at Saks Fifth Avenue

Ami Paris T-Shirt $135 at Farfetch

DL1961 Hepburn Jean $209 at DL1961

“When it comes to deciding on what to wear to the office, I tend to gravitate toward versatile separates I can mix and match that are comfortable enough to wear all day, yet still look pulled together. To create this work look in particular, I mentally planned ahead—though that definitely isn’t always the case when it comes to my routine. And since I already knew I wanted to wear this fun and vibrant pajama top by Nadine Merabi, I decided to keep the rest of my look simple (and comfortable!) with a pair of knit black pants and black leather ballet flats.” —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

Nadine Merabi Darcie Top $200 at Nadine Merabi
