Top Trends in Colorful Office Wear You Have to Know

It’s Monday again and for the fifth time this month you stand in front of a closet full of neutrals and you are just so-not-excited to wear them to the office. Or, another scenario, you work from home and you sit in sweatpants all day long, not motivated to wear anything prettier. But what if I told you that colorful office wear can boost your motivation and make work (no matter if it’s from home or a fancy office building) more exciting?

Color psychology is a known concept and it applies to what you wear and how it makes you feel. And hey, you don’t need to be stuck at neutrals anymore – you can work hard and dress bright!

I see, I see. You want to add more color to your professional wardrobe, but you just simply… don’t know how. You don’t know what looks good, and fun, yet it is still appropriate to wear in the office. Almost every Monday you wish you knew the trends in dopamine dressing so you can look more playful while working. You don’t feel happy enough wearing boring elegant clothes – you want some change.

I’ve got you, girl! These trends in colorful office wear will show you the direction in using dopamine dressing in professional situations with moderation but also inspire you to be braver in colorful fashion. And, most importantly, make dressing in the morning fun again.

Let’s dive right in!

What Is Colorful Office Wear?

Some people would say that it’s colorful clothes that you wear for work. But, there are as many professions as there are people! That’s why I prefer a little bit more chilled definition, so to speak. I think that colorful business clothes are the ones with a professional feel (blazers, elegant pants, dresses, pencil skirts), but do not feel too stiff and boring.

Nowadays dress codes are rare, and that’s why I think there are a few types of colorful office wear – more formal ones, smart casual, or even playful (imagine an art teacher following dopamine dressing in her outfits!).

The most important is for YOU to feel good in your look. Of course, you should be mindful of the rules in your workplace regarding the outfit if there are any, and simply show professionalism by the way you dress. Yet I also believe one can do it WITHOUT compromising on the style of simple fun from wearing what they love.

Balance is important – of course, when you work from home, you can wear a ball gown if you wish. But that rather won’t be an appropriate look for the office. A much smarter choice would be a cute, retro dress – still pretty and for sure unique, but without going overboard.

Plus, it is always better to be overdressed than underdressed, right? 😉

Trends in Colorful Office Wear

As with every other branch of fashion, the colorful one also has its trends and statements. I don’t believe they change rapidly like with for example street fashion. These trends are accurate sometimes even for years. That’s why considering them is worth a while.

These trends were collected for you using Pinterest, Instagram, fashion articles from all over the internet, and my personal observations. Feel free to get inspired by those that you like, and leave those that don’t align with your style. Make your personal selection and take what you need:

1. Heels Add +10 to Boss Lady Vibes

Heels were, and always will be, very feminine and elegant footwear. And let not the word “elegant” discourage you, because girl, you can find as unique and playful heels as your creative mind can imagine.

Going monochrome is always safe – classic beige heels in colorful office wear are being replaced by more vibrant hues like red, purple, or green.

Looking for more adventure? Colorful, abstract pattern heels will be just the thing. Girly and professional, yet with a fun, modern twist. Believe me, in such shoes, you will be the star at your workplace.

You can choose whatever aligns with your style and the dress code of your company, but believe me, in our store, there is plenty to choose from. Head on to the Colorful Heels Collection.

2. Blazer and Elegant Pants in Two Different Colors

One-color suits are a classic choice, but this trend goes a step further. Imagine a bright pink blazer and mint pants – oh my, isn’t that a perfect color combo? You just feel like a brave businesswoman wearing that.

This solution is also a practical formula for creating a formal colorful capsule wardrobe. Get 5 suits in different colors and then mix and match them. I don’t know how many variations you can come up with, especially if you will add colorful blouses and heels to them, but I’m sure it will be a lot.

If you want to look even more fashionable, follow color blocking rule. So pick contrasting colors – the ones that will be opposite to each other on the color wheel. For example, blue and orange or purple or yellow. Believe me, wearing such combos will guarantee you the crown of Queen of Fashion.

3. Statement Tights

Statement tights are a recent trend, but I don’t know a person who wouldn’t fall in love with them. Such tights are simply pantyhose in vibrant hues or fun patterns. The time when transparent or beige tights very ruling is in the past – let’s welcome some fun into colorful office wear!

The good news is – statement tights are so powerful, they can carry the whole outfit. So even if you chose a neutral blazer and a skirt, and combine it with fun pattern pantyhose, you will still nail the look.

Here you can go crazy – because even if the color is strong or the pattern brave, they are still just tights – a statement accessory. Not to mention that legs look simply amazing when they are in color!

4. Loafers>Ballerina Flats

Don’t get me wrong – I love ballerina flats. They are so comfortable and sweet – and you can find them in varieties of colors and patterns.

But what I keep on noticing more and more often is that loafers are in their best era. They are even more comfortable than ballerina flats and have a more elegant spin. They are a perfect alternative to heels, in case you don’t like to wear high shoes.

Loafers can be classy, or more playful – guess which option is more common in colorful office wear? 😉

From vibrant neons to cute abstract patterns, investing in at least one pair of loafers is investing in your career. So step into style with our Colorful Loafers Collection.

Celebrate Yourself with Colorful Office Wear!

As I’ve said before – dopamine dressing, even at the workplace, should be fun! It’s a celebration of colors and joy, and girl, use it abundantly. Because the era of boring secretary outfits is gone – now it’s time to shine.

I encourage you to go through your work clothes and get rid of those that don’t bring you joy anymore. Sell, donate, or transform them into something better if you have a sewing machine or some thread and a needle. DIY fashion projects can be fun too!

Working in a cute outfit feels so much better than working in a sad one. So create good vibes through colors. And remember – work hard, dress bright!

Might the colorful force be with you,
