Let's be real: Coming into the office is a little bit of a drag. There's usually a long commute, a giant work bag you're schlepping, and the constant thought every weekday morning of "What am I going to wear?" Well, sometimes the easiest answer is to simply lean into the whole corporate look. I'm talking blazers, pencil skirts, pinstripes, heels, and even eyeglasses. The office siren trend, which started on TikTok naturally, is booming and what better way to reclaim your power than to show up looking like THE boss. Think Gisele Bündchen's character in The Devil Wears Prada with her tiny bayonetta frames, pulled back hair, black top, and hard-to-miss jewelry.
Some staples you'll need are a button-up, bold earrings, an oversized blazer, a tie, and heels. Blue-light or your actual prescription glasses don't hurt either. The accessories will really seal the deal. Here, I rounded up 11 office siren outfits to go on your corporate moodboard and get some styling ideas going. There are actually so many ways you can wear these pieces to work—all while meeting the office dress code, of course. And if you're dreading dressing up in the cold, these fleece-lined TikTok tights are a great way to layer.
The next time you have an important meeting, turn to these looks to give you confidence in the conference or just show everyone up on a casual Friday. The world is your oyster! Keep scrolling for all the office siren vibes, and shop similar items below.
With a leather blazer
A leather blazer can really take your office ensemble to a whole new level—just take a look at Bella Hadid. You can scrunch up the sleeves to show off even more of your button-up underneath, and then throw on your glasses with a slicked back bun to tie it all together.
