6 cool office outfits for when it’s freezing AF outside

What’s worse than going back to work after one-too-many weekend mulled wines on a Monday morning? Doing so in 20 below.

It’s a winter morning we all know too well. Waking up in the pitch black, heading to the subway in the pitch black, and finally arriving at the office with only a sliver of the sun appearing over the horizon.

For many of us, winter temperatures are inevitable. But that doesn’t mean you have to live out your days in long Johns and a Canada Goose jacket. Luckily for you, we love to dress up, even when are eyelashes are freezing over. Here are six cold-weather outfits ready for the office (and the remainder of that after-work mulled wine…).

No.5 Playful Faux Fur

We’re obsessed with Eva Chen’s pink faux fur! The Instagram fashion director reminds us that just because the skies are getting darker doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to follow suit. Pair your own faux fur with a qualiry pair of denim and leather loafers.

No.6 Tulle, in winter? You don't say...

And for the dramatic among us (who, me?), why not throw together a casual tulle & leather outfit? Stay with me here: pair leather leggings with a feminine maxi, top it off with a leather jacket and pair of boots and while you might not have an outfit ready for the alps, for a night in the city? Why not.
