19 Pieces of Cute, Comfy Workwear to Ease You Back Into Office Life

We may have gotten used to wearing button-down shirts over cozy cashmere sweatpants during this past year of working from home, but more and more offices are starting to welcome folks back to their desks. Consequently, searches for office attire—like work dresses, blazers and trousers—are on the rise once more. But if you ask us, we’re not quite ready to give up our comfy WFH wardrobe staples just yet. Rather than campaign our HR departments to make sweatpants acceptable office attire, we’re on the hunt for workwear that’s both professional and comfortable to help us ease back into the daily practice of dressing up for work. Here, 19 cute, comfy pieces we plan to add to cart ASAP.
