Once upon a time, people actually had to wake up early enough before work to shower and squeeze into pants without an elasticized waistband. Getting dressed for the day meant putting on acceptable outside clothes on top and bottom. We know: crazy.

You'd be forgiven for forgetting that there was a time when a blouse and full face of makeup paired with flannel pajama bottoms out of your webcam's view didn't cut it. But times are changing yet again, and more and more people are returning to the office for work. Instead of mourning the retirement of your tie-dye sweatsuit, take this as an opportunity for a closet makeover. You may find that you love having an excuse to express yourself through your style and putting together daring new outfits.

Flattering, stretchy pants that can be easily dressed up and breezy midi dresses in staple colors form the foundation of a stylish and versatile work wardrobe. Keep scrolling to check out some shoppable picks.
