Everyone knows the basics of office attire: nothing too short or low, avoid colors and prints that may be too distracting for the environment, and be mindful of the fabrics you choose to wear. The typical work outfit consists of items like button-ups, slacks, pencil skirts, heels and of course, the go-to that instantly adds an executive touch to any ensemble—the blazer.

Whether you wear it with the sleeves rolled up or unbuttoned, blazers are definitely an essential when shopping for work outfits. Suitable with skirts as well as jeans, this piece will flatter your silhouette when it’s fitted to your shoulders and adjusted to the proper sleeve length. Even the experts from Lyst are saying that tailored blazers and waistcoats are you best bet for your 9 to 5, but in case you were wondering if you had other options in terms of outerwear, the answer is yes.

While you can never go wrong with the classics, it’s possible to incorporate other jacket styles to add some extra flair into your office wardrobe. With evolving work environments, corporate attire is no longer limited to the conventional pantsuit.

Here’s what you can wear…

… a leather jacket
Anything made out of leather can be tough to pull of in the office, but the editors of Gurl prove that it’s possible to wear this jacket without the motorbike chick look, as you can pair it with a professional skirt and blouse to give your workwear a cool upgrade.

… a denim jacket
Jeans are traditionally reserved for Casual Fridays. However, much like sneakers, denim jackets have undergone a sophisticated makeover, deeming them stylish and appropriate enough to layer over separates and dresses.

… a kimono jacket
Celebrities, stylists, and fashionistas everywhere are obsessing over this modern-day Japanese cover up, wearing them on both casual and formal occasions, on the beach and at a cocktail party. Kimonos are also great for the workplace, matching them with a midi dress or tailored separates, finished with polished accessories, as suggested by The Zoe Report.
