Alright, time to accept the hard facts: the holidays are over, it’s the new year, and you’ve got things to do (e.g. have the best year ever). Rolling into the office post-holiday celebration isn’t always the easiest task, but hey, we believe in you. Go for no-nonsense basics like slip-on loafers, breathable trousers, and a plush sweater. Then amp up this classic workwear ensemble with a playful beret and just the teeniest hint of gold in the form of drop earrings—and you’ve got yourself a total knockout look. Welcome back, champ.
