With the colder days officially upon us, it’s time to swap those office pieces you’ve been loving this fall for warm winter layers and knitwear.
However, we get that selecting your business attire isn’t always a walk in the park. You may find yourself trying to stay warm during your morning commute just to arrive at an office that is prone to cranking up the heat. So, what do you wear to account for both scenarios?
It’s easy: By curating a collection of layered office outfits that allow you to dress the professional part while keeping comfortable no matter the heating setting.
Here’s our selection of 6 office outfits to rent this winter.
What should your winter office outfits look like?
Despite the increasingly moody weather, choosing what to wear to the office during the colder months is actually pretty straightforward. All that matters is that you dress in enough layers to stay comfortable – whether you’re hopping on your bike to work or sitting behind your desk in a cozy office.
Opt for button-down shirts, long trousers and knit sweaters. Also, don’t be afraid to accessorize and experiment with different coats or pops of color to throw on over your favorite basics that you’ve been wearing time and time again.
6 business attire outfits to rent for the winter season
1. The long denim dress for ultimate effortlessness
Just because it’s colder out doesn’t mean you can’t make a dress work. Choosing longer silhouettes with thicker materials – such as denim – is a great way to keep you warm without having to compromise on your personal sense of style.
This season, layer the Koko dress by Guige with K&J’s reversible HOLLY kimono. Complement the look with the Bohochic Earrings Round by Cap’a di Carina and Captain Cork’s Odette Tobacco Cork tote bag for an ensemble that is professional yet far from boring.

2. One (or several) pops of color never hurt anyone
What’s one way to keep those winter blues at bay? It’s simple – by wearing color. Showing up to the office in bright, punchy layers is guaranteed to boost your mood.
Layer K&J’s salmon Monae knitted top under the Colette cardigan by Made by Vest, before throwing on Gigue’s Arte coat for an effortless look. Tie everything together with the Irène backpack.
3. Business casual meets chilly season
Of course, no business attire wardrobe is complete without the perfect blazer.
Guige’s Wok blazer layered over the Holiday blouse will give you the confidence to nail any upcoming presentation – and stay warm on your way there. Keep things casual with a pair of denim jeans and complete the look with your favorite spacious bag suited for the office. We recommend Jeanne by Klaar Devillé.

4. When in doubt go classic with a twist
If you’re ever in a pinch, or lacking inspiration, remember the number one rule of business attire: You can never go wrong with a white button-down shirt.
This season, choose one with a twist, such as the ODE shirt by Leonie Vlaar Slow Fashion. Pair it with JANUE’s reversible cape , the Nikki Flared Wide Leg Pants by Conscious Antwerp, and give it that little bit extra with the Ascot Star Cap by Cap’a di Carina.

5. Casual Friday? Vests are the way to go
Casual Fridays are the perfect opportunity to experiment with the pieces that are trending this fall & winter season. Out of all of the trends we’ve been seeing on the streets, we’re loving pops of colors and layering with vests.
Style the Helen vest by Wolvis with K&J’s Noor pink long sleeve, and Gaia pants by Mon Col Anvers. Complete the ensemble with the Bobbi Bucket Bag Midi for an outfit that checks both boxes – professional and trendy.
6. Work event? Try a new take on a suit
For a chic yet edgy look at your next work event, why not try the ODE | this used to be a suit by Leonie Vlaar Slow Fashion. Rent the set or individually and pair with the classic Babble Blouse by Sil, Plisse bag by KODA Amsterdam, and some Christina earrings by Or Service.
