20 Transitional Fall Workwear Outfits

It’s that time of year when fall colors are starting to pop up everywhere, but the heat is still kicking! As we move into back-to-school season, I’ve rounded up some workwear outfits that can be worn now and into fall.

If you are new here, I’m a former corporate recruiter who spent over 12 years in business suits. In the past few years, many workplaces have adopted a more casual dress code. I try to mix my love for a classic professional look with a more dressed-down vibe.

Also I LOVE heels, my husband is 6’4 so I’m just used to them. If you need some ideas for flats or more workwear accessories and shoes head HERE.

For reference I’m 5’5, size 12, 38DD. I list the sizes I’m wearing below each image and give my fit tips based on my previous experience with the brand and on the size guides provided.
