Polished Office Essentials for the Cooler Months

Dressing for work can be a drag when the cold weather hits. A toasty coat is essential for staying cozy during your commute—and layers are always a smart idea—but chunky sweaters and heavy wool pants can feel weighty and overwhelming once you post up at your desk. So, we did the tough work for you: peruse our top edit of executive-status essentials from Banana Republic that will keep you covered in unpredictable climes yet polished enough for when you arrive at the corner office.

Pointelle Pullover Reg $148 Now $89

This cozy pullover is slightly slouchy—lightweight enough to layer while ensuring a non-restrictive fit for a day at your desk. The sleek pointelle-knit design adds a polished finish.

Pleated Midi Skirt $118

This feminine pleated skirt is the perfect foil to a soft cashmere sweater, wool tights, and a pair of glossy leather ankle boots. The longer length makes it especially suited to chillier temps, too.

Belted Wrap Coat $298

Spun from soft wool and stretch fibers, this luxe topper can do double duty as a cardigan in the office or as a coat in milder climes. We love knotting the belt for extra definition at the waistline.

Tweed Shift Dress $138

A little tweed shift dress is always apropos for the office. The textural woven fabric is ideal for cooler weather—just add tights and a wrap coat.
