Not fond of the typical OL look? Try the office siren trend.
The fashion girlies on TikTok (and everywhere else) are at it again. Every few months, there’s a new ‘aesthetic’ that takes off. The trend du jour? The office siren style, which looks like an extension (or reiteration) of the ‘corporate baddie’ aesthetic. Whatever you call it, we’re turning to this trend to play up office wear like Gisele Bündchen in The Devil Wears Prada.
Disclaimer: this look isn’t actually for the corporate office; we reckon it’s better dressed for hitting the streets or those in a more creative environment.

7 fashion essentials for the office siren aesthetic
1. Shirts, collared and buttoned
Two words: collared shirts. Steal your boyfriend’s or raid the shirt section of your nearest Zara or Mango to get your hands on one, stat. This wardrobe staple is the perfect base to begin building any office siren outfit.
2. Pen your notes in pencil skirts
Form-fitting wear is the name of the game. As any corporate girlie will know, pencil skirts, fitted dresses and tailored pants are standard attire for the typical office. Good news for the working ladies: these pieces are now the new “It Girl” uniform.
3. Blaze(r) your way to the office
Wanna dress it up more? A stylish blazer is your friend. The classic black blazer or blazer dress works a treat. Plaid and houndstooth look amazing, as does tweed if you’re going for a Chanel-inspired look. Ask us and we’ll tell you about the matching blazer and mini skirt set from Helsa that we’re currently crushing on.
4. Making frames cool again
Yes, we’re talking spectacles. The accessory we once thought looked too bookish is now hitting the streets as part of this trend. Opt for rectangular Bayonetta-inspired frames (who remembers librarian-core?) for best results. And don’t forget the office siren makeup to complete your look.
5. Socks and tights are on your side
If you’re wearing socks or boots, make them knee-high. Alternatively, go for the classic see-through tights. Throw on a button-down shirt or blazer, slick your hair back into a low bun, add specs, and voila! Office siren look, complete.
6. Jewellery, and make it chunky
The devil’s in the details and they’re chunky for this trend. Don’t head out looking too minimal – the corporate baddie needs to be decked out in fashionable statements. Think chunky ear candy like the iconic Bottega Veneta drop earrings, or statement hoops and necklaces like the ones from Monica Vinader.
7. Throw it back to slingbacks
Say yes to slingback pumps that spell comfy yet stylish chic. Practical enough for the boardroom, but flirty enough to paint the town red after hours, they’re the go-to for any office siren who’s out about town. From Christian Louboutin to Charles & Keith, there’s a slingback option for any budget.
We all have to hustle to secure that bag (well, most of us, anyway), so why not be stylish while you’re at it? A fashionable outfit makes you 100% more productive, we say.
