BUSINESS FORMAL WINTER OUTFITS

There is no better feeling than looking smart and capable of changing the world. As we forge ahead with our work plan and work tasks, it is time for a new brilliant business formal winter outfit to get you in the mood.

Here are our favourite business formal winter work outfits 2025.

1 LONG BLACK COAT ON A BLACK SUIT AND ANKLE BOOTS WITH A HEADBAND

Maximise the winter business formal code with a fashionable black pantsuit and a headband. You will never have a dull moment in black skinny tailored pants and a jacquard blazer if you style them with a headband that matches the silk shirt. This business formal winter outfit will go that extra mile.

Layer on with a long black coat – look for one with dropped shoulders that will be fashionable for winter 2025/26. I bought myself the one from LouLou Studio that you will love so much. It’s so soft and warm. Made of of 90% wool and 10% cashmere and double faced, with extra long sleeves, it’s a must buy for anyone who is looking for a quality warm coat.

2 LONG BLACK COAT WITH GREY PANTSUIT AND BLACK BOOTS

As dawn casts its first light over the towering spires of Manhattan, you stand before the mirror in your dressing room, ready to put on this business formal winter outfit that seamlessly blends winter 2025 fashion trends with the practicality demanded by the winter chill. Today, you choose to command attention in an oversized grey pantsuit, exuding an air of confident nonchalance.

First, you slip into the azure embrace of a silk shirt. Taking the two abbreviated ends of the blue silk bow tie and skillfully tying a simple knot. Your fingers move deftly, creating a neat and deliberate knot.

Slipping into the wide-leg grey pants. Pov, the tailored silhouette hints at both comfort and professionalism. The fabric drapes effortlessly, allowing you to move with purpose. 

As you prepare to face the city’s wintry embrace, you grab your new black knee-high boots. Sitting on the plush soft pink bench, you unzip the boots, revealing their sleek interior. The morning light filters through the window, dropping a gentle glow on the rich black leather.

With deliberate movements, you slide your feet into the boots, feeling the snug embrace as they ascend, accentuating the length of your legs. The zippers close smoothly. A bliss! You stand up and go and grab the oversized grey blazer (btw mine is from Sandro Paris – but you might prefer the one from the Row with three buttons, more).

Sandro Paris or the Row, let your fingers graze the fabric as you retrieve it from its hanger. Put it on and fasten the button(s) before you put on your new LouLou Studio Borneo wool and cashmere coat.

As you slip into the luxurious cocoon of the long black LouLou Studio Borneo coat (btw I bought it at 24s, but you might need to check elsewhere – Farfetch, Luisaviaroma, SSENSE – as it keeps selling out) the black fabric cocoons you.

Already late, you quickly grab your new handbag and gloves and run out of your apartment.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifts from a nearby cafe, intertwining with the scent of winter air.

3 WOOL TRENCH WINTER COAT ON NAVY DOUBLE-BREASTED BLAZER AND SLIM-LEG PANTS WITH BOOTIES

An instant pick-me-up, a beautiful double-breasted jacket is the one item that really pulls an outfit together.

STYLISH BUSINESS SMART WINTER WORK OUTFITS 2025

7 LONG WOOL COAT ON RED SILK BLOUSE WITH GREY WIDE-LEG PANTS AND KNEE HIGH BOOTS

Now, I think it’s time we go back to the plot. Where did we leave? Oh, yes, you just stepped out of the door.

So you close the door or the doorman closes them for you (pov you live in a historic building in Manhattan so this is an option, too) and step on the icy sidewalk.

You are wearing the long black cashmere wool coat so you are not cold. In fact, you wear it open. And your red ruffled silk blouse exudes a warmth that belies the winter chill. The vibrant splash of color looks so chic amidst the monochrome cityscape. The delicate ruffles, cascading like petals are giving fashionable and ladylike.

Your new wool pants, give you an insulating shield against the winter’s harsh cold. They are giving cocooned tranquility, allowing you to approach the day with a sense of ease and composure, even amidst the city’s wintery grip.

The black knee-high boots you wear under the pants add a rhythmic cadence to your stride. The sound of your soles striking the ice-covered ground echoes the steady beat of your heart as you approach the office.

Why are you so nervous today? Most likely because of the meeting you have at ten o’clock.

Just before you enter the building, you find yourself drawn to a cozy café. You settle into a corner booth, and before you know, you are drinking matcha latte.

As you sip your steaming green broth, you gaze out the window, watching the snowflakes dance against the backdrop of the city lights. The sight fills you with a sense of serenity, before you finally enter your office.

10 DEGREE WEATHER WORK OUTFIT

That’s 10 degree weather outfit in F, not C.

8 PINK PEACOAT ON NAVY SINGLE-BREASTED BLAZER AND A SILK BLOUSE WITH STRAIGHT BLACK PANTS AND BOOTIES

Pov, we are back to business formal winter attire to follow the plot. Now this should be fun. Should we add a twist to the story, or are you ok with something less dramatic? 

No, wait I have it. You are actually meeting your potential investor. You are an entrepreneur – or maybe an artist. Anyway, there are more casual everyday winter work outfits below.

Now, let’s focus on this plot. So, you are at the cafeteria. You are sitting by the window, warming your hands around the steaming matcha latte, watching snowflakes drift lazily past the frosted glass. The matcha latte is not really good. And you are trying not to wince at the grainy texture of your matcha latte. The unmixed powder settles heavily on your tongue, a far cry from the silky smoothness you’d hoped for.

You stir it again with your spoon, watching the powder reluctantly swirl but never quite dissolve, much like the nervous energy in your stomach that refuses to settle.

The radiator beneath the window hums steadily, but its warmth feels at odds with the disappointing drink before you. Your reflection in the window is ghostlike, and you find yourself wishing you’d chosen a different cafe for this pivotal meeting.

Still, you like how this cafeteria buzzes with morning energy: the whisper of newspapers being turned, the gentle clink of spoons against ceramic, conversations creating a soft cocoon of white noise.

Each time the door opens, a gust of biting January air swirls in, carrying the sharp scent of snow and urban winter. You push the subpar latte aside slightly, choosing instead to focus on the steady rhythm of your breathing, centering yourself before the meeting. Oh, look your new investor came. And he is not alone. The more the merrier, right?

2025 WINTER OFFICE OUTFITS WITH SKIRTS

Yes, you can wear mini skirts for work in winter. Winter is the best time to wear mini skirts for the office. I know thissounds a bit confusing since you usually feel cold when wearing a mini skirt. Still, winter is when you can wear mini skirts with boots and thicker tights that cover the skin and make the mini skirts more work appropriate.

Furthermore, winter is the season when you can wear mini skirts made of tweed, which is, as you know, warm.

Since I have already shown you many stylish winter work outfits with mini skirts already, let me show you a winter work outfit with a midi skirt that I wear on repeat this winter.

21 CARDIGAN SWEATER WITH DENIM SKIRT AND KNEE HIGH BOOTS

Stepping through the revolving glass doors of Westfield World Trade Center in deep winter, a comforting wave of warmth hits you. It emanates not only from the temperature-controlled interior but also from the appreciative glimpses of passersby. Dressed in the Sézane red Gaspard cardigan sweater – a delightful Tuesday choice worn as a cardigan today – its deep hue catches the ambient light, making you feel super confident. 

Your blue denim column skirt (it is perfect for casual dress code), looks chic and fashionable. The light blue shade harmonizes with the bold red cardigan, creating a fashion-forward contrast.

Completing this fit are the black knee-high boots, an essential statement piece in their sleek design and knee-high length. Whether it’s the pair showcased in the video below or your beloved alternative, both options contribute to the cohesive allure of your look.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, black knee high boots stand as sentinels against the winter chill, ensuring you remain warm while exuding an unmistakable sense of urban chic.

23 LONG BLACK COAT ON A MINI TWEED SKIRT WITH MATCHING TIGHTS AND PUMPS

Short and sweet, a mini tweed skirt or a skirt in blue bouclé paired with matching tights hits the perfect balance between vintage charm and contemporary spirit. Pair with pumps to dazzle at the office. Do it for the plot.

While the traditional office dress code often steers clear of mini skirts, the incorporation of tweed adds a touch of sophistication that elevates the look and make it more office-appropriate.

The textured richness of tweed lends refinement to the mini silhouette, transforming it from a casual choice to a more suitable option for the workplace.

The inherent structure of tweed (it has woven intricacies), imparts a classic touch that aligns seamlessly with a professional environment. 

Opting for blue hues ensures that the mini tweed skirt remains tasteful and office-appropriate.

And when paired with matching thick tights, this outfit not only enhances warmth during the colder months. What is more, it creates a cohesive and polished look. The tights connect skirt to footwear, offering a streamlined aesthetic that contributes to the overall sophistication of the outfit.
