It is post Labor Day weekend, and the summer months are officially drawing to a close. Fall is upon us and with the new season comes a few of our favorite things; colorful leaves, pumpkin spice, and FASHION WEEK! Fall is truly a time for change, so why not start at home with a few changes in your closet?

If you’re like most of us and you won’t be in attendance for New York, London, Milan, or Paris’ Fashion Weeks, do not worry.  MAU is here to bring you a month’s worth of work place fashion faux pas, style guides, and much more! Join us as we take you on a virtual cat-walk the entire month of September. Let’s get this fashion-show on the road with four ways to incorporate your everyday clothes in your work wardrobe!

The start of a new season doesn’t mean you have to update your entire closet. There are ways to incorporate the pieces you wear every day and still manage to be “work-ready.” Take a look at these awesome style tips and see if they would work at your workplace!

1. Leather Jackets

Gone are the days of leather jackets only being worn by bikers and rock stars. A leather jacket is a timeless piece worn by many these days. Yes, a leather jacket is always a great option for a weekend/casual look, but it can also be worn in the office. Pairing your leather jacket with a white button down shirt or a pencil skirt can take an ordinarily regular work outfit and give you an instant edge.

2. T-Shirts

I know what you’re thinking, “There’s no way I could wear a t-shirt at work!” While this look may not work for every work setting, it is a nice change of pace to the standard business casual office wear. Try pairing a simple t-shirt with a blazer for a look that says casual and chic. If you’re more daring, or your workplace is more flexible, try this look with a graphic tee!

3. Denim
