How to Wear a Cropped Sweater to Work
There are many ways to wear a cropped sweater to work; they all boil down to not showing your navel. You will look official when you style it right.
#1. Cropped Sweater With High-Waisted Pants
This is my favorite cropped sweater outfit to wear to the office. You can wear loose or skinny pants and still look amazing.
The beauty of cropped sweaters is that they are baggy and give a smart casual look. You will look sophisticated and amazing in the outfit.
The pants do not need to be super high-waisted, just high enough to hide your navel.
You can pair this look with pumps or some flat shoes.
#2. Cropped Sweater and Pencil Skirt
Pencil skirts always scream office vibes. They give you a professional look that makes it look like you always know what you are doing, even on days when you have no clue.
Because pencil skirts are tight-fitting, they naturally balance the bagginess of the cropped sweater. The beauty of this outfit is that you can go for plain skirts or wear skirts with patterns and floral designs.
#3. Cropped Sweater and a Blazer
If you still feel uncomfortable just wearing a cropped sweater to the office, you can drape over a blazer.
Wearing a blazer is one way to instantly look smart for the office. To complete this look grab a chic official tote and some pumps, and there you go.
