Welcome to our first-ever Office Series! At the OOTD office, the hallway is our runway and style is how we introduce ourselves. Each week, we’ll be highlighting our favorite looks to give you a peek into our closets and some outfit inspiration.
This is Nic’s favorite uniform to throw on the morning after a few too many martinis. Her formula is simple: slouchy denim plus an oversized blazer and a tall boot equals a chic look with minimal effort that’s comfy enough for the day ahead. A giant pair of sunglasses are an everyday non-negotiable for her, like this specific vintage Chloé pair she found at Leisure Center in the LES. Since she’s heading to a Madewell event tonight, she’s wearing her favorite denim from their collab with Dakota Fanning paired with a fitted Calvin Klein tee and a Free People blazer accented by her grandmother’s vintage pins. Rarely caught in a flat shoe, these Marc Fisher fold-over boots have become her go-to for comfort and height. She usually gravitates toward a large bag—even if its only purpose is to carry a wallet and 15 lip products—and this vintage Marc Jacobs find is from her lifelong favorite thrift store in Austin, TX.
Ava is a Creative Editor at OOTD. She moved to New York City at 18 to pursue a career in fashion and now covers your favorite fashion figures, events, and trends.
My style inspiration is anything 2000s. While I opt for all-black baggy looks in the winter, I am clearly ready for summer and have been gravitating toward fun patterns, ballet flats, and as much color as possible. My style is very dependent on my mood, and I like to center my outfit around one hero piece to build the vibe. Today, that’s my new favorite bloomers from ASOS. I styled them with a top I bought from my friend Eden at her closet sale, ballet flats found on Depop, and a Vivienne Westwood bag. To finish it off, I’ve stacked on all my favorite jewelry thrifted from cities all over the world.
A lot of Jamie’s fashion inspiration is taken from the '90s, and you can definitely see that "off-duty model" energy in her day-to-day looks. She always has a browser open to The RealReal, and her finds always remind me of a modern-day CBK. To tackle a full day of event planning, Jamie is wearing a sleek Staud blazer paired with Isabel Marant capris. She finished the look with Schutz kitten heels and a classic Miu Miu bag that is classy, chic, and very '90s.
Nicole was born and raised in Croatia, so her style is naturally influenced by that coastal European style. This season, she is fully embracing a 'Pucci summer,' leaning into bright prints and voluminous silhouettes while she spends her day connecting with our fashion community. Today, she’s wearing a vibrant Pucci scarf-top paired with a white Elie Tahari maxi skirt and strappy Neous heels. It’s the perfect breezy uniform for a busy day of outreach—a look that feels like a European getaway right in the middle of the city.
That’s a wrap on our very first Office Edit! We’re firm believers that your work uniform should be as creative as the work you're doing, and we can't wait to show you what else we have in our closets. Check back every week to see what the OOTD office is wearing!
