We’ve all had office crushes, but what if you want to be the one who turns heads as you walk by, leaving secret admirers wishing for just a glance? There’s a TikTok trend for that!
If you’re as online as we are, you might have noticed the latest aesthetic sweeping through fashion circles. The office siren aesthetic draws inspiration from ‘90s and early 2000s styles, Bella Hadid, and classic rom-coms. As Gen Z, who missed out on Y2K corporate culture, starts entering the workforce—often in hybrid settings—they’re redefining office fashion far from the days of The Devil Wears Prada.
TikTokers are sharing tips on how to look stylish while remaining professional in today’s offices. Their inspirations? Gisele Bündchen’s character from the aforementioned film, contemporary Miu Miu designs, and Prada’s ‘90s collections. This style is sleek and feminine, featuring structured and tailored pieces in a refined, neutral palette.
The office siren aesthetic goes beyond appearance; it reflects how Gen Z is romanticizing life through fashion. It allows them to adopt a character and revamp the mundane office wardrobe. Gone are the days of dull corporate attire—now it’s all about outfits you’d feel confident in for after-work drinks.
Key staples of this look include semi-sheer fitted turtlenecks, pencil skirts, modest mini skirts, tops with tasteful cutouts, skinny glasses, tailored button-ups, tights, scarves, boot-cut jeans, and skinny-fit pants, all in those neutral shades. For footwear, forget flats and sneakers—opt for boots, kitten heels, or heeled Mary Janes. The focus is on timeless pieces that draw attention to the person wearing them, not just the outfit.
When it comes to accessories, she really enjoys experimenting. Her go-to bracelets are chunky bangles in wooden or silver tones. For earrings, she prefers either a bold pearl design or a classic silver pair. Her necklaces follow suit, featuring chic silver chokers, stackable long chains, or a simple silver charm necklace—she always keeps it understated, avoiding excessive pieces. She often completes her look with one or two coordinating rings.
In line with this style, an office siren’s makeup is subtle and classic, featuring one standout element to complete the look.
