Discover the Chic, Intellectual Style Taking Over Office Fashion in 2024
Forget the stereotype of the stern librarian with a tight bun. Office fashion is getting a refresh, and the new power player might surprise you: Librarian Chic. Think Miss Honey from Matilda, not Mrs Doubtfire. This aesthetic is sophisticated, effortlessly stylish, and yes, even a touch sexy.\
Bye-bye Bodycon, Hello Bookworm Beauty

Office attire has transformed in recent years. We had many fantastic memories, such as the GQ Kim Kardashian look, which we gagged for because we didn't know Cheetos could slay a look, much less a photoshoot. But Kim isn't the only one who brought it to the office. Even fashion icons like Bella Hadid have experimented with office wear, adding their twist. But trends evolve, and Librarian Chic offers a welcome change.
Princess Belle was a style icon
Librarian chic is about sleek elegance with a touch of intellectual appeal. Picture small rectangle tortoiseshell glasses (prescription optional, but highly encouraged for our fellow 20/19 vision survivors) perched on your nose, framed by a perfectly tousled mane or simple hair down with a classic headband. And the cherry on top? A steaming cup of chai tea in hand is effortless.
The key piece? A statement cardigan
The key piece in this look? A beautifully tailored cardigan—cashmere or a luxurious wool blend for that extra touch—draped over a crisp blouse or a fitted knit dress.
Librarian Chic: Versatility is Key

The beauty of Librarian Chic lies in its versatility. Swap the dress for tailored trousers, or layer on the rings and necklaces—a bit of bling never hurts anybody! Channel your inner magpie and unleash your accessory arsenal. Think delicate chains mixed with chunky bangles, or layer on colourful gemstone necklaces for a pop of personality. Don't be afraid to layer a statement necklace over your blouse for an instant upgrade. A bold pendant or a chunky collar necklace can take your outfit from polished to powerhouse in seconds. The key is to find pieces that reflect your unique style and make you feel confident.
So ditch the bodycon dresses and embrace the power of the perfectly curated bookshelf aesthetic. Librarian Chic is here to prove that intelligence and style can go hand-in-hand (and slay the office game).
