Stylish Performance Workwear 3 Ways

Workwear – difficult to often find pieces that are comfortable, packable or hold up to sweat! But look no further. Introducing Cotidié, Houston-based clothing company creating garments made to move with you, wherever you go! The brand graciously sent along a few pieces so I could style and share how I wear the stylish performance workwear.

What I love about these Cotidié pieces are how they’re stylish, yet functional. I’ve yet to really see any performance-type clothing on the market for women. My hubby has a few pairs of performance-fabric khakis and shirts that he wears to work on a regular basis, but it seems for women it’s mostly in the athlesiure realm of things. Well Cotidié is changing the game with their line of great pieces, including tons of separates that can be mixed and matched in a variety of ways.

Outfit 1: Pleated top c/o // Pants // Heels // // Tote (Gently-used option )

When I saw the Ada pleated top, I knew I had to have it. While I work from home, I do have a few occasions where I need to dress up for meetings or functions. Since Houston won’t be cooling off anytime soon, this top will wear perfectly – it’s breathable and if I sweat in the material, there’s no sweat stains to be seen!

The pleated back detail is such a fun, unexpected touch – buttoned-up in the from and party in the back! I can confirm I’ve already worn this top with jeans for date night, too.

Outfit 2: Scarf (sold out, different ) // Shift dress c/o // Block heel sandals (on sale, under $57!) // Tote (Gently-used option ) // Earrings // Beaded bracelets

When I used to work in an office, shift dresses were my go-to workwear ensemble. They’re extremely flattering on a bevy of body types and appropriate for a number of work-related occasions. It’s easy to gravitate towards neutrals for the workday, but what about this fun teal color? As we know, I love a great pop of color!

Even though it’s hot outside, it’s usually freezing inside, so naturally I’ve paired a scarf with the look. Not only is it a fun and colorful accessory, but it can double as a wrap when it gets cold in your cubicle!

Outfit 3: Sleeveless top c/o (I sized up!) // Skirt c/o // D’orsay heels // Sunglassess // Hairbow // Watch // Link bracelet

Cotidié’s stylish performance workwear is super easy to wear separately or pair together. Building a strong workwear wardrobe is largely dependent on great basics that can be worn a variety of ways. Case in point, this button-down sleeveless top and elastic waist circle skirt, both are basics that can be worn together or separate. I did size up in the top, as I usually need a bit more chest room in button-down tops.

Plus, this is one of those outfit combinations you can trust. Wake up late, thanks to that snooze button? Know that this outfit will work and you won’t run late, either!

Have I convinced you that you need Cotidié in your life? Lucky for you, the brand has graciously offered 10% off for Adored by Alex readers, simply use code: ADORED10 at checkout! But hurry, the code expires on October 1st.
