Let's face it: we spend most of our waking hours at work. And, what makes going to work more fun? Doing it in style, obviously! Popping on the perfect work shirt can make any given Monday a lot more fun. We've hunted down the latest (and greatest) styles around, so you can take ant old drab Tuesday and turn it up a notch! Button-downs are definitely not the only style that suits the work place. We're here to help you break the mold, and adapt trends in an appropriate (and comfortable) way for the office! If you're on the hunt for new ways to do work wear, you definitely need to check these styles out before you ramp up your wardrobe!

Let's kick off this new, updated version of work shirt suggestions with a top made of fabric you might not have guessed belonged in the workplace: silk! Gap's 'Gathered-Neck Top' is a fun, funky option for those of you who want to break out of the Oxford shirt box, and throw on a top that feels good (literally!) This fall weather choice boasts a cool (and work-appropriate) high neck, gathered top, accented with softening flutter short sleeves for a sweet, yet totally comfortable work look. Both the silk fabric and flutter sleeves keep you feeling feminine and pretty at work without losing a professional feel.

Featuring princess seems throughout, you definitely don't have to worry about fit, either. And, as this top lands just past the hip, you can feel comfortable and cool pairing it with black skinny pants or dark wash denim jeans and your favorite pair of print flats! Pretty, fun, and sophisticated all in one; this is definitely not one of your everyday old work shirts!

Now, for those of who liked the comfy feel of Gap's top, but are on the hunt for something with a little funk, clu's 'Dolman Sleeve Top' is a seriously cool option for those of you who have to dress up daily, but want comfort and class. This black three-quarter-sleeve jersey tunic boasts metallic gold and tonal patchwork detail along the otherwise typical crew neck shape, for an interesting and funky aesthetic. Its banded paneled sleeves and fitted waist make for a seriously pretty silhouette, while its tone on tone stitching keeps things a little dressier. We also love the inlaid patchwork detailing along the center front and back. (Made of the same material and black hue, this touch adds a uniquely well-done fit.)

Its 100% cotton feel combines with its 70% silk, 30% lurex contrasting for a comfortable, yet classy feel. Pair this fabulous top with dark heather gray slacks, black pants, or dark denim on Friday's, and you'll be all set for a truly fashion forward day at the office. (Plus, with a top like this, you can easily transition to nighttime wear: throw on your favorite pair of sexy gold heels, and you'll be good to go!)

Now that we've looked into a couple new shape or fabric-driven options, it's time to check out a pretty print. Michael by Michael Kors' 'Three Quarter Sleeve Printed Top' is a fabulous choice for adding a colorful mini red geometric-inspired print into your everyday work wardrobe. This three-quarter-sleeve scoop neck top boasts pretty ruching and balloon sleeves that keep the top soft and pretty, while its shape holds down a professional feel. Its blouson hem and relaxed fit also make this a seriously comfortable choice. Pair with black slacks and pointy toed black heels, and you'll be set for anything that comes your way during the day.
