Perhaps the only positive aspect of returning to the office is that you now have a new and very good excuse to refresh your wardrobe so that it is filled with everything you will need to achieve impeccable stylistic, as well as practical office looks.

As the weather still allows us to wear summer clothes, I would suggest starting your wardrobe refresh with shoes. The truth is that there are many stylish and practical shoe options that can match your professional appearance this fall:

1. Loafers: Comfortable and stylish, loafers are ideal for the office. You can choose classic black or brown loafers, or experiment with different materials like velvet or leather.

2. Ankle Boots: Ankle boots are perfect for fall and go well with skirts, dresses, and trousers. Choose a pair with a low or medium heel for comfort and style. 

3. Brogues or Oxfords: These classic, stylish shoes can add an androgynous touch to any outfit. You can wear them with suits or trousers, but they also pair well with more feminine clothing, such as dresses or skirts.

4. Ballet Flats: If you prefer something lower, the well-known ballet flats are a comfortable yet stylish choice. You can choose a pair in leather, suede, or even with subtle details like bows or metallic elements.

5. Block Heels: Shoes with thick heels (see pumps or even mary janes) offer height without sacrificing comfort, and they pair perfectly with everything from suits to dresses.

6. Mules: Mules are the most ideal shoes for this period. They combine comfort with elegance and can elevate even the simplest outfit stylistically.

7. Sneakers: If your office's dress code allows it, minimal sneakers are an extremely comfortable choice. Opt for neutral shades like white, black, or gray for a more professional appearance.
