The Pantone Colors of 2021 are Ultimate Grey & Illuminating (Yellow) and they were chosen because they “express a message of positivity supported by fortitude.” Here’s a few ways to style these colors for the office.
Positivity and fortitude are definitely things we need to bring into 2021 right?
Not everyone has the ability to wear yellow to work – or at least the particular bold shade of yellow that ‘illuminating’ is. Here are a few ways to pull in yellow and grey to your work wardrobe!
Don’t forget you can always check out my color combo page (and my work OOTD posts) if you ever want to see how I incorporate other colors into my work wardrobe.
Grey & Yellow together
coat // top // pants // earrings // heels use code THEDOCKET for $40 off // bag
Yellow (non-rain) Coat
I love pairing yellow with deep rich colors – burgundy, navy, etc – and I knew with this coat I needed to tone down the yellow. This coat would be exchanged with a black blazer when I got to the office but for the commute it works!
coat // top // skirt // heels use code THEDOCKET for $40 off // earrings
Grey Basics
Grab a grey blazer and top with a headband for an easy way to put grey in your work wardrobe.
blazer // headband // tank // pants // heels use code THEDOCKET for $40 off// earrings // bag
Dressing in Yellow
I love this yellow dress, it needs a slip underneath, but I’ve pulled this out multiple times for the office.
dress // blazer // bag // heels
Yellow Jumper
Switch the black circle skirt with a grey one and you’re in all Pantone choices! This is also my casual work outfit for booties!
sweater // skirt // booties // tote
Grey and Gray
Add a grey blazer over a grey sweater and not only are you toasty warm but you’re so chic! You could also wear the yellow sweater from above instead!
blazer // sweater // white shirt // pants
Yellow and Burgundy
Here’s another example of pairing yellow with a rich color.

Simple in (Grey) Skirts
Pleated skirts are my jam – see here and here – and choosing a classic boatneck with the grey woolen skirt is a simple work look.

Black Grey & Yellow Black Grey & Yellow
Here’s another way to pair both grey and yellow together. This bow blouse is affordable and a nice twist on a classic (see other bow blouses here and here) for this year.
