Calling all trendsetting professionals! The Office Siren aesthetic, also known as Corp Core or Office Core, is the latest trend to take over social media and the fashion world. Corporate chic is the new look everyone is going for and we are totally here for it. Have you joined in with this trend yet? You may have already seen the Office Siren Glass Filter on TikTok or heard about this eye-catching aesthetic elsewhere. But if not, we will get you up to speed on how best to pull off this latest look. Let the world know you mean business with stylish glasses that embody the fierce energy of the Office Siren aesthetic.
What exactly is the Office Siren trend?
Described all over the web as ‘business casual for hot girls’, the Office Siren trend gives old-school professional attire for women a stylish and empowering makeover that is bold yet functional and flattering. Think: crisp button-down shirts, boxy blazers, fitted pencil skirts, stylish two-pieces and cute kitten heels. Not forgetting, of course, a pair of chic Bayonetta glasses to finish the look. The Office Siren trend is about being sassy, sophisticated and confident. It is an upgraded version of the so-called ‘sexy secretary’ look of the past, providing a sense of power and identity for women through the clothes they choose to wear.
Fuelled by the recent return of Y2K trends, the Office Siren aesthetic is a new term for a style that is returning on the fashion scene. In fact, it is actually inspired by fashion of the 1990s and early 2000s. You only have to watch movies like Charlie’s Angels, 13 Going on 30 and The Devil Wears Prada to get an idea of what we mean by this chic, corporate look.
Who started the Office Siren trend?
Our favourite ‘It Girl’ Bella Hadid has certainly led the way when it comes to setting this trend. She has a real affinity for Y2K trends and loves to modernise them. Other famous celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Natalie Portman have also rocked this gorgeous look. The Office Siren aesthetic is Gen Z’s reimagining of elegant 2000s office wear. But it’s not just about the 9-to-5, instead it is an aesthetic that gives off a fashionable and powerful vibe no matter the time of day or occasion.
Where to buy Office Siren glasses?
Most of us rely on our eyewear for practical daily use but glasses also make a bold statement about our style. If you want to boss the Office Siren aesthetic, you will need the perfect pair of glasses to complete your wardrobe. We have plenty of shapes and styles for you to browse online that will elevate your professional wardrobe. Office Siren glasses are all about sleek, understated style.
Go for subtle pillow shapes, rectangular frames, slim ovals, traditional tortoiseshell prints and rimless or semi-rimless styles. A pair of elegant cat-eye glasses can also add a polished finish to your look with just a little touch of playfulness.
Top tip: You can improve your Office Siren glasses by adding blue-violet light lenses. They are ideal if you spend most of your day working on digital screens as they prioritise visual comfort for the wearer. These reliable scratch-resistant lenses are designed to block blue-violet light. They are also anti-reflective, minimising annoying glare and reflections.
Sleek and understated style
Rectangle-shaped glasses are an integral part of the Office Siren aesthetic. Achieve a trendsetting look that won’t go unnoticed. Show off your confidence at the office or give your everyday wardrobe a fierce and fresh edge. Slimline rectangular silhouettes are an absolute must-have accessory! If you are looking for Office Siren glasses for round faces, this is the style to go for. The good news as well is that rectangular frames are very versatile and will suit most face shapes. The frame we have chosen is from our fashionable Aspire range. Made of glossy metal, this design is subtle but comes in a bright colour which gives it a playful, feminine edge.
Beautiful bookish charm
If you have angular features and therefore suit rounder shapes, subtle oval glasses are an excellent choice for your corporate look. This classic retro shape is a real favourite among fashionistas. Commonly referred to as ‘Librarian-core glasses’, they have a natural intellectual charm and vintage feel. The styles which are currently popular often also have a modern aesthetic to bring them bang up to trend, much like the elegant frame we have selected from high-end designer brand kate spade new york.
Bringing back the Bayonetta trend
If you really want to slay your Office Siren aesthetic, Bayonetta glasses are the style to go for. Fondly named after a Japanese video game character who wore ultra-slim glasses, this style was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s among celebrities like Megan Fox. Today, trendsetters like Bella Hadid are reigniting our love of this trend once again. Similar in many ways to the classic rectangular and oval shapes that have become so popular, Bayonetta glasses tend to have a very refined look with just a hint of creative flair. Most commonly made of chunky acetate, they make just enough of a statement without overpowering your overall look, just like the frame we have chosen from our own exclusive collection.
Dress to impress with functional fashion
Pillow glasses have a contemporary look and feel. They are smart and stylish in design, perfect for achieving a sharp, intellectual look. Shaped like a pillow, this style of glasses is the perfect balance between round and angular. They are ideal for people with triangular and heart-shaped features as they tend to be wider at the bottom, helping to distract from a broad forehead and small chin. These refined Ray-Ban® glasses are perfect for creating a confident look.
Subtle style that puts you on the podium
Rimless glasses have a minimalistic style that complements the corporate chic aesthetic nicely. They are sophisticated and stylish, plus they do not overcrowd your face, allowing your best features plenty of time to shine! American singer and songwriter Billie Eilish certainly knows how to pull off a pair of rimless glasses! The frame we have chosen from our rimless Finelight range is subtle in design with just a touch of distinctive character. The temples have a unique curved detail which gives the frame a stand-out edge.
Confident and classy allure
Inject some fun and personality into your formal wear with a pair of elegant cat-eye glasses. This charming style first became popular among movie icons like Marilyn Monroe and was at its prime in the 1950s. It continues to be a stylish and alluring classic and is a strong symbol of female empowerment. Stick to smaller and subtler styles with a pop of colour to brighten up your wardrobe, like this example from Ted Baker.
Are there Office Siren glasses for men?
Of course, male Office Siren glasses exist too! Men can just as easily recreate the classic Corp Core aesthetic. The same rule applies to men when it comes to what shapes to go for, except for cat-eye glasses. In place of this sassy feminine style, we recommend a retro phantos frame. This classic shape has just as much personality as the charming cat-eye with a sleek circular silhouette and a prominent hinge design.
