Every woman wants to exude a certain energy at work — you know, the one that says, “I’m here to get things done, and I do it effortlessly.” It’s the office siren! But what exactly does that mean?
What is an office siren?
If your “that girl” aunt had a more confident, edgier cousin, she’d be an office siren. Inspired by the sharp, polished aesthetics of early 2000s and 2010s workplace fashion — think The Devil Wears Prada, Scandal, or Suits — the office siren is sleek, chic, and a little bit subtly sexy. But let’s be real, it’s TikTok’s obsession with Gisele Bündchen’s classic eyewear that’s really making everyone want to channel their inner power boss.
An office siren owns the room when she walks in. She sips her iced coffee (or matcha) like it’s a power move, and she never apologizes for being ambitious or put-together. In short, she is the ultimate office baddie!
How you can dress to impress without getting fired?
Don’t worry — this look is all about dressing to impress without getting fired. You can pull off Miranda Priestly vibes while still sticking to your company’s dress code. Here are the wardrobe staples you need:
- Fitted blazer
- Button-down shirt
- Pencil skirt or trousers
- Heels or pointed-toe flats
- Sheer tights (chef’s kiss!)
- Accessories like gold hoops, leather belt, a structured bag or a chunky watch
The Glasses That Made Office Siren Viral
All thanks to Giselle Bunchen’s glasses on the Devil Wears Prada, the office siren trend is going off the roof, especially on Tiktok. The top choices are sleek and structured glasses. In short, sexy.
What glasses did Gisele Bündchen wear in Devil Wears Prada?
Gisele, playing one of the snarky Runway editors in the film, wore sleek, rectangular eyeglasses — often referred to as Bayonetta glasses. These glasses have a strong, arched cat-eye shape with a thick acetate frame. They give a slight lift at the outer corners, adding a touch of flirty, fierce energy that’s perfect for any office siren.
These glasses tend to be expensive. However, if you’re on a budget, Classic Specs’ Quentin in Carbon Black is the way to go. Yes, the frames are thicker but they still capture the same sharpness and sophisticated vibe but more wearable and modern.
Top Picks for Office Siren Glasses
Classic black cat-eye frames
These glasses are a go-to for a reason. It gives “don’t mess with me” but make it fashion. The lifted corners frame the face which makes it flattering. The deep black color adds a layer of mystery and sharpness.
Pro Tip: Keep it simple with a red lip, a slick bun, and a fitted blazer — that’s all you need with these frames to look chic but deadly.
Thin Rectangular Frames
Yes, thin metal frames don’t scream for attention, but that’s the point.
Thin Wireframe Rectangular Glasses are for someone who already has attention. Example, when Kendall Roy from Succession was in his plotting era or Miranda Priestly when she’s bothered by all the chaos around her. It’s giving that energy.
Pro Tip: Pair these frames with a sharp middle part, muted tones, and a sleek turtleneck for that quiet power look — no need to shout when your glasses do all the talking.
Tortoise Frames
These frames offer a major vintage luxury vibe. The tortoise pattern add warmth and depth, making them perfect for adding contrast to minimalist outfits. They’re great for looking expensive without trying too hard.
Pro Tip: Add gold accessories like hoops or a chunky watch to elevate the vintage, timeless vibe. These glasses work best when paired with sophisticated pieces that don’t shout for attention, but still exude class.
