For example, this is what LibreOffice Calc looks like right after installation:
Very Windows 95 looking.
Ho can I make it look more in line with the design of elementary OS?

Thanks guys, your answers really helped me sort out my tool bar issues with LibreOffice 5. Btw when I had the tango style activated, I noticed my page borders were not complete...anyone else experienced this? I'm currently using the breeze style until this issue is rectified. – user4707 Apr 9 '16 at 9:39
You’re missing the libreoffice-gtk3 package for integration with your GTK+ theme.

3This was it. After doing
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gtknow it looks much nicer. Thanks! – Gabriel Aug 6 '15 at 13:50 -
7Can't this package come with default installation? So newbie users who come to elementary OS specially for the design of it, don't feel any negative feelings when they see the situation at the above. – mtilhan Sep 28 '15 at 15:41

Ohh yeah, after installing the GTK package, the look and feel are better. Thank you :) – valkirilov Oct 2 '17 at 9:03
There are some style packages available:
libreoffice-style-crystal
libreoffice-style-galaxy
libreoffice-style-hicontrast
libreoffice-style-human
libreoffice-style-oxygen
libreoffice-style-sifr
libreoffice-style-tango
and probably some more...
I like and use the "breeze-style":
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I installed LibreOffice via PPA (https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-4). Gabriel wrote that the "crystal-package" wants to remove other LibreOffice packages. To be sure here is a list of all my libreoffice* packages:
libreoffice

libreoffice-base-drivers

Trying to install
libreoffice-style-crystalwants to removelibreoffice-base-core libreoffice-calc libreoffice-common libreoffice-core python3-uno(!?). Installing other packages has no effect on how LibreOffice looks. do I need to change something else inside the app? – Gabriel Aug 6 '15 at 0:52 -
Yes, to implement those styles you should go to
Tools->Options->LibreOffice(dropdown menu) ->Stylesand change the style. – r3bl Aug 6 '15 at 11:14 -
You probably mean
Viewsince there is noStylesoption. In any case, this only changes the icons, not the overall look of the app. Thank you for all the icon sets though! – Gabriel Aug 6 '15 at 13:49
To have a more appropriate look, you can install the Sifr icon theme :
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-style-sifr
After install, open Libreoffice and go to Tools → Options and select Sifr icons and small size.
I hope you like it.

What version of the LibreOffice are you using? This looks like the old version, from the Software Center. To get the newest version:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
