Don’t sacrifice style for anything or anyone; we promise you can stay stylish even at work. When you’re at the office you want to be taken seriously and make an impression. Striking the right balance is easier than you may think. With a few tips and tricks you’ll be dressing for the part you want and not just the one you have.
Bigger The Better
Invest in a simple but chic bag that’s big enough to fit all of your office-essentials; think: brown leather. You’ll be toting the satchel day in and day out, so you’ll want to make sure it impresses.
Suit Up
Play on being a woman in a man’s world by stepping out of the box with an updated suit. Try a printed piece for extra pop! If you go all out, make sure to match the print on top and bottom to keep it from becoming too busy.
Layer like a Pro
Try a short-sleeve or sleeveless printed dress on top of a button-down, silk shirt. Look prim and proper with your hair tied back, while putting a fun spin on your usual button-down uniform.
Ditch Them Heels
Ditch the heels for a pair of dressy oxfords; think: menswear. You’ll standout from everyone else while staying comfortable and cool. Best part about owning a pair of oxford shoes is that they are so versatile. You can pair them with skirts, jeans, dresses or shorts, they go with everything.
Go Sleeveless
When the weather heats up, trade your normal long-sleeve blazer for a blazer vest. You’ll be saved from the heat and definitely stand out amongst the rest of your colleagues.
Make Sure to Accessorise :
Accessorizing is difficult at work, so you want to make sure you’re putting your own spin on a look, without distracting from the workplace environment. Try a statement necklace paired with a crisp white shirt to balance standing out while fitting in.
