Work outfits don't have to be boring. You can express your style while wearing work-appropriate clothes. When buying new pieces, think about how you can incorporate them with the clothes you already know. Here are some tips on looking great every time in your workwear.
Don't Be Afraid to Go for Color
Often work-appropriate clothes come in blacks, grays, and dark browns. However, you don't have to stick to these colors to fit into the office-ready wear. Often you will look far more elegant and put together if you add some color to your outfit. Don't be afraid to experiment with colors. Elegant dresses are a great way to incorporate pastel, powdery, and soft tones into your outfits. Dresses that come in soft pink tones and have the cut appropriate for office wear will make you look incredibly stylish and professional. You can pair them with simple black heels and a black blazer and you would have a stunning work outfit.
You can go in the opposite direction and pick jewel tones. Shirt dresses look stunning in deep blue jewel tones. They are a modern take on a classic shirt cut with deconstructed silhouette and sleek fabric. Also, shirt dresses that flare out below the waist, create a flattering hourglass shape. A piece like this should be a staple in every wardrobe. It can easily be incorporated into various work outfits. It is also suitable for numerous seasons.
Play with Patterns
An easy way to elevate a work outfit is to take a classic piece, like a shirt, and pick one with an interesting print. Thus, you can keep the timeless work outline, while adding an interesting modern twist to it. See-through organza top may not be your first choice when you think of an office. However, a top like this would look incredible when paired with a simple blazer and pencil skirt. And most importantly, it has the silhouette you are after.
Floral prints are also a great way to add some charm to your work outfits. Floral dresses are timeless and can be worn for various activities. Animal prints can bring some fun to your work outfits while making you look elegant and fashionable. Also, animal print shirts come in earth tones that are easy to pair with numerous clothes.
Invest in Good Quality Staples
If you want to be able to put together fabulous outfits you need to have a good base you can work with. Investing in good quality basics will pay off in the long run. Look for pieces that are carefully made and fit your style. To start, you need a good pair of pants. Pants that are designed to follow the natural curves of your body will give you a polished look. A simple, yet timeless, one-tone shirt is another must-have. The classic light blue shade is easy to style and goes well with numerous outfits. You are guaranteed to get a lot of wear out of a shirt like this.
