7 Must-Haves for Your First Work Wardrobe
You nailed the interview and you got the job, all you need now is an effortless new work wardrobe to go with your fancy new job. Take a look at these 7 workforce outfit must-haves and you will be prepped and ready in no time – all without breaking the bank!
1. White Button Down Blouse When it comes to basics go for quality of quantity. Choose something made out of a versatile and lasting material like silk or linen that you can tuck into your pants or skirt for a seamless and clean look
2. Cardigan A cardigan is the ideal piece to use if you want to add a pop of color or pattern to your otherwise neutral outfit. Choose colors that will complement and brighten your 9-to-5 looks while also keeping in line with your office’s dress code rules.
3. Modern, Clean Pencil Skirt It’s the perfect piece to go from office to night-out in no time at all; just pair it with a fun, printed blouse, a pair of killer heels, and you’re good to go
4. Classic Tailored Trousers This foundation piece is perfect for every office occasion and can be worn year round. Match it to your blazer and you have a power suit any CEO will approve of, or pair it with your favourite colorful blouse for a more toned down and relaxed look.
5. Basic Cut Blazer Both elegant and functional at once, a blazer is the perfect piece for adding a touch of structure to your outfit. Pick one that flatters your body type by making you look taller and leaner
6. Day-to-Night Dress A dress that is both work appropriate and party approved may seem hard to come across. Choose one that has a backless back, for example, and be sure to keep it covered with a cardigan or blazer while at the office; when it’s time to go simply ditch the cover up and you’re ready for a night out on the town.
7. Closed-Toe Pumps The business woman’s staple, a pair of leather closed-toe heels goes a long way in making any outfit look elevated and timeless. It can be styled with almost anything and can easily transition into the perfect finishing piece for a night out.
