Although many people spend a large portion of their day in an office, they may not realize how it affects their appearance. The types of clothes you wear can have a profound impact on how people perceive you. Consider the following: “If you want to be taken seriously, dress the part. Nothing makes a person more likely to take you seriously than a professional appearance.” – Business Insider
The 7 Fashion Essentials to wear at the Office
There is a time and place for everything, and many of us work in our offices for extended periods. To know how to dress the part, maybe all you need to know is ‘what are the basic rules of fashion?‘ And that is why we’ve put together a list of office essentials that we think will help you look your best in the workplace.
1. Suits
This versatile style will still be in style this year-and beyond. No matter the event, we know we’ll see men and women wearing suits. Because we’re classy and like to feel fancy, our dreamiest suits will be layered upon layer of flair and fun to wear. Slowly, we’ll start to see suits cut in a bit more adventurous ways, as well as hats and accessories. We will also start to see more brands introduce the perfect fall suit. Suits will be openly accepted as everyday wear as well as a wedding and/or dressy option.
2. Black Skirt
Black skirts are so trendy this season, and a skirt that is all black is just a wardrobe must-have. The black skirt has been a trend ever since the 80s and is still a very popular outfit choice. Wearing a black skirt gives a person a very elegant look that will most likely attract the attention of your boss or colleagues. This is one of the best outfit choices because it can be paired with many other outfits, including business casual, formal, and casual outfits.
3. Formal Shirts
As most office workers know, the typical button-down shirt is ill-suited for the office. Oh sure, it will do to run a few errands, but going out to dinner or a meeting will require a change of attire. Luckily, it’s not too hard to match a button-down shirt to a more formal existing wardrobe, and a few tips should help you nail a few looks.
4. Sheath Dress
A new term has been popping up on the internet the past months: the sheath dress. The trend first started gaining momentum a couple of years ago, but it has been taking over within the past year. The dress is a style that is usually worn with lace or a plain top underneath. The sheath dress is a more fitted style of dress than a drapey, loose-fitting dress.
5. Tote Bag
A tote bag is a must-have for everyone, but it can be a pain to carry around. When you do have to make the trek, you want something comfortable and stylish. The best tote bags are ones that can stand on their own but still look great. These designs are made to work for both men and women and can be used for everyday or formal purposes.
