Office OOTDs usually have a bad reputation for being boring, but they definitely don’t have to be that way. You can easily inject your personal style into your wardrobe with a few smart and timeless pieces. Below, we list down seven things you need to further bring out your inner power woman at the office.
#1 A Structured Tote
It can accommodate your personal items plus your laptop, folders, and important documents—plus, they come in versatile neutral colors so you don’t have to dump all your bag’s contents into another one just for the sake of matching it to your outfit.
#2 A White Blazer
The collar’s tasseled hem adds some edge to the piece, but the slightly puffed sleeves make the jacket soft and feminine. Make it even cooler by cinching your waist with a corset belt.
#3 A Bold-Hued Bag
If your office wardrobe consists of neutral colors like black, navy, and beige, add a pop of color to your through a brightly hued bag.
#4 A Black Blazer
This piece is easy to play up or tone down. Match it with a white polo and skinny black trousers to wear to that big meeting with your boss or pair it with a colorful shift dress to wear to after-hours dinner and drinks with your coworkers.
#5 Black Kitten Heels
The patent finish and pointed toe set them apart from your usual black pair, while the low heel allows for comfort while still looking stylish. Wear them with a power suit to your next meeting to command extra attention.
#6 A Ruffled Linen Top
Ruffles are in this season, and the structure of this linen top brings balance to an otherwise casual trend. Pair this light blue top with white trousers and nude pumps—you’ll have your coworkers wondering how you manage to look both fresh and professional.
#7 A Block-Heeled Shoe
Block heels are still huge, and you can stay comfortable and look stylish with this pair. The feminine shape and the camel color will match your more summer-appropriate office outfits, like a cream A-line dress.
#8 A Pair of Wedges
The thin straps on these sandals will add the illusion of length to your legs and the wedge heel will be way more comfortable than stilettos. Pair this with a chic midi skirt and a festive top to easily transition from work to play.
#9 A Cream Blazer
The color will go with just about anything in your wardrobe—from dainty blouses to formal button-downs to classic office dresses. You can even take the jacket from weekdays to weekends when you pair it with a casual T-shirt and shorts.
#10 A Three-Fourths Sleeve Blouse
This effortlessly stylish blouse will go with just about anything in your closet—from jeans to pencil skirts to culottes. Sporting the olive top is a fun way to add color to your ensemble while still remaining neutral.
