Did you know that you should dress for the job you want to have. Well, in that case, you will definitely need to upgrade your corporate closet. Here are some fashion tips for the working woman.
Introduction
If you have a new job and you’re wondering how to upgrade your wardrobe, there are certain things you must be ready to incorporate in your closet. You also have to be willing to let go of certain looks that do not resonate with a professional look.
Less is more
Let’s start with accessories which may include jewelry, handbags, and belts. Certain accessories are given when coming up with a corporate look. You will definitely need a handbag and try to go for subtle colors such as burgundy, black, navy blue, or nude colors. Such colors can go with numerous outfits and if your pocket allows, you can get an extra bright colored bag for Fridays or weekends.
When it comes to jewelry, less is more! Refrain from using too many accessories. Simple earrings such as studs can be paired with a simple necklace but if you prefer bigger earrings such as small loops, do not wear any other type of jewelry. The same goes for bracelets. Moreover, make sure your jewelry follows a theme for example do not mix gold and silver, it does not look professional.
Elegant colors are your best friend!
Remember that you are building your professional wardrobe so you need to always dress elegantly. This means avoid wearing colors that are not fitting for the office environment. Anything luminous should not be in your corporate closet at all.
If you love bright colors such as orange, green, red and the like, make sure you wear them with subtle colors to tone down the effect of brightness. Patterns are also a good idea if you love colors, however the same rule applies, and subtle colors and avoid patterns that will clash with your look.
You need classy shoes
As you buy the right clothes to fill your corporate closet, don’t forget to get shoes that match the professional look. A common misconception is that you must wear high heeled shoes, however, you can also achieve the same professional look by wearing flats such as oxford shoes commonly referred to as brogues or even classy doll shoes.
Though if you are attending a formal event such as an interview or important meeting, it is more preferable to wear high heels just to elevate the look to another level.
Don’t forget to be yourself
As you keep it professional, remember to be yourself because everyone else is taken. We all have our respective styles so don’t shy away from that.
