Dressing for the office can sometimes feel so boring, and it’s challenging because you want to look professional, but you also want to show your style and be comfortable at the same time. You could be heading into a meeting or a casual after-work event, so your workwear should be able to transition seamlessly from day to night. So, here are a few tips on how to dress for the office and after-work events all-in-one.
Basics
You need a solid start to work when it comes to office wear. So you need to start by investing in a few timeless clothing pieces that can be mixed and matched with each other because this will just make your life so much easier. Think tailored trousers, maybe a classic blazer, and a pencil skirt. All of these items mentioned pair well with tops of different styles so you can create various looks. That is why you should always choose neutral colours like black, navy, and grey since they allow for versatility and can be easily accessorised with bags or jewellery, maybe a scarf or glasses.
Body suits
Yes, one of the most underrated pieces in any woman’s closet is the body suit. This all-in-one superstar is flattering yet incredibly practical because a well-fitted body suit can create a sleek, polished look that’s perfect for the office. It always seems to stay tucked in all day, so no more stressing about your shirt when it comes untucked after sitting or moving around. Then, when heading into an evening event later, it transitions beautifully with a pair of tailored trousers or skirt for that sophisticated look you want.
Layering
When working in an environment where the temperature fluctuates throughout the day, layers come in handy. While wearing a light cardigan or a tailored blazer can add a professional touch to your outfit, it also keeps you comfortable throughout the day so that later, you can swap that blazer for a jacket.
Footwear
Yes, all of us obsessed with shoes know that they can make or break an outfit, and finding the right pair between comfort and style is something you need a degree in. A go-to, the classic pump or loafers in a neutral colour are perfect for the office, but it’s always handy to have an extra pair of heels in your bag in case you need them. So, swapping your daytime shoes for something with a bit more flair, like a strappy heel, can change your look in just a few seconds.
Accessories
If you want to add an extra touch to the bland office look, choose the right accessories. A statement necklace or a pair of diamond and pearl earrings can add that extra bit of personality to any outfit. Moreover, don’t be afraid to swap out your jewellery when transitioning to an evening look with a clutch bag rather than a large tote.
Conclusion
Your office wear doesn’t have to be boring. And with just a few key pieces and some clever layering, you can create looks that are both professional and stylish, effortlessly taking you from meetings to after-work events.
