Perfect Blazer
Layers are fun, especially when workwear is concerned. A well-fitted blazer can give even the most unlikely office wear outfit a formal touch. The more you have, the merrier you will be. Grab one in black, a neutral shade and a bright colour (blue or red).to make dressing for office less complicated.
How To Style: We recommend wearing it over your graphic tee and your denim for business casual days. Or simply go the Miranda Priestly way and pair it with your pants or skirts. Guess what, you can wear it on your dates too- over your favourite cocktail!
Black Pants
Highrise, tapered, slim fit or wide-legged, black pants–regardless of their style–are here to stay forever. These trousers make the foundation of a polished outfit. Wear them to job interviews, and formal parties to look like the power woman that you are.
How To Style: Style your black pants with your classic button-down, graphic tees, shirt and blazer or sweaters. There’s no wrong way to style this fashion staple.
Little Black Dress
The good ol’ LBD needs no introduction. From a knitted dress to skater and bodycon to a wrap dress, an LBD is one dress that can be found in the wardrobes of millions of women, in endless styles.
How To Style: Wear your LBD with your white sneakers and denim jackets for the girl-next-door look or accessorize it with a statement neck piece, heels and a clutch for date nights.
Pencil Skirt
Just like your little black dress, the elegance of a black pencil skirt goes without saying. It can be the most office-appropriate outfit ever and the perfect club night outfit too. A pencil skirt can amaze you with its versatility.
How To Style: Pair it with your regular button-downs for work and with a sequined blouse for the late-night affairs.
Denim Jacket
This is another cool option when it comes to layering. You know what the best thing about owning a denim jacket is? You can wear it regardless of the season! So when it’s July but it has just rained and the mornings feel a little chilly, throw your denim jacket over your outfit. This way you can stay warm while also giving an instant upgrade to your outfit.
How To Style: You can wear a denim jacket over your sundress or t-shirts in the summer and over your turtleneck and sweater in winters.
Tote Bag
This is the perfect companion for all your formal and casual outfits. It should be big enough to hold everything that you need when you are on the go!
How To Style: Buy a tote in a solid colour or cute prints. Or both, because you can never have enough totes whatsoever!
White Button-Up Shirt
Is there one piece of clothing that you can style as effortlessly as a crisp white shirt? Not really. We just can’t emphasise enough on why you need to own this fashion staple. One of our favourite reasons, however, is the balance that this creates between casual and refined.
How To Style: Good news–there are a million ways to style this staple. Tuck it into a pleated metallic skirt for a chic date night outfit. Wear it with your fave jeans for a brunch with friends or pair it with your black pencil skirt for formal workwear.
