This blog post how to style your work outfit for your corporate job.
Buying your first work outfit is exhausting, pricy, and stressful to say the least. When you start you first job, you buy a million different combinations of tops, pants, and shoes. You don’t know what you need or like wearing until you go into office and two things happen: 1. you see what everyone else is wearing 2. you figure out what is actually professional and comfortable.
For example:pants can be uncomfortable to wear all day in the office. There are so many other work outfit options instead of wearing pants 5 days a week.
You want professional, comfortable, and stylish outfits to wear to the office. Here is exactly what work outfit pieces you need to fit all 3 every day.

Styling your work outfit can be super easy with these 5 closet staples!
Let’s be realistic for a second: spending hundreds of dollars on outfits you only wear to work….. a waste.
Office outfits should be multipurpose.
Obviously don’t wear your office outfit to a date night with your husband, however, you could wear the maxi dress to a family dinner or a blazer to a fancy dinner out with your girlfriends.
Work Outfit Styling 101
Blazer
If a blazer is not in your closet, order one RIGHT NOW!
Blazers are so easy to pair and instantly elevate an outfit. The look that a blazer gives is unmatched. The best part about a blazer is that this is the center of the outfit.
The #1 reason to have a blazer in your closet is multipurpose. It will match your work pants, jeans, or over a simple dress.
Mules
Mules have been in my closet since my first corporate job. You need them in nude, black, and gold! Say goodbye to blisters on your ankles because mules avoid that problem from the start.
Mules are comfortable, chic, and realistic for an office work day.
Maxi Dress

You will love a maxi dress for the spring, summer, and fall months in the office. Talk about comfortable. This outfit choice is so flowy, unlike pants where you are restricted.
Easy. Having a maxi dress, you do not need to comb through the closet looking for a top and pant combination.
Being a maxi length, the dress is appropriate for an office setting. You will need one with sleeves for the office (professional and it is usually cold in corporate offices), but if not, you can add a cardigan over the dress.
Cardigan
A cardigan is a staple for an office job. Leave one at your desk or bring one everyday, either way YOU NEED A CARDIGAN.
Pick a neutral color as a starter, it will go with everything and can be wore everyday.
Offices are usually freezing so even if it does not go with the outfit, you may need something for a layer of warmth.
Jewelry
Jewelry is the cherry on top for a work outfit (or any outfit for that matter).
These gold simple bracelets are the perfect everyday look for your work outfit. They go with everything (including other earrings/rings).
Have a go to pair of earrings, bracelets, or necklaces that can be wore with any outfit, mornings are so much easier when you have go to jewelry pieces.
