There aren’t that many pieces that can look put together and polished like a classic, fitted outfit for the office. They can range from full formal suits to a mixture between an elegant tweed jacket and a skirt. A tweed jacket is always a good investment. It’s a classic piece that you will make you look flawless and always on point for the office, whether you’re meeting a diplomat or a corporate one. Mango has many great options at affordable prices, and you can wear them with a skirt, pants, a dress and even jeans for a more casual but timeless look. If you wear a white dress like I am here, a jacket is perfect to cover it up for a day of meetings and transition to happy hour.
If you’re choosing to wear a white ensemble for the office, make sure it’s not too light that your underwear shows, and not too tight of course. White is a classic and formal color option to wear to the office in spring. I wear white year-around and a tweed ensemble is very ladylike and always looks clean. The fabrics as I mentioned are key, you are dressing to the office so make sure your outfit is appropriate depending on your company culture. A tweed jacket is great because you can wear a casual t-shirt underneath that is comfortable and wear the jacket as the main top. A monochrome workwear is a spring option very easy to put together.
The most important thing you should keep in mind when dressing for the office or anywhere for that matter is to dress like you. Make sure you are comfortable with the options you’re trying. Style is very personal, it shows your individuality, and it sets you apart, it’s a chance to show your true colors. Getting dressed for the office has always been an opportunity for me to show I am a professional and with what I wear on any given day, I can see a client on a moment’s notice. That’s the rule of thumb I follow. Dress as if a client will walk into the door any day. If you feel comfortable with that then go for it.
