What we are wearing to "dress for success" these days has likely changed in the past couple of years with job shifts post pandemic and more.
Whatever you do for work, we wanted to share some essential pieces we recommend having for your work wardrobe. These pieces will give you optimal opportunities to mix & match and maximize your wardrobe. Consider primarily neutral pieces.
Tops
Casual tank, for example a cotton option that you can dress up and down
Elevated silky tank (more coverage) classic camisole
Bodysuit - Express has some great options that are great quality, in several color and styles. Skims does as well
Nicer t-shirt - Everlane's boxy tee is a great option, Madewell has some nicer options as well
White button up - a classic option you can not go wrong with. In spring/summer wear it open, over a swim suit, tie it up, and more. If you're not a fan of white / this classic style play with a more silky relaxed option
Blouse - use this piece to play with your personal style, incorporate florals, a cool sleeve / neckline, color, and more
Dresses/ Jumpsuits
A good black jumpsuit
Tank dress - wear alone or layer with a blazer, cardigan, jacket
Little black dress - a classic option that is not a complete mini and work appropriate if you are going into the office. A jersey material can be a great bet that is not too dressy or too casual
Athletic dress - there are so many options for these dresses if you are working from home it's a super comfortable option to consider as you can easily go from work > workout (or vice versa!)
Bottoms
Fitted trousers - like this ankle pant
More flowy trousers - linen pants (also these favorites) can be a great option for spring/summer or if you live in a state with warmer weather year round
Nicer (non distressed) blue denim
Nicer (non distressed) lighter denim (white, cream, light blue)
Outerwear
These layering pieces are essential! If you are more curvy play with a cropped vs. boyfriend blazer. If you want more coverage, opt for a boyfriend style blazer with some length / room.
Blue Blazer
Cardigan - even consider a sweater + cardigan combo as there are many of these out there these day and you get a 2 for 1 (or close at least)
Shoes
Mules - Classic option Popular feminine option (more chic)
Nude heels - you cannot go wrong with the Sam Edleman Hazel pump or the block heel pump by Marc Fisher
Elevated white sneaker - whether you are WFH, changing to sneaks to commute, or have a cool job that allows you to wear sneaks to work, a classic elevated white sneak is a great bet
