How To Mix Professionalism And Style At Work

Style and professionalism are no longer at two ends of the wardrobe scale. Traditionally professionals would be seen in corporate black and white, suits and blazers and thick leather heels, fashion has become more versatile and workplaces more open to adding your own personal style touches while still at the height of professionalism.

You are now able to mix professionalism and style at work by adding a few details to your outfit that you used to keep for happy hour or the weekend. Follow our tips to help your working outfit go from dull to dazzling.

Add a blazer

The darker the blazer, the more corporate you will seem, but a black blazer might not match with your pastel dress. But your blazer doesn’t have to be a shade of midnight for you to look more sophisticated. Coloured blazers add an air of professionalism with a killer style – think Samantha Jones from Sex and The City. A great blazer says I know how to have a great time, but I’m on a mission.

Add a watch

Adding a nice watch adds sophistication like no other accessory. Not only a time piece, but a piece of power and professionalism, a watch shows that you care about your time, but also allows you to bring out your own sense of style.

Sleek accessories

Replacing chunky accessories with sleek, timeless pieces is a surefire way to dress up your working outfit. Delicate pieces are a great way to accessorise.

Basic swaps

Making some basic swaps in your wardrobe can have you looking more original in the office beside your black and white crew. Swapping a button up blouse for a draped one, or a pencil skirt for an a-line one are simple changes that make your outfit that little more fabulous.

Pop of colour

Adding a pop of colour to your outfit will have heads turning for all the right reasons. For something simple, try matching your lipstick or your hand bag to your shoes. A belt or a scarf is also a good place to start for a little sunshine.

Ditch the clunky heels

Ditch the boring work shoes for a pair of fun sandals or strappy heels. Pair your sexy shoes with conservative work wear and you have a winner of an outfit with style edge.

Invest in a great handbag 

A fabulous tote can totally transform an outfit when you sashay into the office. A standout piece is a must have for adding that extra stylish touch to your office ensemble.
