Office attire for women doesn’t have to equal boring. While there are guidelines for appropriate business dress, here are a few quick tips to give your work clothes personality:
1. Instead of your standard button-up work shirt, pair your suits with blouses or camisoles that have visual interest—a pattern, pop of color, texture, or sheen.

2. Add jewelry. This is where we bring YOU in— your personal style in small, appropriate pops. Whether it’s around your neck, on your wrist, or an interesting clip in your hair.
3. Break up your suits. Gone are the days where you need matching black trousers & a stiff black blazer. Instead, try pairing your neutral blazer or jacket with a colored trouser. Or wear your pencil skirt with a blouse and cardigan.

4. Stray from your standard black pump and wear a shoe in a color or a subtle animal print. A subtle croc-embossed pattern will act as a pseudo neutral, and you’ll be able to pair it with limitless options
