Choose a pair of off-white jeans and stay warm by pairing it with a light grey turtleneck sweater. Select an on trend light grey plaid jacket to keep your color palette cohesive. Accessorize with a black bootie and simple leather handbag.
Work Wear: Powder Pink
When deciding on a powerhouse look for the office, pink isn't the colour that usually comes to mind, however, if worn correctly, pink can look very professional. Because of its feminine nature, pink needs to be paired with more structured pieces to balance it out. Pairing a pink shirt with a tailored jacket, structured blouse or cardigan adds a touch of professionalism to an outfit. Pink is an easy color to pair with, so any neutral colour such as grey, olive, camel, black or white looks great with it. For our outfit, we paired a structured powder pink jacket with black tailored trousers. We chose all black accessories to balance out the pink coat.
Dressing For A Job Interview
When dressing for a job interview, it’s very important to appear professional. When you hear the words “professional work attire”, it’s easy to imagine a dull pantsuit. However, dressing for a job interview doesn’t have to be boring. There are many options for women to appear sophisticated yet stylish. Whether it’s a corporate or a creative job you are interviewing for, it’s always best to stay on the conservative side of things. Opt for neutral colours such as black, white or camel. Skirts and dresses should hit the knee and be form fitting. A perfectly tailored blazer is a staple item and by keeping your dress conservative, it leaves some room for you to play with colour and print of your top. Adding simple, yet elegant, accessories such as a structured tote, watch, stud earrings and closed-toe heels allow you to add your own personal touch. Below is an example of a professional and chic interview outfit. It features black high-waisted trousers with a scallop patterned shirt, paired with a crocodile tote, black closed-toe heels and a gold watch.
