The corporate world may seem boring when it comes to dressing. There is a limit to how much you can accessorize, how much makeup you can wear, and the height of your stilettos and so on. I would like to show you how to make your office outfit look fabulous while still looking professional.

A bit of colour
Generally, office wear comes in dull/dark colours. Shades of brown, black, grey, navy blue and these colours can really wash someone out

To make your outfit more appealing and bring out your personality a little colour will be needed. Do not go all out like Reese Witherspoon in legally blonde and refuse to conform to the dress code. Just add a little colour and you will be ready to go. Accessories you can use to bring in a dash of colour are your handbag, waist belts, shoes and scarves.

7 Fashionable Colours You Should Add To Your Wardrobe

Earrings

The most appropriate jewellery accessory for your ears at an office will be studs. They are not distracting and are less likely to be caught in things. They also do not jiggle which can cause a lot of irritating noise when you walk around the office. Fashion Trends: Tassel Accessories – It’s All About Elegance

How To Style Your Most Delicate Gold Jewelry

Waist belt

A waist belt enhances the outfit and makes your waist appear smaller. As we said above it can be of a different colour from the outfit to give a dash of colour. It should also not be very chunky as office accessories should be minimal. A standard one or 2-inch width will give your outfit the elegance it needs.

Handbag

There are many types of handbags but for the office, we need a sturdy super stylish bag. It should make a statement and make you look professional at the same time. It should not be slouchy or droopy which will end up giving it a cheap look. Also, go for good quality leather if you can so as to look more elegant and professional.

Choosing the right handbag – how to be a fashionista!

Necklaces and rings

Office jewellery should be minimal and all statement jewellery should be left at home for the weekends out and informal events.

Silver, gold and pearls are the best options for the office. For the gold jewellery will match well with skin of warmer colours and the silver accessories go well with darker skin types. Pearls are known to exude elegance and should only be put in one string. Leave the plastic earrings and rings at home.

Wristwatch

People nowadays say they do not need a watch as they have a phone with them. A watch does not only serve the purpose of telling time, it accessorizes your hand. Make sure it is classy and will not chip off. Have a small watch as the big ones are mainly reserved for men.

The watch should also be simple so that it does not distract your coworkers.

Trench coats

With the coming cold season, you will need a nice trench coat to keep you warm. A good trench coat will go a long way in making your outfit more appealing. A beige or black trench coat will work best, mainly choose darker colours for the office as you might be wearing it the whole day depending on the weather.

The office dress code may not tickle your fancy but there are several; ways of infusing your fashion into the workplace. Just keep it minimal.
