The big question, always!
Office wear can be tad bit boring since you have to keep in mind various protocols before going "all out there". You still can try out few things to make yourself stylish, yet all sophisticated and "proper".
You would need the following things in your wardrobe to allow yourself to mix n match:
Here goes:
1) Basic tees
Yes you heard me right, a basic tee is what you need. Don't think it is going to look casual as it has many uses. You could opt for a basic "v" neck or a conventional "u"neck tee.
2) Shrug
Invest in good shrugs, a basic black, a short sleeve structured one. These can be teamed over your basic tees and they would not look basic and informal anymore!
3) Scarves
For me a girl's best friend! So simple yet so versatile. It can complete any look and are good for day as well as night. At work front they can add that bit of edge to your look. Wear your basic tee and wrap a nice stole around it and wear it with your trousers.
4) Stockings/Leggings
A good asset in your wardrobe! In summers opt for leggings and pair it with kurtis & tunics. They can pep up your work wear. In winters, stockings could prevent the cold and keep you warm and stylish.
5) Footwear
Last but not the least, footwear can make even the boring outfits stand out and make you feel good! Invest in nice footwear for work, from ballerinas, pumps, strappy ones, wedges, you could experiment to complete your look. Shoes can come to your rescue on those boring work days!
Let me know your essentials or feel free to add/suggest!
