5 Corporate girl fits you need

Working in the corporate world does not mean you need to dress in your regular suit and tie as over the years the fashion world has redefined outfits suitable for your job.

The saying ‘dress to impress’ does apply to every occasion you go to keeping in mind to be appropriate rather than too overdressed.

In movies, we see those dabbling in the corporate world dressed so strictly in their suits and ties and briefcases (boring right). There are just so many to spice up your office look.

According to fashion hub, The Mood Palette the corporate girl aesthetic is more glamorous and polished with a GenZ twist to it. When going to work in this day and age you need to keep in mind that you need to by all means look presentable and clean. So please don’t wear sweatpants and your loungewear to the office.

Different jobs require one to dress a certain way so remember to ask for a dress code in the interviews so you can source out looks you do not have.

Here are the looks you need to enter your corporate girl era:

  1. Smart Suit Vests: Vogue states that this fashion piece is a need as we approach hotter conditions. The fashion also adds that you can, “Wear yours atop a tailored trouser or a clean-lined midiskirt for a masterfully minimal result.”
  2. Trousers: Think pants but not your typical formal pants. But pants you can wear for any occasion.
  3. White oversized shirt: The ab0ve-mentioned fashion hub states that this shirt gives more of a casual feel to your office looks. Whether it is plain or has strips you can just never go wrong.
  4. Denim jeans: If you don’t like looking too formal you can wear a pair of jeans to the office. Shop for boyfriend or mom jeans to spice it up.
  5. Short platform heels: For the girlies that don’t like wearing heels but want to be formal you should invest in these heels as they are not too high but also not too low.
