Style Rules Every Working Woman Should Follow

Angela Stone • Sep 18, 2014

The way you dress plays a significant role in your success. Whether your office is casual or strict, there is likely to be a dress code you have to follow. I have compiled a list of beneficial tips that will help you create a chic workplace wardrobe. Take a look at this useful style guide to ensure you look fantastic all day long!

The neckline on your shirts should never drop lower than 4 inches below your collarbone. Avoid displaying a lot of cleavage.

To ensure you look your best, make sure your garments are as wrinkle-free as possible.
A sophisticated blazer and a chic blouse is the perfect choice for casual Friday!
When in doubt, wear pumps. Pumps are the most versatile pair of shoes you can find and flatter every ensemble.
It’s fine to experiment with personal style but know your limits. When you are mixing patterns don’t go overboard. A subtle striped blouse and a floral skirt will work wonders.

The safest hemline falls at the knee. A-Line, Midi and Pencil skirts are the ideal style to wear for a day at the office.
If you wear a sheer top make sure you partner it with a blazer. Don’t choose revealing pants either as you don’t want to display too much skin. A camisole can also be worn under your tops.
When you are looking to make a statement, try a bold garment like a printed skirt or jeans and pair with a crisp white shirt.

Always wear shirts of a proper length and avoid pants that ride too low, never show your midriff.
The office isn’t the right place to wear garments that hug every curve; instead you should choose dresses that aren’t too clingy. Make sure your clothes fit because you don’t want any baggy pieces either.

Accessories are meant to compliment your outfit, not dominate it. Wearing too much jewellery can be quite distracting. Choose a subtle bangle or a pair of pearl earrings.

I hope these tips have helped, what is your go to office outfit?

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course .
