It’s not easy putting together outfits that are subtle enough for a professional environment, yet stylish enough to stand out and make a positive impression. Work attire is a tricky subject. Different environments call for different ensembles. Committing an at-work fashion faux is a legitimate offense and can distort your image as a valued employee and even prevent you from getting ahead.

Stuck in the boring office look attire? It’s time to reinvent your staples to give you the extra at your work place. Black and white is a universal work staple, opt for a gingham skirt, a v-neck work t-shirt and a statement necklace that will make you stand out in an office filled with people wearing black and white.
