How to Spruce Up Your Office Looks

Office wear can easily become boring and repetitive, especially if you need to dress business formal for your work environment. Luckily with new accessories and a few style tips, you can give your outfits a new spin and polished look, without having to renew your wardrobe completely.

Here are a few ideas for how you can spruce up your office looks:

New bag…

Even if all your office looks remain the same, you can spruce up your looks with a new handbag, that is an essential piece of your work attire. For a high-quality handbag suitable for the office, check websites like Mirta for example that has some great leather bags Made in Tuscany by local craftsmen. They are stylish, comfortable, and sleek that make for a great handbag to bring to the office.

Add a pop of color from time to time…

A pop of color is a fun way you can have some fun with your office wear from time to time. Whether it be a shoe, accessory, or clothing staple, pairing it with an otherwise neutral look will keep it professional but add an extra touch of personality!

High-waisted pants…

Rather than plain slacks, spruce up your looks with a pair of high-waisted pants! How a pair of pants fits can make all the difference in an outfit, and you can have a very different look just by alternating the type of pants that you choose.

Fitted blazer…

A fitted blazer that fits you great will give you a confidence boost and pair beautifully with your work wardrobe! You can wear it with a blouse and pant combo, a dress, a skirt and blouse, a jumpsuit, and just about any combo that you can come up with!

Invest in quality jewelry…

Jewelry is a way you can change up any look, and quality jewelry (that doesn’t tarnish or show wear-and-tear) is the way to go. Even a simple blouseand pant combination can feel more put together or more ‘you’ with the addition of jewelry. Plus, if you jump onto a meeting or head out to meet a client, you can always take off a piece of jewelry quickly to scale your office-look back a bit.

Don’t be afraid of prints…

While solid colors are often viewed as more professional, once you are in the office and you know what is really ‘worn’ by your colleagues, don’t be afraid of prints! You can wear a printed top under a nice blazer and feel completely different than you would with a solid blouse. Try pairing some of your favorite fun pieces from your ‘normal’ wardrobe with your favorite work outfits and you may find they are more work-wear appropriate than you thought! 

Replace old heels…

When your heels (or any work shoe) has seen better days, you’ll really feel that in your outfit. So replace your old heels as needed, and you’ll get a major confidence boost and extra polished look at the office.

If you want to invest in some new pieces and accessories for your office looks, you can sell your clothes and put that money towards new ones! It makes it more cost-effective for you and whoever buys your pieces, and supports more sustainable fashion as your loved pieces find a new home.
