Ideas For Work Outfits

What Is In A Work Capsule Wardrobe

Ideas for work outfits can be easily created when you give yourself a great foundation for your work wardrobe. You could call these pieces your “capsule wardrobe” for work. There are 12 pieces I recommend for every work capsule wardrobe. Here I break down items every working woman needs in her closet to make dressing for the job as easy as possible. These are options for some of the most important pieces to build the foundation for your work wardrobe. It doesn’t matter what kind of work you do either. Whether it’s in person or on a video chat, in a high-rise office or in your home office, dressing well can help you feel confident on the job.

How to Build Work Outfits

Depending on your job, you may need a variety of different pieces to build your outfits. Giving yourself a wide range of quality options makes dressing the part super simple. You can wear a blouse tucked into chic trousers, or style it with a blazer for a more polished look. Pull a sweater over your collared shirt for layering and extra detail. Finish your outfit with a classic pump. Having these simple quality pieces is important for an effortless work capsule wardrobe.

A great pair of slim, tailored black pants go with almost anything in your closet and are professional, functional, and stylish. As for shoes, I’ve chosen some essential pumps. Of course, your work may be more casual and give some flexibility on shoe alternatives. If that’s the case, I have some other essential shoes every woman needs for a curated wardrobe. But if you’re just starting to build your business capsule wardrobe, look for pumps in neutral colors, with a walkable heel height, and made from high-quality materials. When you build a quality base, you give yourself so many options.
