Although in many workplaces employees are expected to wear dressy clothing, you don’t need to stick to stuffy suits. Get a great work look that you feel comfortable in and which expresses something about your personality.
Simple garments that you can mix and match will give you so many more options to wear, and these garments can be dressed up and down simply by changing your shoes and accessories. Long gone are the days where you have different clothing for different occasions – you should get good wear from everything in your wardrobe and be able to wear each item in at least three combinations.
When purchasing a new garment, take time to think about what you already have in your wardrobe and how this new piece fits into the mix. If the answer is, “Maybe I already have something that does the same job,” or “I really don’t have anything else that will work with it,” walk away and save yourself some money.
