Hey girlies! So what are the essentials for every business girl? So, you’ve probably heard of the term “capsule wardrobe,” as it’s become a buzzword these days. I’m all about investing in staple pieces that not only elevate our style but also stand the test of time.
So, let’s break down the timeless “essentials for every business girl” should have in her closet!
Essential Bottoms to Own:
You want to look for the following for your capsule wardrobe:
Must-Have Tops
When looking for a capsule wardrobe, you’re looking for tops that are classic, professional, and timeless.
- Versatile Fitted Tees: A high-quality fitted tee is key. Wear it standalone, beneath a sweater, or pair it with a blazer. Play around with the different colors and pair them with your staple pants.
- White Button-Down: Opt for a slightly oversized fit. Style it by rolling up the sleeves, layering it over a fitted tee, or giving it a casual front tuck.
- Bodysuits: Perfect for layering. Essentials include classic shades like black or white.
- The Quintessential Black Blazer: No explanation needed. Every businesswoman needs a plain black blazer!
Belts to Accentuate Your Look
A belt is my go-to way to elevate or pull together an outfit. I usually throw on a black belt to tie in black shoes to an outfit.
Comfortable and Stylish Shoes for the Office
I go for comfort when it comes to shoes – you will not catch me wearing stilettos in the office nor in my capsule wardrobe. For top-quality, comfortable work shoes, Nordstrom’s Rack is my go-to. Essentials include:
- Black flats or ballet shoes
- Black kitten heels
- Elevated sneakers *note: these should not be worn out on the town. Keep them clean*
- Timeless loafers
Whether you’re starting your career or a seasoned pro, a capsule wardrobe is your best friend. It’s not just about clothes, it’s about feeling empowered and fabulous every single day.
