One of the most common challenges my clients face is how to dress for the “office” when their workplace is not strictly corporate or they’re a business owner and their days are varied. They want to feel professional but don’t necessarily need to be suited-up on the daily. Given I am a small business owner too and no two days are ever the same - sometimes I need to go into a client’s office for a meeting and other days I am on a shoot or working with a personal styling client and then other days I work from my home office - I understand the need to look put together but not overly conservative.
I think the key to nailing what I like to call Chic Professional for the not-so-conservative career woman is to stick to classic cuts and shapes but use colour, print, shoes and accessories to inject some personality. Here are 5 Outfit Combinations (including a really fun coloured suit!) that you can try with existing pieces you own or shop some of my recommendations below.
