This is my wishlist/stuff I like for work attire specifically. These items are not appropriate for all work settings, so please don't consider this a guide.

So for me, a business closet is all about versatility. People spend so much time at work these days. Here are a few recs for building a basic business closet: The Black Interview Suit: This suit is traditional, conservation, and a basic necessity. The edgy black/grey/olive/navy blue suits: These suits have some twist to them that make them more interesting like a belt or a mandarin collar. I recommend both pants suits and skirt suits in at least some of these colors. Silk blouses: Silk blouses are comfortable, flatter most figures, and look great tucked in or left hanging. Experiment with colors and patterns because on most occasions the shirt with be peaking out from beneath a jacket or sweater. Button downs: Women get away with long sleeve or short sleeve button downs. My favorite for interviews is blue, but I'd also add pink and white to a basic wardrobe. Black women can especially pull of light green and light yellow. Never let the see your toes. No sandals or peep toes is my personal rule. Black pumps, cute flats that don't look like slippers, and neutral tone shoes are great. Experiment with material: leather, suede, mixtures...etc. My maximum heel height for the office is 3 inches. When shopping from head to toe it is a matter of fit, comfort, fabric and style. Not too tight. So often, especially young women, wear clothing too tight, short, and low cut for work. Can you sit in it? walk in it? Does it ride up when you walk? Fabric is important because the quality and durability of the clothing is all in the fabric. Invest in quality garments and you'll spend less money over time. Again, these are recommendations not requirements. You know the type of environment you work in and the way people in your office dress. 2 Likes

Accessories show be small, sturdy, and complement your outfit. They should not be statement pieces, but rather, bring the look all together.

Now for what not to wear. These outfits have potential, but they need work. Woman 1. The splayed collar when out in the 70's. Also, put on some earrings with that slicked back bun look. Woman 2. Fire your tailor or hire one if you don't have one. The fit is way to loose and long. It looks sloppy. You'd also benefit from a splash of color on the wrist and neck. Woman 3. Probably the least guilty, collar in and hair off the shoulders Woman 4. I see toes with a full suit, no. Cover your toes. Throw a necklace on and try not to get anything on yourself during lunch. I'm not feeling the cuff at the bottom of the pant, but at least for this type of suit it doesn't look bad. Woman 5. That split? Really? In what office is that OK? I like her hair cut and the jacket fit. The shoes could be a little more interesting, but they work. She needs ear bling and wrist bling.
