How to Achieve a Chic Yet Professional Look

I worked out of the home for years before and after having children. One of my jobs was working in a call center. Despite the fact that we didn’t see clients, we were expected to dress up. I don’t miss those days at all. Mel shared some tips with me for putting together a professional look, which I am sharing with you with permission.
How to Achieve a Chic Yet Professional Look
Each decade in our lives should come with a stylish transformation. As you grow as a person, your wardrobe should, too. What fits our personality in our twenties isn’t going to reflect our style in our thirties. As we mature, we undergo a style evolution. You can gracefully maintain a fashion forward yet professional look as you age. If you’re aiming for a chic yet professional look, here are a few things to keep in mind that will help you do just that.
Not Your Average Pump
Black pumps are the ultimate piece for a professional look. To show off your style yet still remain sophisticated, choose pumps with unique details. The shoe remains conservative, while fun details like embellishments and metallic details tell a little more of your personal style and taste.
A Little Lace Goes a Long Way
Lace is classic, timeless, and your go-to piece for a professional and chic look. The soft and romantic fabric gives your outfit a feminine touch, while adding texture.
Pencil Skirt with Flair
The pencil skirt is every woman’s secret weapon, especially in a professional setting. The style is slightly sexy, feminine, and sophisticated all at the same time. Give your black pencil skirt a break and go for a more stylish choice with a skirt in a bold color or unique texture.
The Perfect Blazer
Your closet will never be complete without the presence of a fitted blazer. The right fit will have your blazer accentuating your waist and flattering your neck and shoulders. This versatile piece can be paired with slacks, a pencil skirt, or even a knee-length dress. A blazer is a must.
