Whether you are heading back to the office after a couple of years in lockdown or are starting a new office-based job and are looking to invest in a new wardrobe, we’re here to help. At our wholesale fashion outlet Stylewise Direct, we have put together a guide to the essentials for all women with office jobs.

Black Blazer

If you were only looking for one piece of clothing that will serve you well at work, all day, every day, then we would recommend you invest in a black blazer. When you put anything with a black blazer, it can almost instantly be transformed into a smarter and more professional piece of clothing, even a tank top or t-shirt.

It’s important, though, when choosing a blazer, to make sure it fits well and is not too big, because a baggy and loose blazer is not very professional. If you are looking to choose something less conventional, however, you should opt for something longer instead of bigger. This will give you that trendy oversized look without it looking unprofessional.

White Button Down

A simple but effective piece of clothing that will give you a very professional look easily, is a white button-down. It can be paired with a pencil skirt, or you could even pair it with a pair of dark coloured jeans and a blazer for a more laidback, dressed down office ensemble.

Be careful, though, that it’s not too sheer or tight, or else it will not look right for the office.

Short-Sleeved Dress

Another easy work wardrobe essential is the short-sleeved dress. During the summer, you can even wear it on its own, as the sleeves help to give it a more professional look. During the wintertime, you can pair it with a blazer, you will find plenty of these in wholesale women’s clothing outlets like Stylewise Direct.

These are perfect for the days when there are big meetings because it has a lighter and breathable feel.

Pumps

When it comes to footwear, pumps are a comfortable option, which is something you want when you are looking at wholesale fashion stores. They are easy to walk in, but also still look smart and feminine at the same time. Okay, so you may not enjoy walking on heels all the time, but heels are good when you have a job interview or big meeting that you want to bring your A-game.

Pencil Skirt

We’ve already mentioned this earlier, but it’s important that when you are looking at wholesale fashion stores like Stylewise Direct, you give the humble but effective pencil skirt serious consideration. As well as being attractive and professional, it also gives the impression that you are careful with how you dress and see it as important to give the right first impression.

A great tip is to choose a pencil skirt with a short slit at the back between your legs. This will give you more movement, but just be sure to keep it relatively small as a larger slit will just look unprofessional.
