It’s the start of another week and the wardrobe is looking predictable once again. While most people dress for the weather, it is very likely that some fashionable people just want to style their regular items without necessarily adding more clothes to the wardrobe. What’s the point of having so much and wearing so little? Indeed, there are certain fits that will always be relevant even as culture shifts and trends change. Here are some work clothes essentials that you should keep even when you’re tempted to change your entire wardrobe.
Black Shirt
Black has a unique aura that exudes confidence and self-assuredness. No matter the gender, a black shirt is always good food for the eyes. Black itself has an innate elegance and sophistication making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions. It makes you effortlessly chic. Black is a low-maintenance colour that doesn’t show stains or dirt as easily as lighter colours. That explains why it’s so addictive for many.
Black Pant-her
Black power, black panther…everything black is beautiful. Black pants are universally acceptable in workplaces that favour formal or semi-formal dress culture. Whether it is stretchy, cropped, wide-legged or built with an elastic or high waist, black pants can be worn with any colour. Black pants are powerful statement at work.
Double-breasted Dresses

Satin Shirts

Chiffon Dresses
There are cheerful party days at work. It may not be often but they exist. With that knowledge, add a range of elegant, feminine and versatile chiffon dresses in delicate floral patterns, bold animal prints, statement geo designs and classic polka dots to your wardrobe. Guess what ladies love most about chiffon dresses? Most do not require ironing so you save energy as you style yourself in these pieces.
Jacquard A-line Midi Skirt
If you’re in a top management role in your workplace or you’re a CEO, ensure you ditch regular skirts for an elegant piece like this. Since you will be representing your organisation in public, your appearance says a lot about your brand image. Before you think of high-powered negotiations, think of your appearance. In DJ Khaled’s voice, ‘it’s a major key.’
Pant suit
Who wouldn’t love to look like Coach Sydney Carter? Pant suits are generally considered as a business professional attire. However, depending on the fabric, color, and styling, it can be appropriate for formal occasions as well.
Sleeveless Dress
In a very hot climate, everyone deserves to wear a sleeveless dress. The overly conservative think it’s inappropriate but when you pair it with a loose jacket that you can easily take off when it’s too hot, then you will bother less people with your fresh looking arms. Every woman needs a sleeveless dress.
