Leggings outfits that can go to work

Leggings outfits that can go to work Below are three outfits that can give you some ideas, inspiration and additional tips on how to wear leggings to work in a way that is appropriate and professional. With a cardigan I quite like using a long cardigan with leggings for work.   Cardigans are great staples for the office and wearing one polishes a look without it looking too buttoned up or suited.   However, like all the different types of leggings out there there are many different types of cardigans to choose from, as well.   Instead of a drapey, weekend cardigan, I like the idea of a more structured cardigan with leggings. I think a drapier cardigan with leggings can be okay if the work environment has a more lax dress code or if accessories are added to the outfit that adds some professional finish.   However, for more structure, a cardigan, like this duster from Boden, looks more work appropriate when worn with these signature leggings from J. Crew. ...

How to Wear the Same Suit All Week

How to Wear the Same Suit All Week If you’re packing light for a trip, or you just need to make the most of what you have, you may need to wear one suit for multiple days. The two main things to keep in mind are keeping the suit as clean as possible and changing your style so you look good every day. Both aspects are easy to accomplish if you commit to them. Stay stylish by wearing different shirts and accessories for a different look each day. Keep your suit fresh by performing some basic cleaning each time you take the suit off. In 2014, Australian newsreader Karl Stefanovic revealed he'd worn the same blue suit every day for an entire year while reading the evening news without anyone noticing. Though his point was actually about his female co-anchor and the way she was unfairly judged on her outfits, the stunt got us thinking - is it really possible to wear the same suit to work everyday and look fresh? If you're lucky enough to work in an industry where th...

How to Wear Mid Calf Boots

Image
How to Wear Mid Calf Boots Although some style experts say that the key to wearing medium rise boots is to make sure your skirts and dresses sit above the knee – in other words long or midi skirt won’t look good with mid-calf boots – I do believe we can still fashion any outfits we found flattering – long skirts, skinny jeans, flare pants, flowing dresses, etc. – as long as it fits perfectly, making us comfortable and confident. Find out some easy and stylish ways to wear mid-rise boots for all different occasions. And obviously, even mid-calf boots are great with long skirts or dresses. Heavy heels complement long skirts and dresses perfectly while slouchy boots are best to bring those ’70s vibes back when paired with long skirts or dresses. Try it! Go chunky to offset longer silhouette. However, because chunky boots usually have already taken much attention to your outfit, make sure you put a balanced look by wearing skirts or dresses in simple colors or patterns. Don’t put ...

How to Wear White Jeans to Work

Image
How to Wear White Jeans to Work I often get asked if it is okay to wear certain questionable items to work, like leggings, jeans and open-toe shoes, for example.  I always turn the question back on those who ask me because every workplace is different and I can’t go against the dress code of a company.  Certainly, if a woman is questioning what is and isn’t okay to wear then the company likely could be doing a better job of making the rules of attire clearer. Now that we’re entering summer, it’s not uncommon for workplace dress codes to get more lax.  With white jeans being so popular, they can be a crisp, professional option for business casual environments.  However, some rules on wearing white jeans to work should still be followed.  This is your place of work, you don’t want to look like you’re heading to a barbecue after all. Before you put on your white jeans for work, take a look at my tips on how to wear them professionally. Watch the tigh...

How to Wear Boxy Tops

How to Wear Boxy Tops Boxy tops are a chic way to show off your love of fashion without being too revealing. These tops are cut in a box shape at the torso, giving the upper body a square shape that goes great with all kinds of outfits and body types. Learn how to pick the right boxy top for your shape and pair it with the perfect outfit to have you looking your best. Decide between a crop and a regular boxy top. Most boxy tops are either a standard fitted t-shirt length, or are crop tops. There’s a lot of variations within crop tops too--you can get a shirt that shows off your entire midriff, or one that just shows a hint of stomach. Think about what you’re most comfortable with before you buy a top. Boxy tops that end above the hips usually look better on most people. Choose a fabric. Boxy tops hold the material away from your body, so you can try fabrics you wouldn’t ordinarily buy. A fitted shirt made of leather or layered crochet might not be your style, but in a boxy...

How to Wake up Beautiful – PART 2 As much as we all wish we could wake up from a slumber looking Sleeping Beauty-flawless, the reality isn’t always as pretty (read: not even close). After all, it seems like even the most effortless beauty looks involve some dedication and time spent in front of the mirror (or a talent with the blow dryer, at best). This works on the mornings when we miraculously avoid hitting snooze, but let’s be real – between all of our late nights and early mornings, the snooze button has become a close friend we’d rather not ditch. So what’s a busy girl to do? The answer is simple: Prep the night before. Your nightly routine can easily – and quickly – help you avoid looking less than your bright-eyed self. Follow these 15 rules to get gorgeous overnight. Rule #7: Add in a PM, Reparative Hair Product If you’re going to step into the shower in the morning, use an overnight treatment on strands to repair damage, and hydrate the cuticle, such as L’Oreal Profes...
