Wardrobe essentials of a girl in 20s (include business wear,casuals,accessories,shoes etc etc)?

well, it would depend on the type of business that you work at. if your allowed to wear jeans, than boot cut or dress jeans are good, no sandals unless they're a little dressy, and cute decent tops. no cleavage (or at least not an overload). if you're going to be sitting down a lot, heels are good. but if you'r doing a lot of walking, try kitten heels or flats. if you cant wear jeans, slacks in grays, browns, and black. pattern is not bad as long as it's not too busy. matching jackets can be a plus, but always necessary. good to have on if you're going to be in a meeting all day. accessories are always where you can have, but dont overload on that either. long necklaces with short earrings or long earrings with bracelets. just make sure that the jewelry is not party/club jewelry. there is a difference. good tops are simple colors, or if your really into style, that are many shirts out there with frills and big sleeves that are still suitable for work.





these are just some ideas, but like i said, it also depends on where you end up working. some places can allow you to be a little more casual while others insist you are more business like.

Power neutral colors for primary suiting: black, navy, khaki tan or charcoal grey.





Buy separates if possible because your top and bottom might be different sizes and buying separates gives you the best fit. When you can afford a second suit, chose another neutral that you might be able to mix and match with some of the pieces of the first suit.





For example, if you chose black as your first suit, then you could chose red, khaki tan, olive green, purple, charcoal grey.





Matching blazer, knee-length skirt, pants all in the same fabric will give you more options.





Three blouses to wear under the jacket to switch up during the week: one in white, a bright like red or Tiffany blue (or another color that is bright and exciting), and a print like a graphic black and white.





Shoes for office should be stylish pumps. Don't go too high with the heels. They should be comfortable to wear all day and they should match your outfit. I like Worthington from JC Penney because their pumps also come in wide width. Stick with the darker neutrals for work like black, charcoal. Note: you can wear black shoes with a navy suit but not vice versa.


Save your red pumps for night time.





Jewelry should be chosen carefully. Small earrings and a matching dainty necklace to match. Or instead of a necklace a nice watch in the same color metal. If you wear a belt, same thing, the metal should match with your jewelry.





Collect scarves. Some little boutiques have chiffon scarves for under $5. You can find them in thrift stores or on sale in places like Marshalls. I once found a colorful silk Andy Warhol scarf for $19 dollars. You can also find a good designer purses there as well. Buy a nice one that will go with most of your wardrobe.





Invest in a nice rain or shine light coat that covers you to your knee. It could be any of your favorite neutral tones, but preferably a shade that coordinates with your suits. Also get an umbrella and hat to go with your coat so you will look together even when it's raining cats and dogs outside.





For more information, please read Casual Power by Sherry Maysonave. She can give you some helpful tips on dressing down but still projecting that professional image at work.





P.S. Don't forget your make up and hair. A little dab of lipstick or gloss and waterproof eyeliner and mascara on top lids only. Lip liner in clear or color of your skin. Avon.com has clear lip liner. It will keep your lipstick from running. Be sure to blot your lips. Comb or brush eyebrows. If you need eye brow or hair shaping, go to a salon.





Get something simple that won't take hours in the morning.





You're on the right track.
