CLEO’s Fashion Editor answers your style questions.
1. SUIT YOURSELF
Suits are a great way to look polished without looking blah. Where possible, avoid the standard issue black suit and go for one in pastel tones or with prints. But if office dress codes don't permit you to stray beyond neutral tones, upsize your suit with slouchier, oversized fits. As long as you keep your footwear sharp, you won't look sloppy.
2. LAYER UP
Working in a corporate setting doesn't have to mean banishing your fun items to the back of the wardrobe until the weekend hits. Layer a thin turtleneck under a dress or jumpsuit to keep things work-appropriate.
3. GET WAISTED
If you prefer playing around with accessories instead, try one of this season's biggest trends—an oversized statement belt. It's a quick way to add oomph to any outfit and we especially love it worn with a sharp blazer.
