Capsule Wardrobe For Work | Meet the Hardest Working Executive Team of Closet Essentials in Your Wardrobe

1. White Blazer

If you’re a working woman or just working a room, I recommend a white blazer to everyone. This one is my favorite year-round pick. It’s the perfect shade of white. It works well with jeans and a t-shirt or over a dress. See three ways I wore here on Instagram then recreate the extra outfit combinations. For this work capsule wardrobe, you can use a bright white or ivory blazer. The most versatile styles are tailored and double-breasted or a little longer one-button style. These are the best high-low options for your budget that are available now.

2. Bold Blazer

You will always get more bang for your buck when you add a blazer. Blazers are the fastest way to elevate simple outfits, even jeans, and a t-shirt. A bold blazer like this doesn’t have to be a big investment. Consider a fun new solid color, like neon, or a classic check pattern. A blazer that matches your personal style will help give your work capsule a distinctive look that doesn’t look like everyone else.

3. Straight Leg Pants

Straight-leg pants are so easy to style because they will go with all of your work shoes from flats to high heels. Black or white jeans with a finished hem are often dressy enough for business or business casual outfit combinations.

4. Flare Leg Pants

There are plenty of denim options in this flare-leg silhouette, but a pull-on style like these from Spanx looks a little dressier. A crop style shows off your shoes and works well this spring and summer. A longer length works in this capsule too. The idea is to have two different pant silhouettes that go with all the same things but look totally different.

5. Bodysuit

A bodysuit like this can be so flattering and feminine. For work, I suggest a higher neck style. Wear a black bodysuit with black pants for a slimming monochromatic base under the bold blazer. Try a black bodysuit back to bright white bottoms and a white blazer for a color-blocked look.

6. Dressy White T-Shirt

An arsenal of white tops could easily be all you need to get dressed each day. For this work wardrobe, I’m suggesting a dressy white t-shirt. Imagine your favorite little white tee and pretty blouse got together and made a baby. The styles I chose for this capsule stand alone or work well layered.

7. Smock Top

A smock top will give this capsule a current vibe. Choose a style that works best for your body. If you are busty and short-waisted, then a v-neck or long-sleeve style will look the best. If you are tiny on top or have a small waist, you can wear tops with more smocking in the middle or with a higher neckline. You can mix prints, like Emily in Paris, and wear a pattern smock top with your bold blazer or keep your look monochromatic.

8. Fit and Flare Dress

The shape of this dress makes it one of the hardest-working team members in this roundup. Ideally, the perfect top and skirt merge in this all-in-one style staple you can wear comfortably day or night.

Styling Tip – Avoid losing your shape and looking frumpy when you wear a dress like this with an oversized blazer. Either keep the look monochromatic, wear the blazer open, or belt it at your empire waist.
