Work dresses are the mark of a true independent working woman that exudes utmost elegance and sophistication. As a woman, you never want to compromise on style, not even for work.

So why should we OLs (office ladies) restrict our fashion choices to ‘dull and boring’ office wear? Here, we have three tips to help you jazz up these chic dresses and keep you looking fashionable yet professional.

1) Snazzy Heels

We can all agree that black is a safe colour that goes with everything and anything. But sometimes, a lady just needs a little something special. So look for heels that are more unique and exciting, yet minimal and office appropriate. What does that mean? Like these shoes for example, whether it has gold detailings or a stylish pop of colour, they still feature a simple base design like a stiletto or heeled sandals. These heels will also help to pull your look together, especially if you are looking to turn it from a day look to an evening look.

2) Outerwear

And by outerwear, we mean blazers! Warm and cozy yet incredibly stylish, this style of outerwear is an essential in women’s workwear. To accessorise with a blazer, pick one in light pastel or neon bright colours, or go for something printed. These blazers will surely add some colour and variety to your look without appearing too overdone. However, if you can’t see yourself pulling off a coloured blazer, pink out a black one like the one above. Unlike a regular blazer, this one features a contrasting cuff which allows it to look more dressy. Go blazer crazy and add them to your fabulous collection of work dresses for that sleek office chic look.

3) Accessories

Lastly comes the jewellery and other accessories. When it comes to your work dresses, belts are a must. They hinge your waist and keep you looking feminine and curvy, so pick out some colourful ones to give a pop of colour to a dress with a colour that is duller in comparisons, like this gold one.

For jewellery, it really depends on the dress that you are wearing. If you have on a low cut dress, pick out some fancy necklaces to play up with the balance of your neckline.

Earrings frame your face, so if you would like to appear more presentable and elegant, pick out a pair that compliments your dress.

Watches add some drama to the look, so adorn your wrist with one that suits your style.
