It’s a dilemma every desk-bound girl faces at one point or another: how to show off your personal style, while sticking to a corporate dress code. Business dressing can feel like a minefield, but finding a dress that balances your eye for trends, and is professional enough for a meeting with your CEO, is easier than you think. If you have a collection of versatile dresses, the hard work is done for you… fashion-wise that is.
The key to creating the perfect corporate wardrobe, that also expresses your love of fashion, all comes down to balance. Invest in pieces that are simple, but not basic; tailored, but not too fitted; weather appropriate, but smart; trend-driven, but subtle. Dresses tend to work best for corporate settings, as the trend-inspired aspects are all in the details. Wearing a bold colour instead of black, a print that’s popular on Instagram, or fabric with a more interesting texture, can still show you’re in touch, without stepping outside the work-appropriate.
Brands like Atmos&Here and Willa have some great dresses for corporate settings. Take a look at our picks below for some more inspiration.
