Whether you are someone who prefers to stick with timeless clothes or call yourself a “fashionista” at work, it is absolutely important to have the right outfits for work.

Even if you are competent and professional, it is important to have a look that highlights your elegance and why not make you look incredibly stylish and trendy on top of that.

Here are the 10 essential items for active women.

1. The blazer

A well-tailored blazer is feminine, classic, and flatters any figure and outfit. Go for a structured fit that emphasizes your waist and looks good on you in traditional work shades like navy, gray, white, black or khaki.

2. Black dress

This is arguably your best chance when all else fails! Wear your favorite black dress, sleeveless, lace-up or ruffle, and you're ready to go to work. Add a cream blazer or a printed shawl for a little brightness. You can also add a cut leather jacket for a bit of rock. A contemporary white dress is another option we love!

3. Oxford shirt

On the days when you need a formal look, an oxford shirt is always the right choice. Having a few of these will prove to be quite essential and will sit perfectly between a simple look and a more chic look.

4. The boho blouse

It's also a good idea to have pretty tops and t-shirts in your closet with elegant prints like flowers and delicate details like embroidery, balloon sleeves, etc.

5. The pencil skirt

A timeless favorite, there is something so intricate and yet so professional about a pencil skirt, that makes it a sure-fire choice. Go for the traditional working hues and go for a shinier and detailed top or, conversely, for some hoop earrings which will give your outfit a fun touch.

6. The pantsuit

Nothing gives a woman a feeling of greater power than a pretty pantsuit. Go for conventional hues like navy blue and cool gray, even purples or plaid, or striped prints. Don't hesitate to go for something whimsical in bright shades (like reds, fuchsia,…) if you work in a creative industry that will really make you stand out from the crowd.

7. Dark denim jeans

Jeans and blazers are the perfect combinations of both business and casual looks – perfect for Fridays or for a whimsical get-together with coworkers. You'll never go wrong with a trendy (maybe crisp white?) Button-down shirt, dark denim pants, and a brown belt. Add a nice blazer, a collar and sneakers or boots to make a rock look.

8. Flare pants

For optimal comfort and style, the wide-leg pants are ideal. Not only does it make you look slimmer, but they also make your legs look longer. For more length, opt for striped patterns. Wear yours with a balloon sleeve top or blouse.

9. The big bag

Having a large, dazzling tote bag at work is so handy. You can keep your makeup, hairbrush and accessories worry-free. We suggest you turn to neutral shades of women's fashion at work, like beiges and blacks that go with everything.

10. Comfortable shoes

It is important that you wear shoes that are comfortable for your feet, as you need to wear them all day. For a casual look, opt for open-toed shoes (pretty ankle strap, lace-up heels) or closed-toe shoes (ballet flats, mules or pointy heels are the best) for a more refined look. In winter, your boots and ankle boots.

Finally, don't forget the jewelry for the finishing touch. A beautiful watch is a sophisticated and eternally fashionable accessory. Go for gold or silver to match most of your looks or go for a brown leather strap for a more understated touch.
