5 Tips of Stylish Office Style

Reading Time: 3 minutes
 
 
Everyone has met that person – you know, the one who seems to just wake up with incredible (and let’s be honest, enviable) office style.   That level of style seems unobtainable – especially 5 days a week. But, what I have come to realize that there are a few simple tricks that can make your style go from zero to hero without all the fuss that you’d think comes along with looking so polished.   vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, bree aylwin, fashion styles, vancouver fashion blogger, top fashion blogs, popular fashion blogs, top style blogs, the urban umbrella style blog, stylish office outfit ideas, spring office style, spring style
Now I know I cannot be the only one who hits the snooze button in the morning so many times that there is often only about 20 minutes left to get ready before work.
 
If you’re one of those gals who loves to sleep in then getting down the simple basics is imperative to chic everyday office style.

5 Tips for Everyday Office Style

1.  Plan Before 

Making the most of your “free time” aka the night before a busy day is always the best way to minimize stress the next morning.   Pick out all the pieces (clothing, jewelry & shoes ) you plan to wear the next day and set them up in a practical spot to remind your-groggy-morning-self of the outfit you planned out.
 

2. Hang Your Outfit ALL Together

Setting up your clothes conveniently the night before can only help you for a rushed next morning.  Hang all your clothing & jewelry on one hanger so in the morning you can easily just grab it without needing to search for a particular item. Taking your shoes out of the closet & putting them near the doorway will also help you out in the terrible case of you running late!
 3.  Add on Some Jewelry Nothing polishes off a look quite like jewelry. Whether you’re adding a dainty necklace or some statement earrings, always add on a sparkly piece to complete your perfectly styled everyday look!
 

4.  Check the Weather

Let’s get honest, you do not want to be caught in a rainstorm in shorts & a tank top. Checking the weather the day before your busy day is one of the best things to do to prepare and allow yourself to have a practical & stylish look.

5.   Have a Back-Up Outfit

Ever plan an outfit that just does not pan out quite right? Well, I have, and in those cases I always turn to my “back up”. A back up outfit is one that you can always turn to for a classically chic look. My back up outfit simply consists of a dark grey or black t-shirt, a pair of black slacks, black flats & a necklace. It is the sort of look which can easily be dressed up with a blazer or just be worn on its own for a more effortless look. Choosing your own back up should be based on 1. Practicality 2. Classic colours 3. Simplicity.
  • PRACTICALITY: Choose an outfit that easily be layered up based on the weather. My back-up can simply be layered with a cardigan & blazer if the weather is particularly blustery.
  • CLASSIC COLOURS: Your back-up should easily mix & match other colours to eliminate the stress of pairing and matching in a rush. If you’re back-up is a classic combination of black & white (or black & grey, like mine) then you can easily throw on any necklace, statement heels or bright sweater!
  • SIMPLICITY: This is basically a combining classic colours & practicality together under one umbrella. Make your back-up outfit simple, don’t mess with prints, patterns, or bold colours when it comes to your canvas articles of clothing.

    I totally agree about planning your outfti ahead of time. I do that everyday and those days I don't, i regret it. I find if i know what i'm going to wear ahead of time, my bedroom won't look like a hurricane went through it.

    Planning ahead – and having different options depending on the weather is a great tip!
    Mornings are so busy and then having to rush around last minute can really start the day off wrong.
    Love the picture too!

    I actually like the sound of your back up outfit! A go-to "uniform" is a great way to look put together!

[AD] It drives me a bit crazy when I see littered [AD] It drives me a bit crazy when I see littered single-use items, like water bottles, on hiking trails. Single-use items are used for a short time, but they have a lasting impact on our environment. I believe nature is sacred and we need to cherish it, support it, and respect it. That’s why when I go on a hike I always make sure to bring my reusable water bottle.

Carrying a reusable water bottle is a simple Superhabit that you can implement anywhere you go! So this summer stay hydrated and stay environmentally responsible with a reusable water bottle! #WhatsYourSuperhabit
