Struggling with what to wear in the office? Wanting to look on trend but also professional? Here are our top tips to balance your office wear…
It is widely known that there are some unwritten rules about how to dress for the workplace. There is an unwritten social etiquette about what is acceptable office wear in the office and what is not. Some say that the rule of thumb for the office attire is to be as uninspired as possible. With the most plain and uninteresting outfits being the most appropriate you can never go wrong. And unfortunately, this has been the case for a long time. In the past, young female professionals have been ditching accessories and jewellery together in order to avoid any unnecessary chitchat in the workplace or talks with the boss. But thankfully, times are-a-changing and this outfit approach has long been deemed obsolete. Nowadays, the options are way wider than they used to be, but still, the stigma of the “too fashionable for work” individual exists. How can one navigate and walk on the thin line of being “acceptable” at work? This may sound tricky but trust me it is not. The main solution is to go for a chic-minimal look.
What makes a Chic but Formal Look?
It all starts with the Jewellery you are wearing. Using specific accessories and jewellery together with soft colour combinations makes you look elegant and professional and also shows your character and personal touch. In short, a balance between your choices of jewellery and clothes is essential in order to nail the office look!
Types of low-key Jewellery to wear
Diamond Stud Earrings
Diamond Stud Earrings are a classic choice of jewellery that can be worn in the office. Classy, small, elegant and luxurious, diamond studs give you and those around you an extra touch of brightness and sparkle. Wearing pretty diamond studs at work is bound to increase your productivity and cheerfulness, as the jewellery you choose reflects a piece of yourself and your confidence to the world around you! Diamond Studs are also one of the best choices for dinners with colleagues, nights out after work, or office parties. Being appropriate for many occasions other than the workplace is one of the most important perks of Diamond Stud earrings.
Minimal Gold and Diamond Rings
Minimalistic diamond rings with low-carat stones are ideal for the office. Minimal Diamond Rings sparkle, but not excessively, they are elegant, minimal and will definitely raise the interest of your co-worker friends. Some questions are bound to occur like: “how much did it cost?” “Where did you buy it from?” etc. but mostly due to admiration of your personal style. Managing to stay classy at the workplace is hard work! Minimal Diamond Rings can also be matched well with Diamond Stud Earrings. Wearing the diamond stud/minimal diamond ring combo means nailing the classy office look. Minimal diamond rings can also be worn outside the office. Dinners with colleagues or friends and social gatherings are also ideal occasions to wear these rings!
Gold or Silver Bangles
Gold and Silver Bangles are our third and last pick for go-to jewellery to complete the office wear style. Slim Gold or Silver Bangles are the most low-key option for wrist jewellery and complement stud earrings and minimal rings nicely. Diamond Tennis Bracelets and statement wrist jewellery are still considered a bit extreme for the workplace, so Slim Silver and Gold Bangles are the top contenders to nail the office look. Gold and Silver bangles can also be worn in a vacation setting. They are lightweight and durable so you could easily wear a bangle or two at the beach if you want to be glamorous no matter the occasion.
Conclusion:
All in all, the key to great office wear is picking the appropriate pieces of jewellery for the occasion. There is no ideal attire, the only rule for the office look is a balance. The rest is up to your personality! Sometimes restrictions can create interesting results, and this is the perfect choice for improvisation!
