Your resume is impeccably written, and you have a memorized spiel on why you'd make a fantastic employee. But did you know that your overall look also plays a huge part in nailing your dream job? Here’s how you can make corporate dressing smart, yet totally fun.
Smart Casual
A neutral-toned shift dress is a great investment for the office. The A-line cut is a classic shape and flatters just about any body type.

Easy on the Eyes
Replace your tailored jacket with a sheer button-down shirt—just make sure you wear a nude camisole underneath. Your ensemble will still look streamlined, without being too serious.

Print-tastic!
You can totally get away with wearing prints, but stick to one. Understated pieces—like this subtle snakeskin-sleeved top—can still be office-appropriate, yet trendy.
