Look Fabulous At The Office

Age: 20s

Style tip: You have more room to play with of-the-moment trends and form-fitting silhouettes, but make sure to layer with long sleeve tops and polished outerwear to keep the look appropriate.

Age: 30s

Style tip: Experiment with textures and bright hues by pairing a black velvet blazer with fun printed trousers and pastel accessories. Keep the rest of the outfit refined with loafers and a classic button-down shirt.

Age: 40s

Style tip: Opt for a demure midi skirt to pair with an elegant camel-colored sweater. Further elevate the ensemble with pointed-toe pumps rendered in a muted snakeskin print and a belted longline coat.

Age: 50s

Style tip: Covering up doesn't have to mean frumpy. Play with proportions by teaming wide-leg trousers with a timeless chunky knit and elongate the legs with comfortable slingback pumps. Finish it off with a leather tote and trench coat.
