When it comes to getting ahead in your career, a decent education, a good work ethic, and a great personality are undoubtedly the most important things to focus on, but looking good and dressing well won’t hurt either. After all, when you look good you feel more confident and when you feel more confident it is a lot easier to impress!

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best ways to accessorize those professional outfits right now:

How to Accessorize Your Business Wardrobe

Less Is More

When you want to look professional, it is often the case, when it comes to fashion and accessories, that less is more. That does not mean that you can’t adorn yourself with any accessories at all, but you should aim for a more subtle style. So, for example, if you usually wear a large ring in your nose, opting for a smaller and subtler gold nose stud may be a good idea or if you usually wear a stack of bling rings, pairing it down to just one or two favorites might help to create a more professional look.
​

Studs, Not Hoops

Hooped earrings can absolutely look sophisticated, but they are more likely to come across as too in-your-face than simple gold, silver, or even diamond studs. If you must wear hoops, then choosing small ones which hug the bottom of your ear lobe is probably more sensible.

Put On A Watch

Many of us do not bother with watches now that we all have the time available to us on our smartphones, but a watch is undoubtedly one of the best professional accessories there is. Having a pretty gold, silver, or leather watch on your wrist so you can subtly check the time is fast more professional than pulling out your smartphone every five seconds, and if you choose a stylish piece, it will make you look a whole lot more sophisticated too.

Spice It Up With A Scarf

If your business attire is all neutral blacks, whites, and grays, then you can easily make it a bit more exciting by adding a simple silk scarf in a color or print you love. It will add a point of interest to standard suits and shift dresses, but it can also be easily removed if you want to look like you mean business, too.

Sunglasses

Okay, so you probably won’t be wearing sunglasses in the office too often, but many women find that when they put on a nice pair of sunglasses, they automatically feel more confident and put together, so make sure you always have a pair in your purse for those time when you need a boost. They’re also great for disguising when you’ve maybe had a later night than you would have liked, too.

Accessories make the outfit and that is just as true of business attire as any other clothing, but you need to choose your accessories wisely, and now you can - just make sure that whatever you choose, you feel totally comfortable in it because that is what is most important!
