– Dressed for Success
 

At this stage of your life (and career), you surely know What NOT to Wear, but there are days when what TO wear to work can be a closet quagmire for the best dressed of us.  Depending on your career type, what passes for office-appropriate can vary; and dressing aspirationally for business casual can be more challenging than full-on corporate wear. 

We Found Work-Specific Wardrobe Inspiration on WorkChic.com

On this site – unlike other fashion-oriented magazines and blogs – the focus is fashion for the working woman.  We particularly favor their section on Outfits, where you can browse looks based on whether your work entails a Casual, Business Casual or Business look… and should you see a whole look or individual pieces that you covet, all are shoppable via links to different online retailers. 

In truth, all but only a few of the ensembles shown would pass muster in a spread in Elle or Vogue, but what makes Work Chic worth a once-over is its realistic view of what women actually want and need to wear to work, at real women’s price points, with a sense o style.

Should you want more personal guidance, the site’s founders offer additional services, include personal shopping, image consulting, or helping you find the right tailor.  Closet space not included.
