Work Appropriate Accessories: Styling Tips for the Office

Not so simple after all, is it? 

Luckily, we’ve put together a short guide that will help you pick out the perfect accessories that office chic and affordable.

Stud Earrings

The best earrings for the office are generally studs. They’re simple, subtle, and typically all you need to add a bit of sparkle to an outfit. Of course, any old studs won’t do. It obviously depends on your work environment and how casual the dress code is, but it’s often best to go with minimal sparkle and lots of sophistication. A few of our top choices include:

The Ritz
The Pearl
The Ella

Minimalist Necklaces

As hard as this might be to accept, the office is not the place to wear your bib necklace. Save that for a night out. What you need for a long day of meetings, phone calls, and computer work is something a little more casual. Minimalist necklaces provide very little distraction, complement several styles, and are suitable for everyday looks as well as work looks. We recommend: 

The Kali
The Lily

Simple Bracelets

 

Bracelets are always a little iffy at the office. They can clang annoyingly against the desk or inhibit typing, but that’s only if you choose the wrong kind. Bulky beaded bracelets overstuffed with charms are out, but something a little more simple would do nicely. Bangles, believe it or not, are ideal because they are easy to slide out of the way when need be, and they’re not so bulky as to make a racket when they hit something. Our top picks are: 

The Abbey
The Gia
The Hana (which, by the way, matches The Kali perfectly)

Let’s face it―there’s always a little bit of a fashion contest going on at the office, no matter how professional the environment is. Give yourself the stylistic leg up by learning how to subtly make yourself stand out with the right accessories. After all, no look is complete without a little sparkle.
