The chicest outfits, in our humble opinion, mix classics and trends.  Pair a classic high-waisted skirt with a three-quarter sleeved jacket with an oversized collar.  Or spice up a neutral colored dress with a bright overcoat.

Some work-appropriate trends to consider: menswear as womenswear (think: tuxedo detailing, high-waisted trouser pants), geometric patterns, dresses, bright colors, ruffles, tie-front blouses, and trapeze shapes.

Don’t forget about accessories–if chosen well, they can add extra polish to an outfit.  Even though PR is a creative field, we recommend playing it safe with closed-toe shoes.  Two on-trend styles to look at: ballet flats and round-toe pumps.

Lastly, take care in choosing a classic work bag.  It bags come and go, but classics will stay with you season after season.

What’s an outfit you can’t go wrong in?  A shirtdress with interesting detailing, a light overcoat or sweater, a luxurious bag, and a pair of low (closed-toe) heels.
