Workload aside, us working women have no shortage of decisions to make including seeking answers to the daily question of “What am I going to wear to work today?” - rising up to the challenge of making fashion choices which reflect our unrelenting ambition, joie de vivre personality and impeccable individual style all while keeping within the bounds of professionalism and of course, the company dress code. To say that dressing for the office can be really daunting at times is an understatement.

Whether you’re prepping for a big interview, starting a new vocation or simply looking for some out-of-the-cubicle work wear inspiration, one thing’s for sure: no matter which job we’re in, it’s incredibly important for us to manage how we are perceived, and the best impressions are made by someone who looks polished and put-together. Call it shallow or superficial, and personally we think it’s a tad unfair, but studies have shown that a woman’s appearance affects her credibility i.e. whether she is taken seriously, whether she is asked to participate in high level meetings or if she is well regarded by colleagues or supervisors. Ain't easy being a working woman, is it?

But gripe not and fret not, dear ladies, for we’ve compiled some chic office fashion finds that mean serious, stylish business to help you dress for the job you want (not just for the job you have), and do it in go-getter style. Up, up and away!
