1. A Black Pump
Since you’re going to wear your shoes for a week, opt for a versatile pair of black pumps that can be worn with practically any outfit combination. Go for covered toe styles that often look more professional than sandals or peep-toe shoes. Stilettos may be nice to add some inches to your stature, but you may also wish for comfort without sacrificing style. So, choose a style that has padding to ensure your comfort throughout the day, and opt for a modest heel usually around 2-4 inches.
2. Structured Handbag
A sophisticated handbag is the perfect finishing touch to your new professional outfit. So, opt for a high-quality leather handbag that will serve you well for many years. Go for wider and more structured style that can accommodate all your essentials like paperwork, diaries, and laptop making them look organized and neat. Neutral shades, especially black is the most elegant shade you may go for. Bold colors, touch enticing textures, and creative prints add personality, but avoid anything too flashy.

6. Simple Skirt
A pencil and A-line skirt styles are the basic version of skirts you may go for especially in neutral color and simple design. Getting too short or getting too long on your hemlines doesn’t look professional, so just opt for a skirt that fall on your knees or a little below. A versatile color and style of the skirt can be worn with a variety of different tops, and nobody will notice!
7. Pant Trousers
A classic pair of simple pants without heavy pleats, cuffs, or fancy embellishments will never go out of style as you can wear them with almost everything in your wardrobe while still looking fresh and chic. Have a black pair first then consider expanding to two or three pairs of neutral colors and creative prints appropriate for your work environment to take you through the week.
8. Sweater
Have a chic sweater to top your blouses, and shirt when it gets chilly in the office. You may also consider choosing a bold accent color or pattern to bring a bit of personality to your professional wardrobe. Houndstooth, stripes, and polka dots can be great as wearing loud and flashy prints will just take away the professional look in you.
