Work Uniform Reboot AW19

So many fresh, new looks have emerged this fall that make it fun for power professionals to update their style. “Flair” is the word of the season, proving AW19 is full energy, fun and high-style vibes. It’s time to replace the safe, staid work uniform (read: neutral) with a chicer version (read: chili pepper red!) so here are the best top trends to shop when refreshing your career capsule:

  1. Chili pepper red
    Nothing says power like a bold pop of color, so go ahead and treat yourself to a new lipstick or nail polish in this season’s hottest color — Chili Pepper Red. It will add a dose of drama to any outfit and boost your energy. To double the drama, try a head-to-toe look in chili pepper red — power suit, dress or jumpsuit.

  2. The (new) Power Suit
    Menswear-inspired looks are bigger than ever this season with suits, trousers, blazers and fedoras becoming de rigueur. A fave look is the reimagined classic suit which has been updated with figure enhancing touches and bold, bright colors that skew feminine. Update your basic suit with a peplum waisted version or stay with a traditional cut in aubergine, power red, sunset yellow or any shade of green — emerald, hunter, olive or teal — to add pop to your otherwise neutral basics. You’ll still present as commanding, but with a touch of velvet-glove.

  3. Belted blazers
    This season is all about nipping in the waist to showoff your shape, so dig out those old blazers and belts to DIY the look on your own. If it’s time to add these essentials to your wardrobe, choose from the endless options of longer blazers with built-in belts to nail the trend. There are some great ones out there.

  4. Blazer dress
    The double breasted blazer dress is back and it’s another great way to strut a menswear look without sacrificing femininity. It really is the best of both worlds — the strong, structured shoulders show off your smarts while the short, flirty hemline says sexy. Wear it with a smile.

  5. Animal prints
    You can’t go wrong with anything animal print this season so take advantage of the trend by adding a fun, playful accent to each business look. From shoes to handbags to scarves, a pop of animal print will keep you more chic, less stiff and 100% on-trend.

  6. Multi-function handbag
    Since working women go 24/7, handbags need to deliver on both form and function. Finally there are fantastic multi-function handbag designs on the market that do it all while keeping you stylish. Look for features that switch from tote to crossbody to backpack, ensuring versatility that matches your lifestyle. It’s wonderful to finally see intelligent product that better support women’s needs!
