How to Give a Chic Edge to Business Outfits

It’s time for a style tip!  Today I’m going to share with you how to give a chic edge to your business outfits.  Age doesn’t matter.  If you participate in any kind of business events, this look will add a modern vibe.

Here’s How to Give an Edge to Your Business Outfits:

Streets Ahead Roger Studded Leather Belt from Neiman Marcus may also cinch the waist of a loose knit.

A studded belt and a t-shirt give a chic edge to a typical work outfit.

Here are some examples of how to style it:

Gathered Waist Long Skirt from Venuswith a long-sleeve t-shirt and studded belt.  Try a more structured pencil skirt and pumps.
  • A long-sleeve tee tucked inside a skirt + a studded belt.
Tip business casual net-a-porter

  • A blazer belted with a studded belt over a t-shirt + trousers or a skirt.  The blazer or jacket and the bottoms don’t have to be a perfect match.  You can even match the color of the t-shirt to the jacket or bottoms, while the other piece is a different color.  Keeping the colors all toned to the same color family looks more conservative.
  • A suit + a t-shirt.  Belt the bottoms with a studded belt.
  • A cardigan + a t-shirt + a skirt or trousers.  Add a studded belt to the bottoms or over the cardigan.

  • A short-sleeve or long-sleeve t-shirt + matching-color skirt or trousers + a studded belt.

As I was creating this blog post, I discovered that a studded belt is a lot more versatile than I thought.  You could switch out a t-shirt for a sweater or blouse if you like, as shown above.  You can use a studded belt to add style to just about anything:  over a dress whether it’s structured or loose, feminine or frilly; over a floral maxi-skirt; with a basic jeans and t-shirt outfit; over a coat; or even with shorts.
