3 Work Outfits We Always Wear to Feel Confident
Sponsor Content Created With Nine West
There’s always that one outfit that makes you feel like you can conquer the world. For some, it’s an all-red look; for others, it’s a perfect power suit. Nine West has always been our go-to for on-trend shoes that make us feel confident from the feet up, so it comes as no surprise that its suits and accessories are spot-on as well. This season, the brand has teamed up with Tyra Banks for its Groundbreakers campaign to show us how the perfect pair of shoes (or even the perfect suit) can make you feel like you can conquer the day. Here are the three outfits we have our eye on right now, inspired by Banks and her groundbreaking attitude.
Plaid + Mock Croc
Mixing prints has been our jam since we discovered that plaid and mock-croc actually look amazing together, so we’re applying it to our work look as well. Nine West’s burgundy mock-croc heel is the perfect on-trend shoe to give you a little lift before a big Monday morning meeting.
Houndstooth + Animal Print
ICYMI, houndstooth is the print of the season. Wear a tight turtleneck bodysuit under this skirt suit and mix in a loafer with a touch of leopard print. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, a bucket hat will set your look apart from the rest.
Monochrome + Tiger Print
Tiger print is also creeping up as an alternative to leopard, and we think it lends well to a monochromatic gray pantsuit. With the addition of a statement pump, your outfit pretty much screams "I’m the boss around here,” and will give you that extra bump to take on your day in style.
