Essential formal wears for women

It's fair to say that its easier for men to pull out a formal wear better than women, Luckily, gone are the days when the suit was predominantly for men. Women can look just as chic in formal wear.

Below are the formal essentials you might need in your wardrobe

1. Formal pant suit

I have always admired women in pant suit, I never considered it to be my type of clothing until I tried my first ever pant suit, and I have been in love ever since

It gives me so much of confidence and sophistication, that I want to live in them forever, opting to wear light colours on the day and dark colours on the night would look great for the different occasions

As with the skirt suit, the fit is paramount for the pant suit, getting a tailored fit is, for your body type and size is an essential

2. Formal skirt suit

These skirt suits can be great for any formal dress code, keeping it feminine and serious,

A tip to pull of suit is to wear a skirt that is just above your knee, which is not to tight or too loose for a professional setting

I opted to wear a textured-weave jacket that matched my skirt, it's always important to make sure that you match your blazer to your skirt to have a posh look

But don’t be afraid to mix and match colours. Try varying shades within the same colour family for a fresh look.

3. A nice blouse

A nice blouse can come in handy when you don't have to wear a complete suit

On the other hand the top you choose to wear will complete the perfect suit. Selecting the right top is just as important as selecting your suit.

Choose a well-fitted blouse that isn’t too big and won’t look bulky underneath your suit.

If your blouse is made of thin material, as the one I am wearing, wear a tank top underneath to keep it looking professional. While you can never go wrong with a crisp, white button-up shirt, don’t feel restricted, try on some stripes, pattern or even a tie blouse like shown above

4. A interview ready dress

For the summer especially, you're much less likely to see the traditional work dress on women at the office. A few lighter, more casual dresses are a nice addition. You can have the ease of an acceptable, chic outfit in one

5. Crop blazer suit

You have read the headlines "crop blazers are gonna be everywhere" but are the really okay for formal wears? I think YES, these are so chic and very IN to style it in any way you like.

Regardless of the environment, you work in, and the style of your clothes, your clothes must fit well. They should not be too loose or too tight - the way to avoid this is to have clothes sewed according to This way, a perfect fit is ensured and you have one less thing to worry about!
