6 Business-Wear Accessories Every Woman Should Consider

It’s one thing to be styled in business attire; it is another to score points for elegance while at it. Sisters, the latter is what we aim for.

While you might have stumbled on articles and posts that reel out the most expensive items that will make your formal wear game go from 10 to 100, I assure you that this isn’t one of such posts. In fact, I categorically put it to you that slaying as a career woman does not necessarily have to break your bank.

With a few statement accessories, your outfits can go several notches higher than you ever imagined. So, if you’re ready to find out how to turn up the heat in your formal wear styling space, stay with me, as we explore six accessories highly recommended for your wardrobe.

1. The Chic Silk Scarf

What did you hear about chic silk scarves? For waiters and air hostesses only? Too lame? Too boring? Whatever negative thing you might have heard about this beautiful accessory, I’m going to ask you to trash it this minute. If there is any piece or accessory that has the capability to transform your outfit in two easy steps, this is it. These scarves, readily available and very affordable, exist in a variety of colors and designs. And they’re super easy to knot around the neck. Imagine being clad in a lovely skirt or trouser suit, collared shirt, and a nice chic scarf tied into a loose bow just beneath the first button. Just imagine. Another good thing about the silk scarf is that it goes with nearly every business outfit. It can even be worn on business casuals. The versatility makes it a worthwhile accessory, and one every woman ought to own. Did I hear you say you don’t have one yet?

2. Stud Earrings

Business outfits are perhaps the most minimalist of all clothing styles. As such, huge and flashy earrings are a NO-NO. What then can you adorn your ears with? A pair of pretty stud earrings. These come in a variety of shapes and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a gaudy one. Simple and classy, stud earrings are perfect for bringing your face forward. Yes, without doing too much, you can steal the show. Who says you can’t slay in business attire?

3. Stylish Work Bag

Rocking business outfits with such things as a tote bag or a beach bag is completely unacceptable. All you need to do is get yourself a pretty work bag. Fortunately, you do not need to spend too much to get one, unless you have a strong preference for big brands and exotic names. The good thing about work bags is that they are usually very durable. Made from the finest materials, you can be sure that two or three work bags will serve you for quite a while. These bags are designed to enable you to work on the move, which is why they’re usually spacious enough to accommodate your laptop and a few office files. Your business outfit is incomplete without one of these.

4. Statement Neckpiece

A simple piece of jewelry around your neck won’t hurt, would it? Your neck doesn’t have to be bare just because you’re dressed in formal attire. You need a neckpiece — a simple but elegant one. A tiny chain with a really cute pendant can do wonders to your outfit. Don’t leave your neck bare when you can rock something beautiful.

5. Sleek Wristwatch

Okay, so you’ve taken care of every other part of your body, but your wrists have no accessory to be adorned with? That’s exactly what wristwatches are for. Reaching for your phone every single time you need to check the time can be distracting, especially if, like me, the most insignificant notification can steal your attention :)

Besides, a classy wristwatch is always a sexy adornment for a woman’s hand. Try not to overdo it though. Because it’s for formal wear, ensure the wristwatch is simple. A simple leather piece or one with a tiny chain can get the job done.

6. Business Card Holder

A business card holder is a must-have for every woman. Think of it as a tiny wallet that can take anything from 50 to 100 business cards at a time. Yes, you might have a very functional work bag, but having to reach into that corner every time you need to exchange complimentary cards might get pretty frustrating. With a business card holder, you can have your complimentary cards neatly arranged. You can also reach for cards very easily. Whether you’re the giver or the receiver, it’s easier to reach for the cardholder than to turn your bag upside down. With a business card holder, losing cards becomes avoidable. It can also serve as a case for your debit and credit cards. So yeah, it’s a winner pretty much however you look at it.
