As a college student, it can sometimes be difficult to find the balance between business appropriate and still looking—you know—young. Looking professional can sometimes seem like an impossible feat. However, if you focus on finding the right separate pieces that work for your body type and sense of personal style, you’ll be set for any kind of interview or professional project. I loved how this Fashionista was able to put together a super chic outfit while still looking so completely professional.
This student put forth her her best interview outfit that is 100 percent business chic while still remaining true to her personal style. This Fashionista told me that she first fell in love with the blazer and then decided to build an entire outfit around that piece. This is an awesome strategy for finding a classic yet modern version of a business suit. To start, try finding a statement blazer to pair with other pieces. After that, try to find a pair of pants that contrast the blazer. Like this Fashionista, choosing a pair of gray pants would be a beautiful contrast with a darker blazer.
What makes this Fashionista’s look even better is that she chose some simple accessories to pair with the outfit. While you might think that a statement necklace is off limits, this Fashionista shows that it’s totally possible to work it into the outfit if you choose with the whole outfit in mind. Pick a necklace in a solid color that coordinates with the look and you’ll be good to go.
