What to Wear: For the CREATIVE Professional

Working in a creative industry has its perks

Why are you always so dressed up for work? What do you mean?

From jobs in fashion, beauty, design or even tech — a creative environment is a playground for inspiration. Do you love guessing what brand of quiet luxury the art director is wearing today? Or how about the always on-point outfits the editors effortlessly pull off every day. Keep reading for my take on how to execute a polished appearance that proudly states "I work in a creative industry".

SOMETHING OFFBEAT, COLORFUL OR STATEMENT LEATHER

You're immersed in an inspiring environment so have fun with your wardrobe. From work bags to boss heels, a good leather piece (bonus points for a pop of color) just instantly polishes up your look.

WELL-MADE TAILORED PIECES

The goal is to refrain from looking like you work in a courtroom. I like a slightly oversized fit because the vibe feels less serious and more creative. The most important factor to consider is the tailoring. A top-notch tailored blazer, trouser, or coat gives off a discerning I pay attention to details vibe that I guarantee will make you feel good and boost your mood.

WORK BAGS THAT WORK FOR YOU

A work bag is something you'll be toting around every day. Why not invest in a really great bag that will hold all your work essentials in style. From Bottega Veneta to The Row, these high-quality bags are durable enough to carry around your laptop, chargers, beauty essentials, and more. These bags work for you so all you have to do is get to work on time.

Work bags that are worth the splurge

QUALITY SHOES MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE

I'm here to tell you...that yes, people pay attention to your shoes. Investing in high-quality or designer footwear is so worth it. Not only are they made of premium materials, the same goes for the amazing comfort and fit. Go for timeless styles and shapes that you can rotate with multiple looks. I love a good Gucci slingback, Saint Laurent loafers, or Alaïa ballerina flats — trust me, people will notice.
