2 Button-down shirts

Another basic item that a working lady can’t do without is the shirt. Classic, neutral shirts are versatile and day saviors. You can incorporate them into different outfits and create a variety of looks with them. Ruffled collars, shoulders, sleeves, and cuffs are expected to go big after they made a huge trend in fashion shows. If you are after a deep vintage style, go for sleeve cape ruffles and narrow ruffles. Wide and loose ruffles convey boho vibes. You could also style a sheer shirt with a blazer, pantsuit, or skirt suit. The see-through look has been trendy, and this outfit is a way to turn the trend wearable to work.

10 Pink shades

The earthy shades of the 70s went big this fashion season on the runways. However, pinks also found their way to fall/winter fashion 2020.

We find the trend wearable to work, although pinks, especially pastel shades, are unconventional for the cold seasons.
