As I was compiling pieces for this roundup, I was thinking to myself, "What really is workwear [1]?" It means something different for every work environment [2] — for some, it might be a classic pantsuit, while for others, jeans and a t-shirt might be totally acceptable. Therefore, I chose to ride with a happy medium — a smattering of blazers and tailored shirts [3] with a few items with a vibrant print [4] or fun texture. I invite you to mix and match at your leisure, or pick and choose the pieces that feel right for your work [5] situation. Whatever you choose, I know you're going to feel like the badass boss you are.
