Dressing professional while still looking cute is a tricky thing for many college girls. You want to look fashionable in a business setting, but there’s a fine line between dressing for success and committing a horrible fashion faux pas at the office. Although every office or work place is different, here are some tips to looking cute but professional from 9 to 5.
First, you should never wear something too revealing or sexy. In other words, don’t show a ton of cleavage or wear a skirt or dress that is way too short. If you do want to wear a shorter skirt or dress, wear tights with it so the hemline isn’t as noticeable. This is a great way to still rock the skirt you love without it looking too risque. Another way to avoid this mistake is to wear a cute cami under a shirt that has a plunging neckline – a subtle way to cover up without looking frumpy.

Another way to look more professional without revealing too much or looking too dressed up is to throw on a blazer. This fashionable item can add instant polish to any look! Seriously. Paired with jeans? Classic. Over a pencil skirt and blouse? Tres chic. On top of that form-fitting bodycon dress? Oh-so sophisticated.

Whether you opt for pants and a blouse, skirt and top, or a dress – finding items with the right fit is essential to pulling off a professional look. If you don an outfit that’s too big – you’ll end up looking frumpy and unpolished. But if you gravitate towards items that are a bit too small – you could end up looking a little too sexy (or just plain uncomfortable). A pair of skinny black ankle pants are great for any professional wardrobe. They’re not as dressy as a pantsuit but can be dressed up in other ways, while still allowing you to dress for your age. You can pair them with a cute blouse or a nice black blazer.

Finally, you can always have fun with accessories to add a little pop to your wardrobe, but still look professional. Shoes and jewelry are a great way to spice up your look and show off your personality. Pair a brighter statement necklace or a bold shoe with a plain outfit to give it fun and younger vibe.
