Dressing to impress doesn’t always have to involve donning your perfectly-tailored pinstripe women’s suit. Sometimes, it takes a perfectly-coordinated casual outfit to make an impression in an environment as demanding as the office.
Learn how to achieve a professionally casual look that you will be proud to wear for a day in the office. These celebrities should serve as a good inspiration:
1. Alessandra Ambrosio

Look for the best form-fitting button down shirt, and tuck the hem into your high-waisted pants. If it’s a pair of wide-legged trousers just like Alessandra’s, even better. Accessorize with a belt and a pair of high-heeled sandals.
