Whether you’ve just landed a new job or are looking to spruce up your current work wardrobe, there are some staple workwear pieces that every woman needs.

When we think of workwear, we often think of pieces that could be uncomfortable or restrictive. Some might even believe that workwear and casual pieces should never mix. But, depending on your office culture and company, this isn’t always the case. Often, we’re not required to wear a suit or something entirely tailored.

In fact, a lot of times, business casual is generally acceptable, and we could actually have so much more fun with what we choose to put on.

Check out some must-have staple pieces you need to have in your wardrobe once you’ve started working. The best part? They’re not too pricey!
