A versatile blazer. Ok, yes, blazers are an essential staple item in every woman's wardrobe, even though they're loathed by many. BUT, that doesn't mean they have to look super old school and stiff. Show your blazer some love by buying one that you'll actually get excited to wear. Look for blazers with an added quirk, like bell sleeves or a fun pattern or texture. Then, you can easily transition from woman of power to happy hour.

A statement button down. Plain jane button downs are so been there, done that. Liven up a simple top with a little something extra, like pearl embellishments and a less structured fit. It'll still meet office dress code standards, and you'll get compliments left and right.

A polished loafer. Loafers might seem like the epitome of masculine footwear, but fear not. A slip-on loafer makes for a casual, yet slightly more femine and still workplace-appropriate shoe. Every Girl Boss definitely needs a pair on-hand.

A chic jumpsuit. If you want to command the room during staff meetings, you need to enlist an outfit that can help do the trick. Cue black jumpsuit. Whether you style it with flats or heels, all eyes will be on you.

A neutral skirt. Every shirt needs a good accompanying skirt, so that's where a neutral staple comes in. Dress this up with a blazer and heels, or dress it down with a simple tank. Either way, you can get lots of wear out of a neutral-toned skirt, so it makes outfit repeating in the office much easier to get away with. You can rock this piece from season to season.
