6. Patterned Pant: I love me a floral pant, and nothing screams “badass career woman” like a luscious floral print on a work pant. Even though the print is loud, you can pair this with any of the neutral tops in the capsule – I even think it would work with the striped top, if you’re into a bit of pattern play.

7. Dark Blue Jeans: If your office doesn’t allow you to wear jeans, feel free to swap this for a pair of neutral slacks, but it’s nice to have a solid, dark pair of blue jeans for casual Fridays or other events where jeans are ok. Plus, if you have an office that allows jeans, you can wear them with literally everything.

8. Black Pants: Again, a no brainer. If you work for an especially conservative office, solid black pants will work just as hard as your white button-ups to tie your wardrobe together. If you work in a more laid back office where jeans are ok, feel free to swap these out for a pair of black skinny jeans (no rips, please!).

9. Patterned Skirt: I love this cute black and white gingham skirt for spring – it’s feminine and graphic but still conservative enough that you could wear it in an office with a more stringent dress code. I especially love this look paired with the black sweater, the white shirt, and the yellow flats for a little pop of color.

10. Blush Skirt: A blush skirt adds an ultra-femme and neutral option to your capsule wardrobe that isn’t black, gray, white, or brown, but still pairs well with all of your tops and most of your accessories. If blush isn’t your thing, swap this out for another neutral color – bonus points for a texture, like leather or suede, for added variety.
