Work conferences can be an all day event or they can be a few days long. Regardless, they are a perfect chance to get to know your colleagues, network, and meet with others in your field. Work conferences can mean long days, so it’s important to make sure your outfit is professional but also comfortable.

Typically, work conferences are business formal dress code. You’ll be meeting so many colleagues in your field that it’s important that you look your best to make a fantastic impression.

Work Conference Outfit #1

Products: Button Up Shirt – Forever 21, Blazer – JC Penney, Dress Pants – Macy’s, Kitten Heels – Amazon, Studded Earrings – Old Navy, Rings – ASOS, Purse – H&M

This look is a classic business formal outfit. To get it, start off with a nice button up shirt. Button ups are always presentable and professional so you can’t go wrong. To make your outfit more business formal, layer a blazer on top. Make sure your blazer isn’t too big or too small — no boyfriend blazers or cropped styles here. You want a classic, tailored fit.

Next, dress pants are essential and extremely important for a work conference. You never want to wear anything tight, so be sure these skim your body and are tailored properly.

Because you’ll be walking from workshop to workshop throughout the day, it is important that you wear shoes that are comfortable. Kitten heels are a great choice as they’re professional and comfortable. You could definitely go for a higher heel if that’s more your comfort level, though!

Finally, you never want to over-accessorize because a lot of blingy accessories can be distracting for those you are meeting. Here, I added small stud earrings and a couple of simple rings.
