Dressing up for work requires a bit more effort as you can't just throw on the nearest t-shirt and jeans for a casual look, then still expect to look presentable enough for the office.

Even if you have a myriad of clothes in your wardrobe suitable for work, not knowing how to pair them isn't going to help either.

For this outfit, pair a beige top with a chocolate brown skirt and carry a white handbag. Alternatively, you can wear a white top for this colour combination.

The idea is to pair a lighter colour with a darker one to create the illusion of better proportions.
