Being a corporate baddie requires a certain level of versatility and intention, and contrary to popular belief, anyone can be one. Whether you’re a tech girlie, a finance expert, or thriving in a creative agency, your personal style can add an extra oomph to your everyday grind. Beyond juggling efficiency and excellence at work, being a corporate baddie has a lot to do with your fashion choices and the lifestyle you intentionally curate around them.

Let’s be honest, when you feel good, you look good. It’s the same reason we fall in love with characters like Jessica Pearson from Suits, Lara from The Smart Money Woman, or, for lovers of high and statement fashion, Emily in Paris. Their wardrobes don’t just dress them; they tell a story.

Ultimately, romanticizing your workwear helps you step into main-character energy. And if we’re being honest, you deserve to feel that way every day because you work hard enough.

Here are a few tips to find your style as a corporate baddie…

Find your aesthetic

Style and personality are often intertwined, so like any style journey, your corporate one starts with self-awareness. Are you a minimalist who gravitates towards clean, simple aesthetics? A siren who blends femininity with edge? Or a power dresser who uses sharp silhouettes to project confidence? Once you’ve figured this out, you’re on to something.

Lock in with signature hairstyles

What’s your vibe when it comes to your hair? Are you a boho braids/French curls girlie, or do you love switching things up with sew-ins or wigs? Either way, we’re sure you’ll be a stunner with any. Don’t forget, Pinterest and TikTok are your friends when it comes to getting inspo.

Shop for comfortable pieces

It’s important to opt for comfortable and convenient outfits that strike a balance between fitting into your industry and maintaining your personal style.

Master your go-to skincare or makeup routine

The goal is to feel amazing in your beautiful skin. So whether you want to go makeup-free or have a 10-minute routine to get you out the door, know what works for you.

Remember, the goal is to be as authentic as possible and feel like the best version of yourself at work!
