For those of you at Northeastern who are applying for co-op (like myself) or on your co-op at the moment, you probably know the struggle of finding outfits for interviews or dressing for the office. I have come up with a list of staple items that everyone who works would truly benefit from having in the closet!

1) You can never go wrong with a black pencil skirt! There are so many options to decide from and tons of ways you can mix and match to style it up!

Forever 21 – $7.90

H&M – $12.99

Kohl’s – $24.99

Macy’s – $69.00

2) A black blazer. You can dress it up or dress it down; a blazer can help spice up an ordinary outfit into something more thought out! There are so many ways to style it such as with jeans, a skirt, black trousers, and plenty more!

JC Penny – $20.80

H&M – $24.99

Target – $34.99

Macy’s – $89.98

3) Shoes! As a shoe-fanatic, work means getting to dress any outfit up with a gorgeous pair of heels, flats, wedges, or boots! There are so many colors, styles, shapes, and designs. A classic for me is a gorgeous pair of black stiletto high heels.

H&M – $24.99

Macy’s – $79.00

Aldo – $79.99

Nordstrom – $89.95

Here are some outfit ideas to make everyone’s lives all that simpler!

By sticking to these three staples, you will have so many ways to pick an outfit for work! Dressing up a black pencil skirt with any blouse, sweater, or shirt (as long as it is not a t-shirt) with the blazer and stilettos and your go-to purse can make struggling to find a co-op outfit a lot more easy!
