5 Essential Internship Wardrobe Pieces

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at TCNJ chapter.

1. The blazer

A tried and true business casual, professional BFF: the classic blazer. Some would say black is the staple color to have, and they could be right, but don’t forget to think outside of the box! In 2019, fashion is more of an expression than it has ever been, so go for the bolder colors like red and blue, or maybe a plaid or polka dot print. Keep it executive and playful!

2. The loafer

While it may seem a little far-fetched, the loafer has definitely made a fashion comeback in the last few years. This practical shoe is obviously, once again, a staple in black, but bright colors like coral and baby blue are great for the coming spring/summer months. Plus, they can be found in cute mule styles as well!

3. Pumps

No matter if you’re a high heel or kitten heel girl, a pair of pumps is a must have when it comes to an internship. They switch it up from the normal ballet flat or boot and give you an edge. With multiple colors, prints, shapes, and heel heights to choose from, a girl can’t go wrong!

4. The structured tote

A staple with commuters in mind, a professional structured tote bag allows any on-the-run intern to store all of their essentials. Pick your size, your power color, and make getting to and from your internship a breeze.

5. The statement blouse

Now, we all know that your classic black and white blouse should be in your closet at all time, but a fun statement blouse with a bold print, writing, or color can take any simple outfit up a notch. Find one perfect for your personality and suitable for your internship!
