How to Dress Corporate and Still Have Good Style

Here in New York City, there's a specific style called the "Midtown Uniform" that can't be missed once you enter this part of town. For men, it's commonly known to include puffer vests, blue button-down shirts, khaki pants, and boat shoes. For women, it's usually tight black suits and pumps that are guaranteed to get stuck in a sidewalk grate. The point is: Corporate dress codes don't often leave room for creativity and personalization. But you can still elevate your in-office style while following the rules—you just need the right pieces.

Pussy-bow blouses, leather-pleated skirts, and even a simple red cardigan are three easy purchases that can add a bit of flair to your 9-5 look, and lucky for you, I've found the perfect ones at Walmart. The retailer's exclusive brands, Scoop and Free Assembly, offer the chicest wardrobe staples that don't cost an arm and a leg. The pieces I've shopped out for you below all adhere to a corporate dress code while letting you maintain your personal style. With Walmart's October Deals event happening from October 8th through October 13th, there's never been a better time to revamp your work wardrobe.
