Gathering the right accessories can be the trickiest part of pulling together a work ensemble. But fret not. These three classic, work-appropriate add-ons make professional accessorizing easy. So now you can focus on more important things in the morning, like getting coffee.

The Bling
If you’re typing away on a keyboard all day, big bangles and charms can get in the way. So when it comes to office arm-candy, keep it simple. Go for a dainty gold watch or the always-classic tennis bracelet (diamonds are a girl’s best friend after all).

The Bag
Save slouchy bags for the weekends and use a structured briefcase bag for the 9-to-5. Stick to a neutral hue and don’t be afraid to go big – because, from your laptop to your lipstick, you’ve got quite a lot to carry. The best part? This classic bag is also totally on-trend with this season’s menswear obsession.

The Shoe
When it comes to your work wardrobe, a black stiletto is an absolute essential. Whether you’re wearing pants or a pencil skirt, a pair of these will finish off your outfit with polish and make your legs look good. Keep the style refined with patent leather and a pointed toe.

Our Wardrobe Classics: 200 Tried & True Picks Boutique opens Thursday, October 3, at 11AM ET.
