If this September marks your grand entrance into the working world, it\u2019s officially time to abandon your university sweatshirts and party dresses in favour of corporate chic attire. Whether you\u2019ve scored a dream internship or a coveted job in your field, the transition from student to early career gal calls for a new wardrobe! Luckily for you, Real Style has curated our roundup of fashion essentials to help dress you for this new phase of life. From a classic pencil skirt to an investment handbag, these sartorial must-haves manage to merge twentysomething style with professional polish.<\/p>\n

\"VINCE<\/a><\/p>\n

1) Vince Camuto Jacquard Pencil Skirt, $95: <\/a><\/strong>The ubiquitous black pencil skirt is a winning fit for a variety of workplaces, whether you\u2019re styling yourself for a new position at a law firm or a more creative gig. Try accessorizing this timeless jacquard knit piece with everything from a button down blouse to a colourful patterned top. The figure-flattering fit and conservative knee-length style mean that this ladylike skirt just may become a new staple.<\/p>\n

\"EQUIPMENT<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Equipment ‘Slim Signature’ Silk Shirt, $118: <\/a><\/strong>Don\u2019t let the look of girlish pale pinks fool you- the year\u2019s most coveted pastel still screams business! If you need another reminder of how versatile the hue is, take a glance at this refined silk blouse. The lightweight rosy shirt features a crisp collar and airy long sleeves which can also be rolled up.<\/p>\n

\"BRIAN<\/a><\/p>\n

3) B Brian Atwood Malika Snakeskin Pumps, $122: <\/a><\/strong>If you don\u2019t feel like abandoning colour and prints just because you\u2019ve launched your career, there\u2019s no need to stick exclusively to basic black kitten heels. Keep the colour and fun in your wardrobe with these rainbow-hued snakeskin pumps, which catch the eye with their vibrant colour scheme. Meanwhile, the pointed toes and dainty heels keep the design looking sophisticated and versatile.<\/p>\n

\"TEAL<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Eliza J Ponte Fit & Flare Dress, $135: <\/a><\/strong>Although your endless nights of undergraduate partying may have required glittery sequined numbers, you\u2019ll want to cast this frock aside in favour of a classic sheath. We are loving the vivid teal shade of this flared dress, along with the waist-cinching silhouette. The refreshing hue and flirty hemline prove that work-friendly dresses shouldn\u2019t have to be dowdy, shapeless or uninspired.<\/p>\n

\"DOONEY<\/a><\/p>\n

5) Dooney & Bourke Claremont Domed Satchel, $411: <\/a><\/strong>Instead of a canvas tote, turn to a leather satchel to carry all your weekday essentials. This Dooney & Bourke leather bag may be costly, but the ageless style just may last you a while. Meanwhile, the sleek black and beige colour scheme will flatter everything from dark trousers to a punchy blouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
