I love bold prints at the office.  OK, I love bold prints anywhere, but I especially like to wear bold prints to work.  I see clothes as another way to express myself, and I like to have fun with them. Wearing bold prints to work can be tricky, though, as many offices dress conservatively. Today I’m sharing a few tips on how to wear bold prints at the office.

How to Wear Bold Prints at the Office

To make a bold print, like this flamingo tee, appropriate for work, keep the rest of your outfit simple.  Black pants are a wardrobe staple for me, and go perfectly with any bold print top.

When it comes to accessories, less is more. I’m wearing a statement necklace here, but I kept it in a low-key, neutral tone.  I did choose matching pink heels to balance out my outfit.  If you work in a conservative office, however, try a pair of black or nude shoes.

Can you get by with bold prints in your office?

    This is so cute! I love the bold pinks in this look! Makes me wish I worked in an office again. I work from home and I can dress as bold as I’d like, but no one sees me! lol.

    Super super cute! I kind of wear whatever I want to school, but I think it would definitely be harder if I worked in an office!
