3. The blazer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love that plaid continues its on-trend hot streak in 2019. The revered check print has found its way onto everything from handbags to cropped pants to blazers. We\u2019re partial to the plaid blazer for its ability to fit nicely into your existing wardrobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Check

This version from Zara<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> ($69.90) is a powerful partner for a sleek pencil skirt, a blouse, and pumps. Or, team it with a black sheath dress and platform sandals for a punky-funk touch (nineties, anyone?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The jumpsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Still? You might wonder when exactly the jumpsuit will tuck itself back into the annals of fashion history. As of now, it\u2019s still very much a part of the here and now, thank you very much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Olive

To make the jumpsuit work this season \u2014 and at the office \u2014 you\u2019ll need to seek out a utility-style number that\u2019s a little more reserved than dressy. This one from Melloday<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> ($36.97) is available in a few colors and is super easy to accessorize. The sleek zip front adds a classy finishing touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The snake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Move over leopard, there’s a new print in town. Snake prints are relatively timeless, but this year they make their mark in a far more versatile way. You can easily sport the vivacious pattern at the office, provided you show up in a silhouette that’s corporate-friendly (translate: no bodycon or thigh-high slits). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Snake

This grey, belted midi dress from Missguided ($25) fits the bill, and definitely adds to your power wardrobe. Wear it with a blazer and pumps to the office. Then, pull your hair up in a messy bun and switch to sexy, strappy shoes and a crop jacket for date night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
