Mia Calabrese, who\u2019s been in the industry for several years now, has mastered the art of the chic yet comfortable outfit combo. But she admits dressing for her job initially involved some trial and error.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s funny, I think TV has such an influence on how we dress,\u201d the <em>Summer House<\/em> star tells The Zoe Report. \u201cWhen I first started in real estate, I was like, \u2018The real estate girls on TV wear these tight dresses and high heels.\u2019 I remember I showed up to my training wearing this really fitted dress with a cute boot heel. I walked around the city like that for one day and said, \u2018Well, this is not ever happening again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comfort, Calabrese adds, is key to staying focused on the job, which is why she tends to reach for a flowy blouse, a work-appropriate jean, or a sleek sneaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReal estate is such a social job. It\u2019s one of those careers where you have to be witty, you have to be on your toes, and you have to know so much about what you\u2019re walking into before you even walk into it,\u201d she explains. \u201cI can\u2019t have my clothes become a distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This means that anything tight or constricting is a deal breaker, while breathable, quality materials are a must. Calabrese also prefers to avoid the color white, as it\u2019s prone to staining. She\u2019s currently loving the Bermuda short trend, particularly when styled with a ballet flat. Loafers, of course, are another staple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t dress so conservatively that it takes away my personality, because that\u2019s not who I am,\u201d Calabrese says. \u201cSome real estate agents go to work in suits every single day. That will just never be me, and no matter what profession I&#8217;m in, I always want to stay true to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because Calabrese doesn\u2019t spend much time in the office, she likes to keep everything she needs on her, especially in the event of an after-work dinner or drinks. One of her favorite handbags, a black woven tote, fits a water bottle, an extra pair of shoes, plus a piece of statement jewelry or two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter my last showing, I put my loafers or flats in my bag, then switch them out for a high heel, which I\u2019ve done so many times on the streets of New York,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thecreativeclassicist\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Rose Li<\/a>, Finance Executive, 44<br \/><em>New York City<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s168084739\">.s168084739{padding-top:130.9501%}@media(min-width:768px){.s168084739{padding-top:130.9501%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rose Li Finance Executive\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/18\/718d3da1\/rose-li.jpg?w=414&amp;h=542&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Rose Li<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Li first entered the workforce, she tended towards the conventional corporate uniform (think matching suits and heels). Now, with over 20 years of experience in finance, she takes a more experimental approach to getting dressed.<\/p>\n<p>Li still loves a suit, but lately, she\u2019s opted for mismatched pairings of blazers and trousers. \u201cThe qualities of an outfit that make me feel the most confident are actually to be a little bit different, and to include an element of surprise or unexpectedness,\u201d she explains. This can also be achieved by playing with proportions, color, and texture, or incorporating accessories like scarves and brooches.<\/p>\n<p>When planning her outfit for the day, Li always starts with practicality \u2014 she\u2019s a New Yorker, after all. Checking the weather and her calendar help her determine what to wear. \u201cIf I have an external meeting, then I\u2019m more dressed up, or if I have an event, sometimes I want to show up in heels. Having a little bit of height, I think, can give you confidence,\u201d Li says.<\/p>\n<p>Still, she doesn\u2019t compromise on comfort. For commutes, Li prefers a low block or kitten heel and stores stilettos at the office. Living in the city also means dressing for humid temperatures, which is where trying out different fabrics comes in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving a relaxed layering piece is really useful,\u201d she says. \u201cI have one blazer that\u2019s silk, and another that\u2019s made of a thin nylon, so they\u2019re easy to take off and carry around when you\u2019re on the subway, or you can put them in your bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comfort goes beyond a silhouette \u2014 it\u2019s also about accentuating your favorite traits. \u201cAn outfit that feels like you will help you feel more confident and comfortable,\u201d Li shares. \u201cShowing people a bit of my creativity is a source of my confidence, but for different people, that can mean different things, like approachability or sharpness.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nyladurdin\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Nyla Durdin<\/a>, Merchant, 28<br \/><em>London<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s408372126\">.s408372126{padding-top:131%}@media(min-width:768px){.s408372126{padding-top:131%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nyla Durdin merchandising professional\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/18\/bca11853\/nyla2.jpg?w=400&amp;h=524&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g MO9\"><cite class=\"AA0\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Dbop2AMDj9T\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" class=\"mPC\">@nyladurdin<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s408372126\">.s408372126{padding-top:131%}@media(min-width:768px){.s408372126{padding-top:131%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nyla Durdin merchandising professional\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/18\/c928f974\/nyla1.jpg?w=400&amp;h=524&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g MO9\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Nyla Durdin<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-487870558\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nyla Durdin graduated college in the midst of a pandemic, so dressing for the office involved a bit of a learning curve. The beauty merchandising professional, who recently relocated from New York City to London, eventually found that there\u2019s no such thing as being too overdressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn&#8217;t hurt to look good, because you feel good,\u201d she says. \u201cI don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a diss when people are like, \u2018What are you so dressed up for?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her biggest tip for fellow young professionals is to make use of everything in your wardrobe. \u201cAll the pieces I own can be worn in and outside of the office, which I think is really important, because sometimes people can get really bogged down with what we&#8217;ve been told are work clothes,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>For Durdin, it\u2019s all in the styling: she likes to layer a sundress over a T-shirt or under a blazer, for example. \u201cBuy a structured white button-down that you can wear to work, but then you can also wear it out to drinks by unbuttoning the top and adding a lacy bra underneath,\u201d she suggests.<\/p>\n<p>Her go-to outfit formula typically involves mixing new and vintage items, say a S\u00e9zane or Uniqlo trouser with a jacket or brooch passed down from her grandmother, who was once a buyer for Neiman Marcus. \u201cI always say her closet should be in a museum,\u201d Durdin adds.<\/p>\n<p>Because not everyone has a stylish relative to borrow from, Durdin recommends sourcing unique pieces from thrift shops. But if you\u2019d rather stick with a more classic uniform, a simple white tee, a pleated pant, and a cardigan make a great combination.<\/p>\n<p>Since her job involves visiting stores, Durdin opts for an all-black outfit on those days. \u201cWe like to match the store associates, plus it automatically looks put together,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/neeshadewa\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Neesha Dewa<\/a>, Tech Project Manager, 29<br \/><em>Copenhagen<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR vrU\">\n<div class=\"VE7\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"BCT MJ1\">\n<blockquote data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Db-6WBOjHhW\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" data-shortcode=\"Db-6WBOjHhW\" class=\"UyF\">\n<div class=\"yzx\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Db-6WBOjHhW\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" title=\"View on Instagram\" class=\"y9v GmH\"><i class=\"icx g9F\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Just because Neesha Dewa works in IT doesn\u2019t mean she dresses like a tech bro. \u201cI think looking good allows me to do my job better, and a great outfit helps,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Living in Copenhagen, that typically means lots of layers, as wind is almost always in the forecast. For Dewa, style inspiration is everywhere that she looks \u2014 whether in a painting, a new song, or even a colorful piece of candy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI recently dressed like a lollipop,\u201d she shares. \u201cI liked the color combination, so I found a shirt in my dad&#8217;s closet that was striped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dewa\u2019s experimentation often catches the eye of her co-workers, though taking a funky approach to dressing doesn\u2019t prevent her from looking polished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it&#8217;s about daring and trying something new and exploring. I would never go against etiquette at work,\u201d she says. \u201cAt the same time, I can also come in with a big fashion statement, like a biker jacket, or I have this blue puffer that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Personally, she gets a kick out of people who might not understand her looks. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten the most comments from my older male colleagues, like, \u2018Oh, you forgot that your jeans are stuck in your boots,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018It\u2019s on purpose, but thank you for noticing my outfit.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professionalism, Dewa maintains, is all about your attitude: \u201cIt\u2019s the way you behave, not the way you dress.\u201d Although she likely wouldn\u2019t wear a crop top or short shorts to the office, Dewa prefers to subvert expectations when it comes to dressing for work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, I have really big hair if I brush it out, and recently I&#8217;ve started wearing my hair like that at the office, or maybe even showing a tiny part of your stomach is okay if you add on a blazer. I like to try and challenge stereotypes to see if I can make it work,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Dewa, who\u2019s Sri Lankan, also enjoys playing with elements of her culture, such as the pottu, a decorative dot worn on the forehead, or wearing her hair in traditional braids.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/abrissettemd\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Ashley Brissette<\/a>, Ophthalmologist, 41<br \/><em>New York City<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s168084739\">.s168084739{padding-top:130.9501%}@media(min-width:768px){.s168084739{padding-top:130.9501%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dr. Ashley Brissette Ophthalmologist\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/18\/19a18d86\/dr-ashley.jpg?w=414&amp;h=542&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Dr. Ashley Brissette<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dr. Ashley Brissette has been an ophthalmologist for a decade, but she still relies on a trusty style trick she learned in medical school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was always taught that you dress nicely to show respect for your patients,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>While Dr. Brissette\u2019s wardrobe varies depending on how her day looks \u2014 working in the operating room always involves scrubs, for example \u2014 when she\u2019s seeing patients for appointments or surgical consultations, she can take more liberties with her style.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;d say my formula is a mix of being professional and wanting to show a lot of femininity, because I always think it&#8217;s nice and fun to be embracing that in medicine,\u201d Dr. Brissette shares. Pencil skirts, as well as ruffled or floral blouses, are her favorite ways to play this up.<\/p>\n<p>Monochromatic outfits are another staple of hers, as they pair well with her white doctor\u2019s coat. \u201cI really like having access to the pocket in it, so I have all my gear and everything that I need,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>From going between exam rooms to commuting in New York City, Brissette is constantly on her feet, so comfortable footwear is key. A broken-in loafer, a chunky heel, and wedges are her go-to styles, and something she prefers to invest in over, say, a nice handbag.<\/p>\n<p>As for jewelry, Brissette focuses on earrings and necklaces, as rings and bracelets get in the way when washing her hands. Still, she avoids anything overly flashy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause I&#8217;m a doctor, I&#8217;m also a rule follower,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of a balance because you obviously want to have your self-expression, but you also want to look appropriate for the setting.

The British Columbia-based chef obviously spends most of her time in the kitchen, but when she\u2019s not busy meal prepping for clients or catering private gatherings, Rosario takes a modern approach to business casual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I&#8217;m working on my computer, taking meetings \u2014 because I also have to plan so many things with clients and for events \u2014 I try to mix and match streetwear with office clothing, like blazers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>While working in a restaurant typically involves a set uniform, Rosario has greater freedom to experiment with her wardrobe now that she\u2019s her own boss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was always really into fashion, but in this industry, you usually can&#8217;t express yourself in that way. Luckily, I came across a few brands that make really fun chef\u2019s jackets,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Her favorites include a short-sleeved pink coat from Chef Works and a fitted, long-sleeved design with leopard print trim by Funky Chef. Rosario also says that jewelry \u2014 aside from rings, of course \u2014 is a great way to add some personality to one\u2019s kitchen wardrobe. She loves a statement necklace or earrings, though playing with her hair and makeup is another way she likes to switch things up.<\/p>\n<p>Since her locks always have to be \u201cup and tidy,\u201d Rosario favors a sleek clean-girl bun, but she\u2019ll style her bangs in different ways, or use fun hair clips that complement her look. As for beauty, she says you can never go wrong with a colorful manicure or a classic cat-eye winged liner.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"display:block\" class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div>(Stay Up To Date)<\/div>\n<div class=\"nnm\">Become A Style Insider<\/div>\n<div class=\"P8h\">Join The Zoe Report\u2019s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.<\/div>\n<div><button type=\"submit\" class=\"Ex8 qgj\">Submit<\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.page-487864588{&#8211;metaColor:#876821;&#8211;navColor:#876821} (Office Hours) How 6 Women Are Redefining The Traditional Work Wardrobe Women in six different professions share their tips for looking stylish on the job. by Hannah Malach 2 hours ago TZR; Death To Stock Photos The Confidence Issue Dressing for work isn\u2019t just about exuding professionalism; it can help us feel capable, grounded, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,255],"class_list":["post-2155221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-thezoereport-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2155221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2155221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2155221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2155221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2155221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2155221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
