And so from fashion style magazines to career counseling experts scanned through, below are wardrobe essentials to support your many demanding tasks from leisure, casual, corporate to formal outings. You can build upon this cool wardrobe ensemble later with other mix n' match pieces to create your own fashion statement. It also permits Entrepinays to cope easily with unpredictable weather changes typical of any tropical country as the Philippines. But as it is, you're well on your way by just having them in your closet as you come out to meet your new world!  

1. Standard White Shirt.  With its sleek lines, this piece matches excellently with anything while offering a fresh, professional look that's handy in fostering a favorable client meet-up experience. The classic collared, full-sleeve style is a top favorite, but a more detailed front design may work best with petites.                                                                                                                                

2. Striped Tee.  A hardworking top which makes any matching garment look stylish overall. Pair any striped tee with your pants, skirt or preferred additional layering top and you’ll never come out lousy.

3.  Classic Black Pants.  With its polished look, black trousers can give you that confident appeal while feeling comfortably at the same time. With the straight-cut that never goes out of style, you could vary the look by partnering it with a pretty blouse for a visit at the client’s office or a basic t-shirt on a relaxed weekend.                                     

4.  White T-shirt.  No other closet staple comes to as basic as the white tee. It just goes perfect with anything, whether in plain or prints.     

              

5.  Well-cut Jacket/Blazer. This versatile piece answers all your matching needs.  From pulling off a formal corporate presentation, cozying up on a not so late but cold dinner night, and up-styling for late afternoon cocktails.  Neither too heavy nor too light, the adaptable blazer or jacket just suits up with anything.        

6.  Timeless Pumps.  No doubt, heels are still the standard footwear choice in the office. Pumps in neutral shades can be a worthy investment which you could wear anywhere without going out of style for a long time.                                                                                                                                                                                                   
7. Pencil Skirt. This is your best bet if you want a feminine vibe but makes you look professional at the same time. Go with a cut that flatters the curves but feels comfortable to wear that's good for a whole-day work.                                                                                                                        

8.  Cardigan.A neat simple cardigan can also just pair with any lower piece while giving the added feminine touch to your look. It also serves great for warming up on cold days but without the heaviness of a stuffy blazer.

9.  Little Black Dress.  Your wardrobe won’t be complete without that little black dress (LBD) which is a must-have for working women.  Especially for formal parties or occasions you need to doll up for, you'll grab on to that LBD for easy styling while looking good with just the way it is.                                                                                       

10.Comfy Flats.  Who says flat shoes can't be stylish too?  A tasteful pair of flats will look chic when worn with pants and classic white shirt combination or a night cocktail dress while giving you a comfort sole throughout the day.                                                                                                                   

11.Dark Slim Denims or Jeans.  A great mix n’ match piece for chill-out Fridays is a slim pair of denims or jeans worn with the standard white shirt or layered top for a fashionable get-up.  Make it a dark shade and this makes you look even better with its greatly slimming effect.                                                                                                            

12.Wrap Around Dress.    Allows you to transition with ease from a busy day schedule to a cozy dinner date with your other half, friends, or family.  It comes as the perfect substitute for the more sophisticated little black dress during casual and relaxed, but dressy occasions.                                         

13.Slip-On Sneakers.  Chic but cool and comfortable, slip-on sneakers can take you to lengthy walks for short business errands or leisurely strolls. This is your partner when you need to step outside once in a while for some breath of fresh air.                                          

14.Dressy Blouse.   Here’s a girly complement to charm up the professional businesswoman in you.  Other than with pants and skirt, the pussy-bow style blouse can even go with tailor-made shorts and ballet flats to knock the odds out in your favor during luncheon meetings with hard-to-win suppliers.  

15.V-neck Sweater. This one permits you variety in layering to gain more wardrobe style. The V-neck sweater comes convenient for breathing out collared blouses or as an under shirt to soften a blazer or jacket during cold days. It’s good enough to be worn as a stand-alone piece for ordinary work days.
