Gray dress pants and blazer from Ohio Valley Goodwill

In most workplaces, you can’t get away with wearing a comfortable pair of yoga pants to the office. The next best thing is a pair of well-fitted dress pants. Black is classic and will go with just about everything, but you can find dress pants in all different colors and patterns when you shop at Ohio Valley Goodwill. No matter what color or style you choose, look for dress pants that offer some stretch for optimal comfort.

Button-downs and blouses
Want to look polished and professional in the office? Head to Ohio Valley Goodwill to shop for crisp button-down shirts in classic white or fun colors and patterns. For a more casual look, choose a flowy blouse. With or without sleeves, blouses are great for layering under cardigans and blazers and can transition from day-to-night with ease.
Black blazer from Ohio Valley Goodwill
Blazers
A chic, fitted blazer is an instant confidence-booster. You can pair blazers with just about anything, from dress pants to skirts to jeans, and still look put-together. Oversized blazers are on-trend this fall and winter, so don’t be afraid to size up and go for a more ” boxy” look rather than a slender fit.
Red blouse and pencil skirt from Ohio Valley Goodwill
Pencil skirts
If you’re tired of dress pants, try adding a few pencil skirts to the mix! Pencil skirts are slim-fitting knee-length skirts that add structure and sophistication to any outfit. Pencil skirts pair well with button-downs, blouses, sweaters, and even fitted t-shirts. With a sleek, tailored pencil skirt, the outfit possibilities are endless!
Black heels from Ohio Valley Goodwill
Heels and flats
It’s an age-old debate: To wear heels or flats? For people with high arches, heels can be more comfortable than flat shoes. For others, heels are highly uncomfortable, and flats are a must. The good news is, either option is appropriate in today’s modern workplace, so you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. Ohio Valley Goodwill has a great selection of shoes for all occasions, including work-appropriate flats and heels.
