5 fashion essentials you absolutely need in your work wardrobe — they’re all under $50 at Nordstrom

Unless you work in a really creative field, chances are your work wardrobe consists of pieces that are flattering, timeless and not particularly fashion-forward. And you know what? That’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with having office-friendly basics in your closet, especially if you wear them regularly and feel comfortable in them. Trendy clothing has its place, and sometimes that’s not at work.

As with the items you wear out at night or on the weekends with friends, your work wardrobe needs to be updated every so often to ensure you’re presenting your best self at the office. If it’s been a while since you invested in a new pair of work pants or a tailored blazer, let this be your reminder to do so.

Need help adding a few versatile items to your work wardrobe that you’ll actually wear all year long? Check out the five picks below from Nordstrom. Not only are they all perfect for just about every office setting, but they’re also perfect for just about every budget. Each piece is less than $50!
