When wearing a bold or bright colored dress with a work outfit, it is important to select a suit jacket that doesn’t detract from the colors of the dress. This white suit jacket makes the bright colors of the dress pop. It shows the colors. If you were to put a black suit jacket over this dress it would bring the colors down and make this work outfit slightly dull, and less visible. Although, on some days perhaps you feel like being less visible. This style of bright dress with jacket would be a good work outfit for someone who works in advertising or a creative field. Or perhaps for casual Friday.

Notice the little bit of red in this black business suit? Formal business attire for women doesn’t necessarily have to completely dark. Your all black business suit doesn’t have to be “all black”. It doesn’t take much to perk it up. When you have a work blouse in a bright color that shows up just a tiny bit between the lapels, you get just a hint of color accent that almost acts like an accessory, even though its a blouse. All you need is a little “triangle of color” to show.
