Work Mod[a] with Moda Box

Looking for a 9-to-5 makeover? Stop wasting time every day on what to wear by building a capsule wardrobe that works for your industry. Let Moda Box send you curated mix and match outfits to make getting dressed easy. Make a power move with modern yet feminine separates. Professionalism should always be the theme. Confidence and comfort should be the feeling.

While the demands of dressing overly conservative have loosened, sticking to a classic silhouette is still key. Depending on the work dress code and environment, such as a creative arts atmosphere, bright colors might also be a wise choice if you want to be more expressive. Mix and match styles to create your desired custom suit.

Moda Tips:

  • Get a few basic blouses and pants in different colors and go through them in a regular rotation. The beauty of these outfits is that they don’t look overly starchy or formal, so they can easily transition into evening or weekend activities, like a casual dinner or brunch with friends.
  • Add a dash of color to your classic all-black look.
  • Switch from a blouse or formal dress shirt to a modest casual tee or camisole here and there.

Blazer

Blazers are super chic — either as a separate or as part of a suit. They can take you from the office to happy hour with your coworkers or dinner with your significant other. Make it fun by opting for color or print.

Blouse

A great blouse can help you out on many occasions: work, dinner, or interview. You can wear it with your most beautiful blazer or with your favorite denim jacket. Whatever your mood, the perfect blouse can add real value to your look. And for those who don’t like to look overly professional, you can choose to wear an oversized style (or men;s shirt) and be on the cutting edge.  Yes, even in a blouse you can feel relaxed!

Skirt

A well-fitting pencil skirt in a classic pinstripe or neutral color or a knee length A-line skirt is your best friend to make all the other pieces in your wardrobe work together.

Sheath/Shift Dress

Where more formal dress is still required, you’ll need a closet full of shift dresses, especially if you’re heading somewhere like the courtroom.

Flat-Front Pants

Flat-front pants are more formal than regular pants, which makes them ideal for workwear outfits. No bulk in front means a nice, smooth line.

Corporate Dress

Be ready with a couple of luxurious but versatile dresses, long and short, in your wardrobe that will make you feel confident when you need to bring your A-game for an important pitch, an interview, board presentation, gala, or fundraiser. Be mindful that there is a difference between a party cocktail dress and a corporate cocktail dress.

Cardigan

Cardigan sweaters are great for layering, especially when commuting to the always freezing office on hot summer days.

Belt

Make a subtle statement, adding a pop of color or animal print with this simple accessory.

Scarf

For the chilly days in the office or for a creative way to tie up your hair, an elegant scarf adds a chic sophisticated touch to an outfit, as well as some color.

Slingback Pumps

Work-appropriate summer footwear is tricky. There are so many stylish options out there, but it’s easy to pick the wrong one for the office. A slingback pump offers the perfect compromise between a pump and a sandal. This style is appropriate for virtually every office.

ModaBox curates fully customized outfits and tips on how to wear them, delivered right to your doorstep, on schedule! Let us focus on your wardrobe, you focus on everything else.
