Wrap Blouse

Best corporate look: knee-length skirt suit, fitted trouser suit, knee-length dress or skirt and blouse?

I used to be big into trouser suits. When I decided my legs weren’t that bad and invested in some great work heels I went the skirt suit route. Nowadays I am very much into the little knee-length corporate dresses.

Guys, which look sexier on women? And women, which do you prefer to wear?
I am slim but curvy, slightly pear-shaped. My skirts are either pencil skirts or tulip-shaped (ie flare out a bit at the bottom) and never shorter than the knee. The dresses are either wrap dresses (black, white and one print) or fitted (think 50s curve hugging but not showing much flesh).

I just find blouse/skirt or blouse/trouser combo a bit boring, unless I wear a suit and take off the jacket.

Any other suggestions for corporate wear?

You should never try to look sexy at work. Having that sexy look at work makes you look unprofessional. I think, however that skirts or dresses are fine as long as they’re not short or you’re not showing any cleavage. Some companies still frown upon women wearing trousers (usually the old fashioned ones like accountants and lawyers offices). I think a nice skirt suit with a white or coloured blouse underneath, tights and some heels (not too high) are fine.
