Internships are crucial assets to our resumes and building our future careers. Internships are more than just occupying your summer months or even gaining experience in your study field. Internships are about making an impression on a possible future employer and networking with employees in order to better prepare yourself for getting a job after college. The last thing we all want to do is to instantly create a bad impression for ourselves by wearing something inappropriate to the office. Sure, professional attire might not be the most flattering thing in the world, but it is necessary to find workable pieces that make you feel confident on the nine to five grind.
H&M
H&M has a very diverse selection of options ranging from dress pants to full suits. You can't go wrong with this store because they have such a wide range of colors and styles at very reasonable prices. They carry everything from dresses and blouses to blazers, so you are sure to find something cute to spiff up your professional wardrobe. Price Range: ($30-$50)
Express
Express is a great spot to find dress pants specifically. They have everything from plain black to cute plaid and even fun colors. I was pleasantly surprised at how good their selection was and how many options I actually wanted to try on. Price Range (around $50)
Zara
Zara is the place to go if you are looking to rock a suit. They have every kind of suit you could imagine from fitted to boyfriend style. With everything from pastel colors to crazy patterns you can't go wrong. Price Range ($50-$150)
Topshop
Topshop is not the first place that comes to my mind when I think about professional attire, but they have a shockingly good selection of options. A variety of suits and dress pants are available for reasonable prices. However, it is their blouse selection that was what impressed me. They have a huge itinerary of fun and classy shirts that are just what you need to spice up a plain black pant suit. Price Range ($40-$100)
Ann Taylor
Ann Taylor is the place to be if you are looking for work appropriate dresses. In the summer especially, dresses can be so great because they are easy to style and don't involve a lot of work beyond throwing a cute cardigan and necklace over them. I was pleasantly surprised at all they had to offer especially because I typically associate this store with the style of middle-aged to older women. Price Range ($100-$150)
Banana Republic
Banana Republic offers a lot of good suit options as well as fun blouses. They run a little pricier than the rest of the stores, so this is a good place to come make a long-term investment in a suit that is beyond this season's latest trend and is something you can save and maybe even take with you into the professional world. This store has a great selection of classic pieces that will be in style no matter what the fashion style of the season is. Price Range ($180-$200)
