THE UNIFORM

It's no shocker that the black boyfriend blazer/skinny jean combo has become the unofficial #hautegeek uniform. You'll see it as a go-to for conferences, meetings, and interviews, and for good reason: it says 'I'm chic...and smart.' It's dressy enough to match our killer stacked heels, but comfy enough for us to run the gammet of our jam-packed days. Not to mention it means extra pockets for all our gadgets and the uber-ease of seamlessly matching any office-cas outfit to instantly up the professionalism level.

While I too am guilty of the look, I challenge my fellow #hautegeeks to spice it up for Spring. A lightweight trench, breezy kimono, or spunky novelty jacket is the perfect way to stir the fashion pot. Don't let tried and true, turn into tired. We're leaders, and if we're the first to know about new tech and trends, we should be the first to rock innovation in our wardrobe as well. Leave the pocket space to your handbag.
