How to Incorporate the natural Essence for Work?
What we seek when incorporating the Natural Essence into the work environment is to help you project a relaxed, approachable and authentic image without sacrificing professionalism. So first, let’s see which clothes will suit you the most and how you can complement them with your hair, makeup and accessories.
natural fiber basics
Natural fibers will always work perfectly for someone with a Natural personality, which is why integrating any of the following items into your work wardrobe will be a good decision.
When shopping, try to choose good quality clothes that are timeless and can be worn on many occasions. Blouses and shirts in natural materials such as cotton, linen or blends of these work perfectly for your essence. Choose simple cuts and clean lines that do not saturate your image.
Choose straight or slightly flared pants and skirts in natural fabrics, the midi length is a perfect intermediate length option to be comfortable at work.
One of your key pieces are dresses in neutral or soft colors, with simple cuts and minimal details. Shirt dresses are ideal for the natural and professional look you want to project.
the right pants for naturals
- Choosing the right pants will give you more comfort during your work day, so an excellent option is cotton pants with a straight cut, in neutral colors such as beige, khaki, white or navy blue.
- Linen pants with an elastic waist or wide leg are extremely comfortable, I suggest wearing them in white, beige or light gray. Pants in neutral colors are a smart acquisition as they are a base from which you can start to create outfits with innovative combinations.
colors and prints
- The color palette that will never let you down is that of neutral and soft colors, perfect for the natural essence such as white, beige, brown, olive green and navy blue.
- You can also add touches of soft colors such as sky blue, mint green or dusty pink.
- The more intense earth tones also help to create beautiful combinations.
- If you like to wear prints, the best ones are subtle ones like pinstripes, small checks, or discreet floral prints.

accesories
- Choose simple jewelry, either in subtle metallic materials or in natural materials such as wood, leather and semi-precious stones. You don’t need overloaded jewelry to look good, a thin bracelet, small earrings and discreet necklaces are perfect for a look with natural essence.
- Bags in natural materials such as canvas, linen or vegan leather in neutral tones. And what we are looking for is practicality and ease for you to transport all your personal items, so opt for medium or large bags that are functional and comfortable.
- Shoes are one of the most important parts of a work look. We don’t want to end up with sore and tired feet, so I suggest wearing comfortable shoes made of natural materials, such as flat shoes, moccasins, or low-heeled leather sandals in neutral tones. If you prefer to wear heels, definitely choose those with low, wide heels for comfort.
Make up and hairstyle
- Use light makeup that highlights your natural beauty, for example, a light foundation and a touch of mascara.
- Eyeshadows in earth tones, lips in nude or soft pink tones and subtle eyeliner are good allies for a pretty but subtle daily makeup.
- Opt for hairstyles that don’t require a touch-up, such as a low ponytail, a loose bun, or hair down in soft waves.
- If you have doubts about a haircut that suits you, just choose one that follows the natural hairline, without too much effort to style.

- Linen shirts are comfortable and great for a relaxed and cool look. Keep details to a minimum, such as wooden buttons or adjustable straps.

- Don’t forget loose pants or comfortable linen or cotton midi skirts as an option for a casual day.
- And if you prefer to wear dresses, those with a shirt silhouette, with buttons or ties at the front, as well as loose and light dresses are good choices.

Layers are an important part of the looks for the Natural essence, the following garments are some of the favorites as a complement to your outfits.

- As for prints, keep them subtle, with pinstripes, small checks or floral prints.
- The botanical print is a sustainable, unique and beautiful option that is also excellent for your essence, so don’t hesitate to try it.
accesories
- In general your jewelry should be simple and of course! with a natural touch, which you can obtain using materials such as wood, leather, semi-precious stones or metals in matte finishes.
- Fabric or natural leather bags, canvas or linen tote bags in neutral tones, small backpacks or crossbody bags are super comfortable options that will allow you to go from one place to another with style and lightness.
- And since we’re talking about comfort, let’s not forget the shoes. Casual sneakers will always be a must-have, but you can also opt for flat shoes, sandals or loafers in neutral colors.
Make up and hairstyle

How to Incorporate the natural Essence for special events?
gala dresses
If your event is formal and during the day, you can wear long or midi dresses in high-quality linen or cotton, with elegant but simple cuts. They can include details such as simple lace, pleats or discreet embroidery.
For a more elegant or evening event, you can wear silk or natural satin dresses with a smooth and elegant cut. Imagine a beautiful dress made of these materials in white, light gold or soft blue, it would look totally amazing. Furthermore, you don’t need anything very ornate, since minimalist designs with details such as draping, simple necklines or delicate sleeves are enough for your essence to stand out without losing elegance.
suits and jumpsuits
- Depending on the occasion, you can also opt for a linen or cotton trouser suit with a moderate and comfortable silhouette. Straight-leg pants will look elegant and a blazer without excessive shoulder pads, with wooden or mother-of-pearl buttons will be enough to enhance the look.
- A more fun option is a jumpsuit with a sophisticated design. Look for a silhouette with a fitted waist, wide-leg pants, and a V or wrap neckline.
Colors and Prints
- A lot depends on the time and place where your event will be. But in general, I suggest choosing between neutral, soft and earthy colors or if you want something more striking, light gold, greens or blues that look natural, like a gem.
- And of course you can also use prints for gala events, such as delicate floral prints, fine stripes, brided or discreet embroidered details.
accesories
- For this type of event you can use a little more jewelry, although it is best to keep it natural and delicate.
- The best bags to complement special occasion looks are smaller than those you would use for casual occasions or for work. A clutch or handbag in natural materials such as linen, leather or silk in neutral tones can be that piece that completes your natural image.
- The choice of shoes is very important. Wear medium-heeled shoes or sandals, so you can walk or dance looking very stylish.
- On the other hand, if you don’t like to wear heels at all, some flat shoes with elegant details either in the silhouette or in subtle decorations will complement your outfit 100%.
Make up and hairstyle
- For these occasions we are looking for a natural but elegant look that can be achieved using a light foundation with a luminous finish, blush in natural tones and a touch of highlighter.
- Another important point is eye shadows in soft earth or gold tones, as well as subtle eyeliner and mascara. You can keep your lips in nude or soft pink tones, although this clearly depends on your taste and the occasion, it is not a fixed rule.
- Your hairstyle can also be simple but at the same time sophisticated, for example you can use low and loose buns, soft waves or delicate braids. Maintain the naturalness of your hair with hairstyles that highlight its texture and shape.
