If you’re looking for conference wear for women this year, maybe you’re a seasoned pro of academic conferences–or maybe it’s your first time attending! As someone who heads to several work conferences a year, sometimes I realize my conference staples could use a bit of an upgrade. So here are my favorite “cool girl” conference picks I would buy this fall!
Cool and edgy pants and skirts
I find that shirts are pretty easy for academic conferences–I throw on a crewneck sweater or a button up shirt pretty much every day. So a cool pair of pants is a nice upgrade that works with most everything I plan to pack.
These wrap pants are a showstopper (petite and tall sizes, up to women’s size 26)
This faux-suede skirt is my new fall favorite (and it’s about $30!)
This plaid skirt is so fun and funky at a great price!
Beautiful and practical conference shoes
The absolute key to conference wear for women is shoes you can actually walk in. But that doesn’t mean I want them to be boring! Here are several gorgeous pairs of conference flats I am eyeing:
These flats come in sooo many cool pastels
I love the unexpected color and texture here!
No one speak to me about these croc loafers
Conference tops for women
I’ve been patiently waiting for this wrap vest to go on sale. Imagine it with a black turtleneck underneath??
This mockneck would look super sharp under a blazer
Accessories make the outfit
If you want a small upgrade that’s easy to pack, accessories can make a big difference in your academic conference looks!
This geometric bracelet would look lovely over a long sleeve top
Imagine this pendant under a white button down
These earrings are so lightweight (and on sale for $20)
Sigh, my cart overflows. What are you on the hunt for for your next conference? Or–check out all my conference packing here!
