Waking up, pouring a cup of coffee, maybe hopping in the shower, or hitting the gym; we all have our own unique routine when it comes to kicking off a new day. But one thing we all have no choice but to do is to get dressed for whatever lies ahead. With our constant daily to-do lists, it's not unusual to spend an entire day running from responsibility to responsibility, which is why in 2017, there's nothing more important than a wardrobe that works with you.

It will come as no surprise then that when it comes to the dos and don'ts of getting dressed, the women who inspire our style have one thing in common: They choose comfort and versatility when picking out their outfit.

Whether that means never wearing heels, or staying away from anything too restrictive, six chic women shared exactly what they do and don't do when getting ready. Armed with their advice, we hope getting up on the right side of the bed will feel just a little bit easier. 

Read on to learn the major morning dos and don'ts of stylish women, and then shop pieces to help you nail getting dressed at the beginning of the day…

Don't: Wear Anything That's Not Versatile Enough to Survive the Whole Day

If there's one word that describes Walker's morning outfit decisions, it's comfort. "I never feel uncomfortable. On a normal day, I may attend shows, but I also have buying meetings and I need to feel comfy." For Walker, this means she never starts the day in heels, "I can't work in high heels because my feet always hurt. I tend to wear platforms, and I love that sneakers are so on trend."

When it comes to getting dressed, Mejia has one important rule, "no visible panty lines!" And while picking the right underwear for the day ahead is crucial, she also notes she has one other big no-go when getting dressed. "Being too matchy-matchy (except for denim on denim)." 

For the stylist, dressing is all about dressing in pieces that make her comfortable. "I try not to dress too young," she says. "A good friend once said to me 'if you wore it the first time around, you shouldn't the second time around.' This doesn't apply to clothing that has a nod to a trend but it can't be too literal in design… it won't work." She also notes that when it comes to dressing for work, she avoids pieces that are restrictive or uncomfortable, "it will just irritate me within an hour."

When she's getting ready in the morning, Sabharwal says there's one thing she'll never do, "put my makeup on before I'm fully dressed." And when it comes to picking out what to wear, she says unless she's off to the gym, shiny leggings are to be avoided. "Keep a little to the imagination," she notes. "And if you are going to do it, make sure to avoid underwear lines."

Since her busy schedule leaves her constantly on the go, Lee knows that it's all about clothing that can get you through anything. "Entrepreneurship has left a lot less time for everything else in my life, so versatility and comfort became increasingly important filters for my personal style," she says. "I avoid anything that distracts me from focusing on what's important; so I gravitate toward beautiful clothes that I can live and work in."

When it comes to morning rituals, the designer has one that's pretty darn important, "I never get dressed without checking the weather forecast." Nonoo notes that walking to work every day means that being prepared is key to making through the day unscathed. "Every good New Yorker lives by the weather forecast or faces the consequences at their own peril," she says.

Landing a dream job is something we talk about a lot here at Who What Wear. From the dos and don'ts of what to say in front of your new boss, to what to wear on your first day, it's a minefield out there.

What better person to consult on the topic of dream jobs than our resident stylist Marissa Webb, who has herself landed more than a few: designer at her own namesake brand and creative director of Banana Republic, just to name a couple. We got her to share her wisdom on the style skills every woman should master in order to land her dream job.

"Often we learn these skills while on the job," Webb reminds us. "But that doesn't mean that there aren't a few skills worth mastering before you ever walk through the door!"

Keep scrolling for Marissa Webb's top style skills you need to learn before you land your dream job!

Understand what is work appropriate for your industry, but find subtle ways to stand out and show your unique personality.

If we don't feel comfortable in our clothes, it really shows in the way we carry ourselves. Figure out what makes you feel extra confident, and stick to it.

Master the power suit! And don't put limitations on it; it doesn't have to be a boring black suit that you hate. You should love it and feel confident in it. Add your own interesting accents to make the look yours. 

Learn how to mask all the unattractive things we need to carry back and forth to work. (Those fabulous "bag spills" you see in magazines don't really exist.) Look for a fun, chic tote that adds to your look.

Learn how to pull it together quickly for the days when you're short on time. Think about the go-to items you know will always come to your rescue. Blazers are consistently my go-to; I toss them over almost anything for polish. 

Learn how to walk in heels! They might not be something you wear to work every day, but if a time comes when you need to dress up, it's a lot easier if you have already mastered the skill of walking in them.
