Dressing for the office can be a complicated affair as you try to balance style with comfort. Stylist Thora Vadimarsdottir showcases to fashionistas that keeping things simple with slick one-colored suits and playing with textures is a great way to look great while at work. Valdimarsdottir dressed Knudsen in a variety of simple suede, wool and cotton suits that were tailored and relatively plain in embellishments. The focus was more so on the structure of the garments that showed off Knudsen's flattering figure. To complement the look, makeup artist Kolbrun Ran kept Knudsen's skin simple and matte.
