It shouldn’t be that hard given that your wardrobe is fit to burst and you spent Saturday melting plastic at the sales. So why do we find work day outfits so hard to put together?
Here is my guide to office wear that works.
Keep it sleek.
Straight leg trousers are a great staple. Cigarette pants are not as casual as skinny jeans but not as frumpy as black bootleg trousers. Slimming and ultra flattering opt for a high-waisted pair to be on trend or a cropped length for a summery twist.
Top it off
The addition of a jacket will smarten up any outfit and the high street is FULL of great options for summer which will take you regular office trousers or jeans to new levels. Feeling brave? Go for one in a statement colour which will make your work-day look pop!
Get shorty
Summer is a great time to experiment with tailored shorts. Professional and trendy - shorts are a great look if you don’t mind baring some leg (and your office dress code allows) this suit from quirky French fashion brand, The Kooples is the perfect way to pull of shorts at work and a great day-to-evening outfit.
Think in colour
Wearing colour to work isn’t a crime, even in the most sober office environment, and stepping away from blacks and greys will make you stand out from the crowd. Try out navy or nude tones for your basics and add splashes of coral, cobalt and brights for your accent items.
Easy dressing
Dresses are the perfect throw on and go item for work days. No need to think about matching items, these all in one pieces are super easy, especially in summer. Dresses in jersey material are versatile and comfortable for all day in the office, opt for hems that sit on the knee to keep a professional but feminine look.
Shoes matter
Block heels are a no-no and tottering on too-high heels never makes for a professional impression. Opt for pretty as a picture flats which compliment your outfit, or if you need a bit of height aim for a 3 inch heel or a built in platform which will lend you a bit of stability. Nude shoes are a bit hit this season and will be a perfect addition to your summer work wardrobe.
