Brighten up your office wardrobe
With the onset of summer comes lots of retail therapy (it’s holiday time, it would be rude not to!) However, whilst you’re busy shopping for bikinis and sunshades, don’t forget to spare a moment for your office wardrobe…
Amidst preparations to get your suitcase summer ready, your work clothes are patiently waiting for a much needed makeover, so treat them to the love they need!
Unsure where to start? From women’s boots to smart blazers, here’s how you can sport office chic in 2013.
Business Beauty
Just because you’re at work doesn’t mean that your wardrobe has to suffer. It’s all too tempting to pair black trousers with a plain tee (convenient and comfy, what’s not to love?) But the truth is outfits such as these lack personality. For this reason, we want you to embrace a little business beauty.
OK, so you might not have to leave your desk for eight hours, but impressions do count. And office sophistication is so easy to achieve! Take this Sweat Blazer by Flashlights for instance. Combine this trendy little number with navy denim jeggings, an oversized tee and some statement Patent Ballet Pumps, and your work ensemble will be more than ready for summer.
Suit Up
Within the business world, sometimes there’s just no avoiding it; you will need to dress to impress! Be it a company meeting or client pitch, it’s important to look the part. Our advice? Suit up. Every professional’s wardrobe needs something tailored, so check out this Trouser Suit by Vivien Caron.
An effortlessly stylish sharp black suit, this ensemble is simple yet exudes confidence. And although the androgynous trend is a hot look for this season, you could always give your outfit a feminine touch with some pretty nude Patent Court Shoes and a matching Bow Blouse. Perfect.
Dress Down Fridays
The highlight of everyone’s working week, dress down Fridays! However there’s no denying it; the pressure’s still on to look good. Yes we’d all love to roll straight out of bed and rock our PJs to work, but sadly most employers won’t approve. But never fear, we’ve got the next best thing!
You want something smart-casual, comfortable and chic; like these Stretch Jeans! Ideal for those rainy days that flavour our British summer, these jeans are a definite staple for the upcoming months. Paired with some Western Style Ankle Boots and this sweet Crinkled Blouse, and you’ll definitely be the fashion envy of all your work colleagues.
