I personally love the challenge of getting dressed for work everyday, to the point where sometimes I find it more enjoyable than dressing on a weekend. Although my office isn’t too corporate these days, and I only work part-time, I still find a thrill in dressing for work! Here’s some tips for styling your perfect work outfit and bringing it into the ‘now’.
- Wear (long) culottes – they add a new twist to the standard black pant or skirt. They’re discreetly sexy but office appropriate at the same time.
- Choose an oversized shirt which isn’t too slim line or structured – the right shirt can make your look. I personally love an oversized shirt which can double for the weekend. Let your boyfriend blazer add structure.
- Add a gold statement necklace. Gold jewellery is so striking, and when you’re in a corporate office you need to play up the details. I love this statement gold collar necklace for that reason.
- Make up your own suit. Add two pieces together from different brands – like a jacket from one brand and pants from the other. It will feel fresh and modern – and not so ‘matchy-matchy’. I really love a boyfriend blazer for the non-traditional approach.
- Bag a pair of statement heels. There’s nothing quite like putting on those power heels and walking out the door – a good pair of shoes can change your mood to ‘boss-lady’ in an instant!
