Whether you work in an office or from home, have a client facing or freelance role, the one thing we can all agree on about 9-to-5 dressing is that feeling good in your clothes can boost your productivity & confidence at work.
The idea of traditional “workwear” can box us into a style rut of black trousers and court shoes. But with the expanding popularity of smart casual work dress codes, there’s no reason you can’t embrace new colours, textures and silhouettes in a way that’s also office appropriate. This is exactly the reason why Amy approached us. For this session, she wanted to update her workwear with new easy looks that are fun and fashionable.
Workwear Capsule Wardrobe
Whether you work in a office with smart casual dress code or creative agency, these 6 looks we styled for Amy will make getting dressed in the morning a little easier.
For a functional working capsule, you want to make sure you have the foundation pieces perfected first starting with a staple white shirt. Wear it with jeans at the weekend or with these pleated trousers to bring a pop of colour to your midweek work look. Add a pair of metallic kitten heels, which are at least 70% cooler than a pair of black court shoes. We’re also convinced there isn’t a more sensible investment than a timeless blazer. You’ll wear pink tank like these with jeans, skirts, wide leg trousers…
Come summer, you’re going to be thankful you invested in a little black dress like this.
Here’s conclusive proof that you can wear a denim mini skirt to the office. Pair it with lilac tailored jacket & white shirt to keep the outfit smart.
Be even bolder and put away the blister plasters to wear easy mules at work.
If dressing for the office still feels like a novelty, with work events, face-to-face meetings and international travel ramping up ; make sure to contact us and fill your wardrobe with dream outfits perfectly tailored to you.
