If we have to go to work, we might as well look good doing it. Take a different approach to your 9-5 wardrobe routine and layer your workwear like a pro to get the most out of your corporate clothes. Forget the notions of stiff and starched separates – add interest to boring boardroom attire and put the style back into your office looks by incorporating new season styles in clever new ways.
Have a favourite pinafore dress you like to wear? Breathe new life into it by layering a shirt underneath. The Stripe Bardot Top by Miss Selfridge wouldn’t normally fit our idea of office-appropriate, however with a chic dress layered over the top, this look becomes instantly wearable at the workplace.
Not sure whether you could wear a short hemline to the office? Add a pair of wide-legged pants to the mix and your problem is solved. The best part – you can still wear the dress on other occasions and now you’ve also got a great pair of pants to add to your rotation.
Bored of the same old collared shirt? Shake up your look with a belt that will also add shape to your silhouette. We can’t get enough of the corset belt trend this season – it’s an accessory that will work with multiple styles from button-up blouses to tees and tunics.
With the idea of layering in mind, it’s easy to break up tired workwear looks without having to start from scratch.
