Work your work wear

Work your work wear

When it comes to work wear, many of us may address such pieces as the drab parts of our wardrobes, however it doesn’t have to be that way!  This season’s work wear can be just as much a part of your wardrobe as your evening attire!

Take this season’s hot new must-see movie ‘Bad Teacher’ for example and look to Cameron Diaz for a few style notes when it comes to work wear.  The leading lady certainly shows us that by no means are your work attire pieces boring!  Heels are not just for an evening out on the tiles and can be teamed with a knee length skirt in order to create a sophisticated and sultry office outfit that will double up as evening outfit for drinks with the girls after work!

Work wear isn’t just about donning a pair of flat shoes, a plain shirt and a pair of black trousers, you can be just as stylish in the office as you can out of the office.  Add a bright belt and fitted floral belt to your every day suit.

Fitted blazers never seem to go out of fashion, why not team one over a vest top and a pair of smart linens as appose to your usual suit trousers and shirt.  This is a great low-key look that is more relaxed and the best bit, it goes just as well with sandals as it does with pumps.

Accessories are also a great part of every outfit and can really work to add an instant hit of colour to any outfit.  Try turquoise or white if you have a tan!
