4. Keep 5 key workwear looks on rotation
No matter how long ago, we all fell into that post-school trap of revelling in the no-uniform freedom before swiftly regretting the days that we cursed our un-fashionable attire when we can’t find something to wear to work. In answer to this age-old conundrum, we suggest creating your own version of a work ‘uniform’. Take the nature of your job into account, your seniority and what message it is that you want to convey to your colleagues. For example, a well-cut suit says power woman, but a well-cut suit in the season’s freshest silhouettes (read culottes and double-breasted blazers for SS17) can work just as well for those in more creative roles. Smart denim and a classic blazer works both with a silk blouse and heels or a cotton tee and flats depending on your schedule. Ultimately, this idea links back to creating your own signature look, but here it takes an office-friendly spin. Create up to five failsafe work looks and keep them on rotation throughout the week so you’ll never have to think about what to wear to the office again.
