Workwear can (and should) be so much more than a white shirt paired with a black pencil skirt, tights and bland-as-can-be pair of courts. Mix things up, go for colour, tailored pieces and don't be afraid to accessorise.
Here are 10 great ensembles to keep in mind for work next week...
1. Drape a leather jacket over your shoulders like Thithi or add it to any formal workwear look for that edgy feel:
2. Go for an all-white outfit (down to the shoes) and pair it with a bulky black or forest green coat:
3. Add some arm candy like gold cuffs and bracelets:
4. Opt for a pussy-bow blouse:
5. Add an animal-print, fitted coat to a plain ensemble:
6. Go nautical in a striped top and a navy or jean skirt. Add ankle boots and a black boyfriend jacket for a more formal work environment:
7. Clash black and white prints:
8. Add a statement necklace:
9. Or add interesting rings like Lena Dunham:
10. Layer, layer, layer! Combining beige and caramel colours with blacks and charcoals always works wonderfully. Just look at how chic these three South African beauty eds look:
