Working in an office can be a bore, and showing up for your 8 a.m. meeting in the middle of a dark and dreary winter morning can be downright depressing. In a rush you throw on the same black trouser suit you wear every day, but what you don’t realize is that your drab wardrobe is only adding to your misery. Feeling sexy isn’t just reserved for the weekends, and it certainly isn’t unattainable within the realm of work attire. Here are three red hot looks that will revitalize your work life while turning heads in the process:
1. Long sleeve dress with dark coloured heels
You’ll never believe how free you can feel when you shed the suit for a simple dress and heels. It may not be for everyone, but I love this asymmetric hem long sleeve dress from Sandwich. The knit button top will remind you of your favourite henley, and the unique hem line is just long enough to be professional while allowing you to show off your legs. Just be sure to pair it with a muted pair of dark heels – the dress says everything you need to say.
2. Belted sweater jacket, wool stripe trouser, light coloured heels
An embellished sweater jacket makes a bold statement – it’s hip, modern, and ideal for your chilly office. Look for one in grey and pair it with stylish striped trousers for a look that says you’re serious about work and fashion. Before you head out, finish the outfit with a pair of white or cream coloured heels; this is supposed to be fun, after all, and you don’t want to tread too close to your previous bored self.
3. Pleated mini dress, black tights, ankle boots
This look is youthful and fresh – the perfect antidote for winter office doldrums. Grab a pleated mini dress (they’re in vogue!) and wear it with black tights and dark ankle boots for a fun and functional appearance. The short dress cuts a striking figure, and when revealed beneath a wool car coat from Fenn Wright Manson, it’ll feel like you’re opening a Christmas present. This is office fashion at its finest!
