Pussy-bow blouses have made a comeback and there’s no cooler way to wear them than with a statement print. Taking its inspiration from seventies’ styles, this geometric design retains its relevance thanks to its bold fuchsia hues and neat blouson sleeves that are cropped just above the wrists. Team yours with tapered trousers in classic navy, elongating your silhouette with simple wedge heels.
Polka dots have been a prominent part of our wardrobes since last season and the trend looks set to continue as we move into AW18. Want to make them feel more office-appropriate? Swap oversized retro prints for small-scale formations found on smart yet simple shapes. Borrow from the boys with a belted trouser and a pair of loafers, and finish with a structured work bag in versatile tan.
Timeless and sophisticated, the shirt dress holds perennial power in our office style line-up. Bring it up-to-date with a graphic geometric print and an asymmetric hemline that falls slightly below the knees – we like it best worn with block heels for an easy desk-to-dinner transition. Complete the look with a belted tote bag in a tonal shade.
Geometric prints don’t have to feel overpowering. Designed in forest green and navy, this patterned piece makes a statement without shouting too loud. Tuck it into the waistband of a navy midi skirt, and complement its polished palette with matching accessories.
Comfortable and chic in equal measure, the jersey dress is a key workwear basic that can be easily elevated – and it’s all down to the right print. Patterned with spots in off-white and navy, this soft, flattering midi feels effortlessly smart, while its asymmetric hemline lends a directional twist. Wear yours with a tonal cross-body bag and espadrille heels in nude.
