What a drag, winter is rearing its ugly head!!

For you, this may mean dull, dreary and drab, right?

Wrong!

Read on for tips on what good quality basics should be in your wardrobe.

TIMELESS SHIFT DRESS: A tailored dress could be worn on its own or dressed up with a blazer, heels and accessories . A black or charcoal dress worn just below the knee is your go-to dress.

THE BLAZER: A tailored blazer changes an outfit in an instant. A twist on the classic blazer is the peplum style or velvet, which adds femininity and shape.

THE NUDE HEEL: This neutral colour goes with all of Autumn’s colours (jewel tones, navy, maroon, gold). A pointed heel or slightly round toed court shoe with a comfortable heel height is the best option.

PENCIL SKIRT: The pencil skirt is the power skirt! It compliments every body shape and is chic and easy to wear. A geometric stripe makes a bold statement on a black pencil skirt, alternatively, the oxblood edition is right on-trend.

THE WHITE SHIRT: This is a must-have in a working wardrobe. Dress it up with a blazer or dress it down with denims. A white shirt always looks great with a pencil skirt or pants.

TAILORED PANTS: Flat front, ankle-crop pants are the most flattering and versatile. Detail such as a tuxedo stripe give your work pants a fresh update. If you’re daring, try a maroon or forest green color.

THE BALLET PUMP: Sometimes heels aren’t an option, so classic flat pumps are the next best thing. Refresh your shoes collection with shades and textures – like velvet or animal print.

CLASSIC TRENCH COAT: Chilly or rainy weather? The iconic belted trench coat ensures that you’re covered – both functionally and stylishly! This Winter it is reinvented with leather finishes.

THE TOTE BAG: This handbag can be worn in black leather or as an accessory in a trendy colour or print. Delicate rose gold hardware adds a new level of chic to this office staple.

JERSEY: A thin jersey or cardigan is great for unpredictable weather. They can be used to add a pop of colour or to inject a bit of personality into an otherwise bland work outfit.
