On Trend Work Wear
If you have ever worried about what to wear to the office, then a suit is almost always the easiest option. It can solve all sorts of worries like ‘will I look smart enough?’, ‘Is my outfit on trend?’. Whilst suits are nothing new they have been around for many years, it is quite easy to find an on trend style of suit. But more importantly with a suit your don’t need to wear a really on trend style. Some times it can look better to pick a classic style that really suits your body shape and then accessorise with some fashionable accessories to bring the whole look right on trend.
The most fashionable styles of suit at the moment are simple and minimalistic styles with clean cut lines. Colour schemes are also very much based around neutrals think black (which is always in fashion) but also grey, brown, taup and of course camel. Whilst camel is very on trend this winter it can be a difficult colour to wear a suit in if you want to minimise your top or lower half and darker neutrals can be much more flattering. By investing a simple capsule wardrobe consisting of a skirt, dress, jacket and trousers, you can easily vary your outfit each day.
A line and flared skirts are really on trend at the moment and look great with almost all styles of jacket. Try adding a pair of lady like heels and a handbag for a little bit of Mad Men style. A smart shift dress is also a great way to work the seasons lady like trend but also stick with a classic and flattering shape.
As far as trousers are concerned, straight cut are almost always the most stylish and flattering style. Whilst new styles and shapes of trousers will emerge each season like this years ankle skimming tailored style, in reality these styles can be difficult to wear and quite unflattering. Wearing a heel with your straight cut trousers, even if you can only walk in a slight heel will help to lengthen the leg.
Military jackets are also very fashionable at the moment and are great for making a style statement in the work place. Look for khaki colours, double breasted styles and details like metallic buttons and epaulets.
In order to bring your classic suit right up to date you can take your pick from a huge range of accessories for the season including scarves and jewellery. You can also add a fashion shirt, blouse or camisole top to your skirt or trouser and jacket combination. Choose from animal prints, richly coloured winter florals, berry tones, lace, polka dots, paisley and colourful abstract prints. Lady like jewellery like pearls and vintage style lockets look great too. How about pinning a colourful brooch or flower corsage to your lapel for a really stylish look.
Finally a brown or tan leather satchell style hand bag is not only incredibly trendy but also really versatile and will go with almost anything.
