Work Wear with a Twist - Part 1

For the next few posts I'll be tackling workwear with a twist. As with most aspects of life, a splash of colour is generally the best way to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Though this can of course be kinda tricky when you've got fussity office managers breathing down your neck. Though if there's too much breathing I would recommend a chat with HR.

I digress. Plaids and pastels always work, or if you still need to stay ultra-conservative, a bright coat which can be removed if anyone deems it too fruity.

Edgy, asymmetric tailoring also provides interest but tends to stay well in the confines of the office.

I'll begin my foray into office wear with the somewhat indulgent end of the market, including pieces by Diane von Furstenberg, Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney. As always, click the images for the link to the shop.
