15 Pieces To Help You Rethink Your Work Wardrobe

It’s pretty easy to get into the habit of wearing the same five things to work every week... A simple pair of black trousers and a rotating selection of muted sweaters. We’re guilty as charged, too. But, right now, it’s pay review season, which means:

1. You need to dig deep and find the grit to demand what you want and deserve.

2. Your boss is watching and judging your every move.

In other words, we need to step it up a notch. Ditch the uniform and find a series of outfits that spell out how seriously you take your career. Behold, five outfits that require minimum effort but deliver maximum polish. Nabbing inspiration from editors Pernille Tiesbaek and Katherine Ormerod, we’ve managed to create a series of outfit concepts ripe for every office eventuality. For freelancers looking to step it up a notch during terse contract negotiations, try smart, stiff, indigo double-denim. For budding creatives attempting to impress, invest in tartan trousers and lace-up ankle boots. If your profession requires a suit, look to Mango who have reinvigorated skirts suits for the season.

Ahead is everything you need to step up your 9.to-5 wardrobe.
