Office hours are long, busy, and often stressful, so it’s nice to have something to look forward to once 5:30 hits. Whether you’re socialising with family, friends, or a date, you want to wow. However, it is pretty impractical to go home and change first. Here is how to take your look from desk chair to bar stool, without added stress along the way...
- As you get ready for work in the morning, choose an outfit staple that can easily be dressed up or down, like denim. For a great pair of black jeans, head to Matalan. With jeans from £10 a pair, there’s every reason to treat yourself.
- If your office loos are anything like ours, the people to cubicle ratio leave little room, but many elbows. It is battle to get to a mirror, and your only choices of weapon are wipes, deodorant and perfume. Instead, turn these weapons on yourself to freshen up at your desk with a spray to the body and wipe to the face.
- If you’ve (somehow) bagged a prime position in front of the mirror, use it to your advantage. Now is the time to touch up your eyeliner, and pat some foundation on to that T-zone. A bright, or sultry, lipstick can transform your look, so ensure you’ve slicked on some colour.
- Accessories are essential to take your outfit from day to night. Adding a statement necklace, or sparkling drop earrings, will lift your look from office drab to cocktail fab. The high street does great statement pieces; Matalan have a fab selection in their new Spring/Summer collection.
- Finally, you can step out of your flats, into some heels and strut out that lift ready for the night ahead.
Matalan have released 'The Edit’, a fashion-led curated collection across all departments, with everything you could possibly need to take your look from day to night and back to day again! You can find The Edit both instore and online.
