There are few things that dissipate the summer holiday high like relegating your favourite sundress to the back of the wardrobe to make way for workwear. It doesn’t matter how warm the weather at home is, some clothes, like those micro shorts and that accidentally see-through white dress, just won’t cut it in the office. Compensate this downer by upping your professional attire. Rest assured, the 9-to-5 codes aren’t as strict as they once were. For instance, a shirt dress now makes the same impact as a skirt suit might have once upon a time. Similarly, backless mules resurrect the sophistication of court heels, without the pain. If you’re in need of a pick-me-up then inject colour and print into the office space with the addition of accessories, like a printed silk scarf. But the easiest way to feel motived? Team your day-to-day favourites with a fabulous holiday reminder, like a basket-weave bag. As long as it’s not covered in sand (or too knocked about) it will fly even in this serious space.
