As we move into summer the tribulations of hitting the right mark with your workwear wardrobe become an impossible obstacle course. Find a skirt that’s not too short but also not liable to be set free by a gust of wind (looking at you Storm Hector). Hunt out a breathable cotton shirt that doesn’t gape or look sheer under the glare of the office’s strip lighting. And, if you’re feeling brave take a chance on a pair of shorts long enough to not cause chatter around the water cooler but not so matronly you question the point in them. Excuse the language, but it’s a mindf*ck.
Mum-to-one Pandora Sykes hits the right note with a blazer and breezy dress. The addition of Shrimp’s cult Antonia bag adds a touch of excitement to this commute-friendly ensemble. Meanwhile, Lucy Williams takes a chance on head-to-toe white. Not only does this crisp palette set off her tan but it makes her golden accessories the focus of attention. Carmen Grace Hamilton lifts her Rejina Pyo belted trousers with a Rixo shirt. Her polka dot top touches on a key trend of the season but in a sensible, meeting-friendly fashion.
