Easy Ways To Style Your Work Clothes For The Weekends

Published March 20, 2018

Most people would cringe at the thought of wearing their work wear pieces for the weekends. After all, who wants to be stuck wearing structured blazers, fitted pants and stuffy collared shirts seven days a week? Plus, wearing a thick blazer to brunch in Singapore’s perpetual summer just isn’t a practical idea.

However, Marks & Spencer‘s Spring 2018 launch will make you rethink all that because they create timeless pieces that you can wear any time, any where. Not just for the office, the new collection boasts modern classics that transcend seasons and the workplace. Plus, being easy to mix and match, you can maximize their style mileage and wear them in a variety of different ways.

What’s more, Marks & Spencer clothes are always an investment thanks to nifty innovations like No Peep designs, Crease Resistant technology and StayNEW technology — you no longer have to worry about your clothes losing colour and dipping in quality over time. Best of all, Marks & Spencer offers sizes of up to UK20 for most of their collections and the Spring 2018 one is no different — just another reason to invest in the quality clothes available at Marks & Spencer.

Here are some easy and versatile pieces from the collection that you can definitely integrate into your wardrobe for both work, play and special occasions.
