Black and white is an unmistakable colour combination. Wear this with a pair of red shoes for that little pop of colour.
The leather inserts definitely help to toughen up this schoolgirl-ish pinafore dress. To make it more appropriate for the office, pair with a white shirt underneath and a bold lip colour.
To avoid looking like you’re attending an ’80s-themed office party, modernise this dress with simple pumps and sleek, minimalist jewellery.
Layer it over a knit or wear it underneath a blazer, either way, this grey shift dress has plenty of style mileage to offer.

Keep your cool in a sleeveless A-line dress, or just throw it together with a blazer if you want more coverage.
Tweed can come off as stuffy, no thanks to the limited colours that it usually comes in. Take an unexpected route and inject some joy back into your workwear by picking a bright orange tweed dress instead of the usual blacks and greys.
For a more fun take on tweed, opt for a skater-style dress instead and enjoy a wider range of movements without feeling constricted!
