Monday mornings can usually leave you feeling stumped and uninspired when it comes to picking out your outfit for the day.

So rather than slump into another boring grey skirt suit, add some excitement to the start of your week with an updated denim blouse! Stay on trend with details like a tuxedo collar or exaggerated cuffs, and stay office-appropriate with darker washes.

Show ’em that you mean business with a new way of wearing your black blazers.

Retire your traditional boot-cuts and experiment with raw hems and new silhouettes and shapes. Then, tuck your blazer in, stack a couple of rings and rock up to the office like you run the show.

Hump day means that the weekend is nearing, so you can afford to start pulling out options that are a little playful.

Case in point? A patchwork dress. Mixing different denim washes and colours actually helps to give it a directional twist and can be worn to work when accessorised properly. Plus, a textured turtleneck equals an instant style upgrade.

Given that most clubs run Ladies’ Nights on Thursdays, hit your favourite watering hole in a look that is grown-up and flirty at the same time.

Start with a statement skirt, and ground flouncy frills by adding a denim corset.

Casual Fridays usually allow you to wear your jeans to work, but step it up on notch further by going for a dressy top to contrast the casualness of your denim.

Just because it’s the weekend, doesn’t mean that you should slip into your PJs when you head out. Slouchy denim can be an incredibly comfy option, and it’ll flatter most body shapes and sizes.

Summery gingham also help add a layer of texture and depth to your look, so you can go on Sun-dates without feeling constrained.
