When it comes to putting together an outfit, there are a few basic rules you can follow. The first fail-safe method is to choose pieces that are in the same colour family – for instance, you may create your outfit around blues, greens and turquoises.

Embroidered jackets are very on-trend now as well, and many come in beautiful shades.

No doubt that a crisp white shirt is your way into nailing effortless everyday style because they look great with almost anything. However the last thing you want is to appear repetitive in your style choices, even if it is a basic wardrobe staple.

A dress can be great for work but it’s also very one dimensional — especially a solid coloured one. So up your style game and layer on with a long vest. If you’ve got a patterned dress, a black or olive green vest is perfect!

Pencil skirts are a staple when it comes to office wear and there are plenty of stylish options. Your curves will be well accentuated in the form of leather, stripes or even subtle sexy lace!
