Tired Of Your Workwear? Freshen Up Your Looks In 7 Easy Steps

Hands up if you identify as one of the following:
1. Your workwear consists largely of black, navy, grey and cream colours
2. You don’t have a habit of accessorising for work, mostly because you’re not sure where to begin
3. Your shoe/bag game has been stuck in pause mode for a while now

If you identify with one of these, don’t worry, we’re not here to make you feel bad. Instead, use these fashion tips to encourage yourself to step outside of your comfort zone, and experiment with a look that’s just bold enough to turn heads, without getting you a stern look from HR. With enough practice, you’ll be the most stylish woman in the office.
