Make the dash from the boardroom to the bar in a versatile outfit that blurs the line between corporate and chic. Whether it’s an impromptu drink with colleagues or a dinner date after your final meeting of the day, you’ll feel confident that your look hits just the right note. Here are two easy ways to make it work for you:
For women
Pick a print
Enliven your look with one eye-catching element, like the fun polka dot print stamped on our Georgie Short Sleeve Blouse. While the classic cut reads corporate, the whimsical spotty design loosens things up. Styled with a skinny pant, the result is smart enough for work and ideal for dinner out. Throw on some heels and a pair of statement earrings and you’re ready for cocktails.
Choose your hue
Soften sharp lines with a splash of colour. A work-ready blouse in a striking shade will temper tailoring after hours. Our Matt Jersey V Neck Short Sleeve Top comes in a range of bold tones and its fluid shape makes it easy to dress up or down. Tuck it into a streamlined pencil skirt and add a matching jacket for meetings. When evening comes, leave your blazer at the office and add a delicate pendant to complement the flattering neckline.
For men
Layer up
The easiest way to elevate your everyday pants-and-a-tee? Just add a jacket. This is no place for strict suiting, though. Look for a sporty, single-breasted blazer cut from cotton twill that brings a more relaxed vibe and matches back perfectly with classic chinos. Wear yours over a soft v-neck and cuff the sleeves for an effortless finishing touch after hours.
Be suit smart
Sharp tailoring will see you through from breakfast meetings to client dinners – it’s all in the fit. Seek out a slim cut that feels clean and modern in colour-blocked black or navy for the ultimate in versatility. When it comes to fabric, think outside the box. Our Ponte de Roma double knit offers softness and stretch, delivering a more laidback vibe that accommodates a new way of working. Match the Half Lined Jacket with the Slim Fit Pant for a co-ordinating look. Style with a crisp gingham shirt to bring a hint of personality when you’re out of the office.
With a little styling know-how plus the right pieces, navigating that tricky desk-to-dinner transition becomes straightforward. Let colour, print and clever layers define the dress code for effortless elegance, day or night. Update your workwear wardrobe from our cleverly designed range right here.
