How To Refresh Your Work Wardrobe For 2018

We’ve heard it all before – New Year, new me. And let’s face it, we all get tired of hearing it. But amongst all the failed New Year’s resolutions, there’s one you really should be sticking to. Read on to discover our top tips on rejuvenating your work wardrobe for 2018…

Plaid is predicted to be big this spring, and it’s a great textile to update your work wardrobe with in the New Year. From plaid overcoats to plaid wide-legged pants, it’s bound to become your go-to staple for everyday workwear. It’s easy to style too, looking smart against soft, woollen roll-necks and even pastel shades.

Try picking out a stand-out piece to be your plaid accessory. Whether this be a blazer or a skinny scarf, it’ll instantly add dimension and executive edge to your outfit. Naturally, we’d recommend keeping it sharp with a premium Italian leather Maxwell-Scott bag. Either The Paolo3 in dark brown or The Fiorella in wine would add a contrasting pop to the monochrome plaid.

So this fresh Spring trend may be more for the ladies, but it’s a really simple way to rejuvenate your work wardrobe with delicate shades. Lavender hues will instantly soften any outfit, infusing your work wardrobe with femininity and romantic tones. A cashmere lavender sweater is a great choice for the office, layered under a blazer or overcoat. Pair with cropped pants and white boots or even formal sneakers for a modern, youthful look. For gentleman, a lavender shirt or a necktie could easily inject your workwear with Spring vibes.

Not one for purple? Try our gorgeous, rose-toned Mirabella L as an essential work clutch or The Felice in petrol to keep your office accessories on-trend for Spring.

Cast aside the pale blue, white-washed denim pants that seem to be a permanent California trend, but are never appropriate for the office. Dark denim is having a moment, and it’s a great trend to incorporate into your work wardrobe. In darker hues, denim can look classy, well-put together and just the right level of business casual for the boardroom.

For her, a pair of skinny dark denim pants with color pop court heels and a pussy-bow blouse will look fresh and sophisticated. Top off with The Rosa for a chic and polished ensemble. For him, dark denim pants with a roll-neck and blazer set the tone for smart casual with a laid-back, executive edge. We’d go for The Santino L to complete the modern, effortless look.

Reimagine the classic trench coat this Spring to add business class to your work wardrobe. Diverging from rigid tailoring and embracing softer, floppy shapes, the trench coat is now widely worn in a range of different styles, shapes and fabrics. Most popular in sand or camel tones, the trench coat looks incredibly smart over an all-black suit or tailored dress. If you’re feeling daring with your fabrics, layer over a velvet blazer or cropped leather pants. The possibilities are endless.

A lighter alternative to the woollen topcoat, the trench coat is perfect for the cooler months of Spring. Pair with The Athenea leather tote bag or The DonniniS smart medical bag for a premium executive finish.
