The easiest way to update a tired business wardrobe is to invest in new blazers that will go with the majority of your clothes, such as dresses and trousers. Stick to the classic colours – so that it gives you versatility and allows you to mix and match.
In the New Year sales, I grabbed a couple of bargains from Zara – personally I don’t feel their expensive jackets are worth the price, as the quality isn’t great compared with the likes of Reiss or Whistles, but when Zara jackets are in the sale then I feel I’m getting a good deal!
I’ve opted for this classic black, cotton mix. It’s easy to wear with all my work clothes and I can style with jeans too! Pictured here with my new leopard print scarf from H&M and my lovely gold watch, Marc by Marc Jacobs.
I’m a huge fan of tweed; not only because I love the texture, but I find it gives me a lot more warmth. I love the colour of this jacket, it’s not quite as flexible as the black, but it looks fabulous with weekend wear too. Pictured here with a gorgeous top I picked up in French Connection, again in the sales. The shoes are not current season, from NEXT.
