Work clothes

Update your working wardrobe with our fashion expert's advice. Choose strong separates for your capsule wardrobe

Follow our rules to make sure you look the business while you're at work:

Suits
Invest in the best suit you can afford. It's your key piece and says the most about you.

Tailoring
If you splash out on tailoring, the rest of your outfit will look more expensive.

Separates
With an expensive suit, you can afford to mix and match separates from the high street.

Keep colours neutral and choose one highlight colour. This season it has to be purple.

Hide flat pumps in your handbag for when your feet need a rest.
