‘Work’ it!

These must-have workwear accessories will have you master the art of desk-side dressing

Reams have been written about the transformative power of work-dressing. For years, movies and shows have depicted the ‘makeover’ trope watch the protagonist’s life change quickly once she’s dressed in power shoulders, knee high boots and the quintessential work tote. Now we can’t promise that promotion at work, but we very well can equip you to look and feel like your most powerful self, channelling the “protagonist of your own movie” energy. 

While we love a tailored skirt to girl-boss around the office- it’s important to acknowledge that office dressing is incomplete without the right accessories. A balanced mix of classic jewellery and on-trend belts, timeless watches and totes sized just right ensure that you mean business everytime you step into that boardroom. 

Ahead, we’ve put-together the accessories you need to master the art of desk-side dressing.

 Eye-wear

One of the most underrated work accessories have got to be your glasses. Update your everyday pair for a cat-eye frame to really make an impact or try on a new colour to change things up. We’re implementing a strict ‘No boring office-wear’ policy
