How we're wearing it
TAKE A BOW
An oversized bow adds drama in an instant. Here you can go full power bow, have a half tie, or leave untied for an ‘after work’ feel.
LEG DAY
Who likes short shorts? We do! Because we never actually said this was to wear to the office. This trend is about taking style cues from the boardroom and making them work for you.
CAPRI FUN
Fast-track your fashion with an easy pair of wear-with-anything Capris. We styled them with black lace for drama, but these go well with a boxy tee or bright shirt.

Stylist
Can the pencil skirt go to work, or is it strictly evening?
+
-
Both. Tights and a blazer for the office, bare legs and heels once the laptop's shut.
How else could I style the PU leather jacket?
+
-
We’d choose something soft underneath, like a blouse or slogan tee, so the jacket gets to be the hard edge instead of competing with everything. Then pair with jeans or a satin skirt.
Gold hardware and a black blazer – is that too much for daytime?
+
-
Not if styled with white or denim. Keep make-up simple and it will look sophisticated and not too showy.
