Sometimes you just need a little wardrobe spruce up, pieces getting too old to wear to work or you just need a few new pieces to keep it looking fresh. Here are our top tips on keeping your office wardrobe in tip-top shape and ready for whatever your workday might bring.
Invest in your basics
Although you might think you just wear a suit to work and that might be a beautiful suit you’ve also got to make sure you look after your basics as well. For example your button-up shirts and undershirts. Whether you wear a T-shirt or vest under your shirt you should make sure you invest in good quality products that will serve you well and last a long time. So you might not need a new suit but maybe some shirts and layering pieces are what you need to spruce up your work wardrobe.
Don’t forget about colour
A key thing about making sure you always love your work wardrobe and why you might be thinking you need to spruce it up might be because you are lacking colour. In the modern office environment, your colour doesn’t have to stick to blue, black or grey. Maybe it’s time to throw in some brightly coloured shirts or accessories to make you fall in love with your wardrobe again. You should enjoy dressing whether that’s for the office or for the weekend.
Accessories
A simple way to add a bit of interest to your outfit has got to be adding accessories. A stylish watch, cufflinks, beautiful shoes, a hand-crafted leather bag or a luxury silk tie. These are all simple but excellent ways to make you love your wardrobe more, they can easily lift a boring look into a stylish one.
Fit
Maybe you have fallen out of love with your work wardrobe because it doesn’t fit how you want it to anymore, you could have lost or gained weight. A great way of making you love those pieces again is to have them altered by your tailor to make them fit just right once again. It’s definitely worth enquiring because it won’t cost you as much as replacing the piece like your suit but it will definitely spruce up your wardrobe again.
Mix and match
A top tip from us would also be don’t feel like you need to stick strictly to your suits, you can really easily mix and match and use your jackets as blazers and trousers as smart casual pants, try and see past the matching sets and see each piece as an individual.
Sprucing up your office wardrobe is all about investing in quality key pieces and basics with your personality intertwined but still with a professional feel.
