Before purchasing any items, remember to ask yourself these two important questions... 'can I see myself wearing this outfit again?' And if so 'how can I style it?' Below, I have compiled three fashion-forward outfits as an alternative to the common suits which can be worn in the workplace.
Prints
Prints are top of the trend list and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon! Sleeveless shift dresses are one of the best items of clothing to wear for work as you can style it differently by adding a bolero with a skinny belt, a polo neck for winter or a white shirt which is what I've chosen to do. If you're brave enough, add a contrasting necklace which I have done. Finish it off with a pair of simple nude court heels, which will keep the attention on the dress.

Metallics
I chose to create this outfit based on the footwear. I opted for a pair of silver metallic pointed heels as an alternative to the common court heels to start off this outfit. Not only is metallic a trend which never seems to date, the shoe also features a low heel which makes it practical and most importantly comfortable to wear. I chose to pair it with grey narrow cigarette pants which gives the illusion of longer legs. Add a white crisp shirt with a statement necklace and finish it off with a coloured blazer for a twist. In this case, I selected a cobalt blue blazer which instantly gives my clients complexion a health glow.

Tweed
Add a twist to your usual bootleg trousers, perfect for those with Triangle or a Full hourglass body shapes as it helps to balance out the hips. Tweed usually is considered as informal wear as it was commonly used for outdoor activities, however it creates a much smarter look teamed up with a pair of pointed court heels in the same colour. Complete with a silk white shirt with rolled up sleeves for a relaxed look. Don't forget the accessories!
