LOOK THE
BUSINESS

This is the traditional time of year to start upping your look for work. With a nod to the hottest catwalk trends for autumn/winter 2015, here’s how to look chic, whatever job you do

RETRO LUXE

The Seventies trend is still big for autumn, which is why it’s a brilliant investment. It may not be an obvious office look, but a work-appropriate nod to the decade – from a rollneck top to wide-leg trousers – is guaranteed to make an impact

WRAP IT UP
For a chic alternative to the blazer, cover up
in a wrap. It’s ultra-stylish and a clever way
to ward off chilly office air-conditioning

WEAR THE TROUSERS

Wide-leg pants and a soft-knit
rollneck are a relaxed alternative to
tailoring. If your office is too smart
for trainers, wear with power heels

A bold bag is a brilliant way to add
a punch of colour to any outfit

THE FINER DETAILS

Accessories matter. Give your look an
edge with a cool leather rucksack (ideal
for your commute), and complete with
statement earrings for added polish

SEEING RED

Black may be the traditional office choice, but this season
designers have issued a code red. Channel pioneers of
‘power red’ from Cindy Crawford to Hillary Clinton and
wear it head-to-toe, or embrace the colour-block trend
