Looking groomed and sophisticated on a daily basis takes effort and a bit of clever planning. But, with a few key pieces that are seasonless, simple, and can be dressed up or down, you’ll always have something fabulous to wear.
I went shopping online at style36 and found these five stunners
I love the simple shape of this Closet shift dress, R799, and the subtle leopard print. Also, the three-quarter sleeves gives it a very office-appropriate look. Buy it here
What I like about this Revelation Fashion twist top in grey, R499, is that it works equally well for a smart day look (pair it with the pencil skirt below) but, can also be worn for an evening out. The sizing is European: 38=small, 40=M, 42=L- Buy it here
I’m crazy about this Suzaane Heyns Petal pencil skirt, R1129. Pair it with a white or black shirt – or even a cammy and smart jacket. Buy it here
A tailored black blazer works with just about anything and gives any look a pulled-together, polished feel. I like the simple cut and on-tred collarless style of this one by Forever New. Buy it here
Every woman need a simple black shift dress. This one by London Hub, R799 has a waffle print on the fabric and a sexy, yet subtle cut out back detail. It will work for both day & evening (just add sexy heels, clutch bag and a bold accessory) and can be worn throughout the year. Buy it here
And the perfect office appropriate fragrance? Estee Lauder Modern Muse, from R635 for a 30ml EDP, wins hands down. It’s fresh, elegant and not at all overwhelming. Buy it here
