“We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.” Yves Saint Laurent
Leaving the house in a confidence-boosting outfit can make you feel capable of taking on the world. I love to dress in a way that makes me feel professional, comfortable and self-assured – whether I’m heading to the office or grabbing drinks during happy hour.
As much as I love to look professional, I also like to get creative. And there are many ways to incorporate some of the season’s best trends and keep things work-appropriate.
Spring 2020 is full of interesting little tricks like asymmetric cuts, minimalistic bows, intriguing slits, or flirty frills … all of which can be incorporated with 9-to-5 staples.
Ahead, I break down two perfect work outfits, straight from London based brand Closet London, to inspire your office wardrobe. Whether you’re searching for minimal and sleek, or bold and bright, each style is designed to help you make a statement with their latest Colour Block collection.
THE SAVIOUR OF ANY WARDROBE
Timeless and versatile, this little black dress is currently my favourite dusk to dawn dress!
Classic black enhanced with a few chic details, a wrap silhouette, elegant lapel collar, belted and don’t forget those sassy slits! These details are what really make a dress special and unique.
RED QUEEN
From runways to the streets, the red hue is spreading like wildfire!
This stunning pencil dress in a dramatic red hue will make you look elegant and professional.
I fell head-over-heels for this dress with its pleasing asymmetrical starburst pleat that is both eye-catching and great at highlighting or disguising your figure. To top it off, the long sleeves with a cuff and split detail make this dress look classic and ladylike, so perfect for any occasion.
What are your must-have dress styles?
Red and black dresses are classic and timeless options indeed.

Definitely, two colours that one can recycle season after season. Jess I have not been able to view your website for a few days, it comes up with the message that website has not been found. I hope it’s because you are making some fabulous updates! Xx
Wow I must say you look quite pulled together and fashion forward in every look. These dress are great and I love the longer length I am so tired of over-sized tops passing as “dresses”. There is something to be said for sophistication. Love it!

My favorite is the red dress. A must-have dress for me is a velvet one.
