After the decadence of December it’s time to give your party shoes a rest and get back to work.

Shed the fussy layers of the festive season and choose a wardrobe with clean lines and simple tailoring.

Dress to impress and get noticed by your boss for all the right reasons by choosing punchy colours paired with fresh whites and creams.

But minimal dressing doesn’t have to be basic. Colourblocking and statement tie details add the right amount of interest and luxurious fabrics create a polished finish.
