here are my top picks of some casually cool work-worthy styles from one of my favourite stores to shop for workwear, banana republic:
No.1 a softer side of of green
No.2 all white, alright
No.3 cause i’m cool like that

finding some inspiration for workwear in these runway looks from derek lam:
No.1 – bold trousers
this colour screams ‘HAPPY!’
but i can see how some folks might be afraid the pant may scare folks in your cube. don’t fret, you can still bring some happy into your wardrobe with this colour. try it in a skirt, a handbag or even some jewellery.
No. 2 red leather
too much leather for your cube? try a red leather top or a purse
No. 3 the a-line look
not only do i love the a-line look but i also love the classical colour combo in the stripes of the top: white, tan and a hint of orange.
i might ‘work’ this look by wearing white trousers, tan blouse, and pop of orange in my footwear or handbag.

i’ve been looking for spring inspiration for my workwear – despite the below zero temps outside. i came across these fave looks from a recent segment on office attire on steven and chris:
No1.
too bold a suit for your cube-dwelling work style? break it up. work the pants without the blazer or and perhaps the blazer with a pencil skirt or on casual friday with some dark wash denim and a white shirt. oh the possibilities! (suit – banana republic)
No.2
luv the shoes, the panelling on this dress and just the overall chicness of this banana republic look.
No.3
i want this h&m dress. what a fun way to bring animal print into the office and it can do double duty if you are going out after work.
No.4
give those dark wash trouser jeans a break on your next casual friday and try coloured skinny instead. whether bright or muted tones, this is a great alternate look for cas’ fridays. (pants – jacobs/handbag – roots)
hope this gives you some inspirations when thinking about how to amp up your look for the cube this spring – even if spring is like 5 months away…sighs.
