Fashion High Five – Add a Pop of Colour To a Business Meeting

Introduce a little colour.

Cathy Donohue

Choosing workwear can be a little difficult at times as you need to keep it office appropriate while still making sure your outfit reflects your personality.

An easy way of doing this is introducing a pop of colour to a neutral outfit so accessorise with a statement necklace or choose printed court shoes to complement your look.

A bright satchel is another easy way of updating your look and oversized sunglasses add glamour to even the most conservative office outfit.

Medium Satchel, £35 (€44) at Topshop

This muted blue shade is the ideal way to add a little colour to your office look. It’s perfect for summer with a floral dress and tailored blazer and team it with a neutral shift dress and courts for winter work wear. Understated chic, we pretty much need this bag.

Sunglasses are an easy way of adding a little glamour to an everyday ensemble and these nude cat sunglasses are a bargain at only €10. Pair these with your briefcase and everyday work suit for something a little different.

Oversized Jacket, €72 at Warehouse 

We love pastels and this baby pink oversized number is a must-have for this summer season. Wear this over a cream shift dress for a summer business meeting and team it with tailored pants when the weather starts to get a little colder. A coloured jacket is a brilliant way of quickly updating your look and we advise snapping this one up soon.

Court shoes, €60 at River Island

Strong colours such as red can be a little daunting when it comes to office wear. If a red dress or top is too much for you, then introduce this bold shade slowly through accessories such as a bag or jewellery. We’re big fans of these red court shoes, wear them with a simple black pencil dress or cropped black trousers for a stylish and elegant look.

 Necklace, €12.95 at Parfois

Adding statement jewellery to an everyday outfit is probably the easiest way to update your look, we LOVE this blue and silver piece necklace from Parfois. €12.95 won’t break the bank and you can wear this time and time again with different combinations. This particular shade of  blue looks great against white, team it with a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers for chic workwear style.
