3 new season items that will spruce up your workwear wardrobe

Is your workwear wardrobe in need of an update?

The new year usually sees us overhaul our office attire, but the question is: with what? Yet another midi skirt? A blazer? Is it time to invest in a power suit?

If you're feeling uninspired by your current 9-to-5 options, the fashion set is here to lend a hand.

Scroll through our gallery above to see how they tackle their weekday woes, then look below for three new season items that will help transform your workwear look too.

Ditch the trousers for a boilersuit

By now, we are all very well versed in midi skirts and tapered trousers, so if you're, understandably, a bit bored of the classics, allow us to introduce you to your new workwear hero: the boilersuit.

Whether you want to turn heads in a statement colour or opt for sophisticated all-black, the jumpsuit will prove to be a worthy item.

The simple all-in-one also means you can have an extra five minutes of snooze time, so it's a win-win.

Knee high boots have stood the test of time on the catwalks for the last few seasons and are expected to reign throughout 2019.

Although you may be hesitant about the retro-inspired footwear, they actually have a lot to offer your work wardrobe. From a deep berry tone, to black or quirky snakeskin, there are numerous ways to style the pair of your choice: under a midi dress, with a blazer, over jeans - the list goes on.

You will quickly find that they can elevate any outfit, both in and out the office.

Thanks to the 2018 catwalks, the humble cardigan has now made a full return.

Add a brightly coloured button-up to your work wardrobe and you won't regret it. Whether you wear it as a top, layer it over a patterned shirt or pair an oversized style over a skirt, it's an easy new purchase that will make a big difference.
