Demure and mindful fashion for the office or classroom

Demure and mindful fashion for the office or classroom

Now that the summer holidays are over and the cold weather has started to creep in, it’s time to rethink our workwear wardrobe

Carraig Donn: Wide Leg Scuba Trousers – €35

Chic and elegant, the khaki colour of these pants is a neutral tone that will go with so much of your existing wardrobe while also giving a nod to the autumnal palette.

River Island: Navy Faux Leather Belted Midi Shirt Dress – €70

Demure and mindful dressing but with a splash of rebellion! Pair with stillettos or heeled ankle boots and a statement bag for an office look that will easily switch from day to night.

H&M: Single-Breasted Blazer – €39.99

We love this slouchy suit look with pointed flats but the blazer will work equally well with tapered jeans or a pencil skirt, making it a great multi-tasker.

Avoca: Birch & Black Dora Striped Cotton Blend Cardigan – €79.99

This adorable knit from Avoca should be in the dictionary beside ‘demure and mindful’. Wear whatever you like with it.

Choice Boutique: PERUZZI Diamante Blouse – €110

High neck, beautiful draping, statement sleeves, cuffs with buttons and diamante contrast detailing? Yes to all of it.

Dunnes Stores: Paul Costelloe Living Studio Grey Panel Skirt – €65

Boasting an A-line cut, a midi length, an elasticated waistband and contrast panel at the bottom, this skirt is incredibly flattering and effortlessly elegant.

Next: Reiss Annie Wool Blend Crew Neck Jumper with Cashmere – €140

This stunning fine-knit jumper is a fantastic basic to have in your workwear wardrobe. Beautiful worn on it’s own but also ‘tres chic’ under a trench coat or blazer, it can be dressed up with jewellery or a statement collar for optimum demurity.

Kate Cooper: Black/White Striped Waistcoat – €120

Waistcoats are having a moment and this one is perfect for styling with a tailored shirt or a long sleeve top for work and then wearing alone for after-work drinks or dinner. Mindful dressing at it’s finest.
