Spring 9-5 the tailored looks.

Following on from last weeks post - see below, (the trends that are appearing in the shops for Spring), I thought I would start with 9-5 office wear. 

This Spring for smart, tailored wear think;

• Softly draped fabrics, linens / viscose, 
  
• Colours - black, muted or pops of colour, 
  
• Wrapping detail, belted silhouettes, 
  
• Culottes 
  
• and jumpsuits - of which, I will show you more of, in a later post.
  

I've created four looks below from some of the favourite pieces I have spied in the shops. I hope these looks will give you some inspiration for the office. Check out my tips for styling each outfit!



This beautiful Country Road dress also comes in black and the tie detailing around the middle can hide a multitude of sins!
Trenery draped waterfall trench $279.00, Country Road Tie front dress $169.00, Witchery Helena heel $199.90. 

Culottes are hard to pull off, you need to have the length in the shin to wear them, and you don't want any ankle straps cutting off your leg, which is why I have teamed them with ballet flats.
Trenery yarn died striped peplum $109.00, Trenery Soft Draped Blazer $399.00, Witchery Harlow wool culotte $199.90, Trenery Thelma mid heel $229.00. 

With this outfit I'd wear the shirt tucked in to show off the wrap-belt detailing and create definition around your waist.
Witchery Linen Blazer $209.90, Witchery half placket shirt $99.90, Seed Heritage shorty layered necklace AU$29.95, Witchery wrap over pant $229.90, Country Road Sandi suede wedge $199.00. 

With this jacket you want to make sure that the jacket and top length are the same so it doesn't create bulk around your middle.
Witchery Flare Pant $169.90, Witchery Knot Front blouse $109.90, Trenery Milano Jacket 229.00, Witchery circle drop earring $34.90, French Connection metal spliced cuff AU$49.95, Overland Alicia heel $199.90.
