What to Wear to Work - Classics Black & White

        There is nothing which can beat a classic pairing for a presentation, an interview or a day at the office, crisp white shirt, tailored black trousers and black leather court shoes. It is great to try new things, inject colour or various fashion elements into your work wear wardrobe. However in this time of austerity one needs to project an image of sobriety and capability. The classics will have you looking capable and suitable always.

What to wear to Work - The Navy Blazer

     When one thinks of a Navy Blazer prep school boys and Gossip Girl like images come to mind. However in the realm of Style, A Navy Blazer is as essential today as it was 70 Years ago when adorned by Carey Grant. The  Navy blazer is a great piece to have in your work wear wardrobe. 

      It is a true Classic just like the White shirt and unlike fashionable items of clothing it sustains the trends year after year, month after month and season after season. The materials may change, the lapels may be resized, patches and other embellishments may be added, but the fundamentals remain the same, they just keep getting upgraded.  A Navy blazer compliments neutrals and colours very well, and can be used to elevate or downgrade a look very easily. Every professional should own a Navy blazer, EVERYONE regardless to whether you consider yourself stylish or plain.

What I Wore: Marketing Internship interview

Heels + cobblestone + running = Please kill me now,lol. I had an interview for an internship this morning with a marketing firm. This is a quick post to show you what I wore. 

Shirt - TM. Lewin (tailors since 1898) I love this shirt, the material and tailoring is second to none. To some, these shirts might be a bit pricey, but I rather pay £40 for a quality shirt that will last.
