Menswear Inspired Work Outfit

Workwear outfit for fall

Neon satchel from Topshop

shirt: c/o French Connection via John Lewis, trousers: c/o Marks & Spencer, bag: Topshop, shoes: c/o StylistPick, watch: c/o Guess

I know some girls are afraid of dressing in shapes that hide their figures, but for some reason I’ve always loved mannish silhouettes. I think as long as you keep some parts of the outfit tailored and your make-up feminine, it can still be cool and boyish without losing all sex appeal.  This French Connection men’s shirt is great for adding just that right amount of masculinity to an outfit – I love the subtle spot pattern on the fabric – and I’ve also been wearing it tucked into skinny jeans and denim shorts for a more casual look.

Happy Friday everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend. I’ve got a friend from uni coming to visit and we’re going to go all out tourist on London! Having worked and lived in London for a while, it’s nice to forget all about the frustration that comes with being there 24/7 (hello tube in the summer, I’m looking at you) and just enjoy the city for the amazing place it is. x

    You’ve done menswear so well in this outfit. The black and white is a perfect combination.

    Well even though the clothing pieces have manly shapes, I think you look very gorgeous and feminine in them!
    Like this strong business women 🙂 Always envy the girls who can pull off that look 😀

    I love the androgyny this entire look conveys! So effortlessly classy. Absolutely lovely. The shoes are a great feminine touch, too, just to balance the whole outfit off.

    Also, thank you so much for the lovely comment you left on one of my posts! x
