A T-shirt may not be entirely work appropriate, especially if you’re in the finance industry. However, dressing it up with a sleek jacket should do the trick. Wear it with a pinstriped blazer and a midi pleated skirt.

We love a pair of sleek pumps. With its neutral coloured upper, this pair from Mango goes with virtually everything. Complement it with a camel-tone suit for work, and a white T-shirt and denim jeans combo for weekend brunch.

Its sleek and polished silhouette is perfect for work. Best of all, it doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. Contrast the monochromatic shade with a pair of bright soles, like a pair of orange heeled sandals.
