Inside Voice: Desk-to-Dinner, Decoded.
As we get back into the workflow and your day takes you straight from meetings to meet-ups, having a wardrobe that works overtime is a game-changer. Transitional pieces and simple styling tricks are all it takes to move seamlessly into the evening.
Here’s our 4-step guide to mastering Desk-to-Dinner.
Step 1: Start with a Capsule Wardrobe Dress as Your Base
A comfortable and versatile dress sets the foundation for your Desk-to-Dinner look. Opt for timeless silhouettes that can be both layered or worn as is. Finish the 9-5 look with your favourite blazer, a pair of flats and your handy work tote.
Pro Tip: Choose a dress made from wrinkle-resistant fabric to keep you looking sharp all day.
Step 2: Remove the Blazer and Switch Out Flats for Heels
Once the workday is done, it’s time to let your outfit breathe. Ditch the blazer to reveal the dress on its own, then trade your flats for a pair of sleek heels. Whether you prefer pointed-toe pumps or strappy block heels, the right pair will elevate your look instantly.
Step 3: Swap Your Tote for a Clutch
We love a trusty tote to hold all your corporate baggage, but when the evening comes all you really need is your keys and a lippy! Swap it out for a chic clutch or a mini shoulder bag.
Step 4: Add on the Jewels
Finish your transformation with a statement earring, a chunky necklace, or a stack of bracelets–whatever your heart desires. A bit of gold or silver can really make the difference.
