Imagination is everything, especially in the work place. Having spent a considerable time in my journalism career either stood around a football pitch interviewing players or hotfooting it down the paddock to get a comment from an F1 racer at the Bahrain International Circuit, I learned rather quickly that high heels, skirts and flouncy dresses simply won’t work.
However, walking around the office in denim or leggings, T-shirts and baggy shorts along with trainers will not cut the bill either.
What if I needed to run out to cover an art exhibition or face a spontaneous interview with a VIP?
So how do you find a balance for a woman on-the-go who needs to be quick on her feet but still looking sleek?
The Barcelona-based Mango brand seems to have the answer with a touch of Spanish chic by designing an autumn / winter 2018 collection that is both versatile and comfortable with an array of apparels.
The beauty of this collection is that it boasts a range of staples that can easily be mixed and matched to create a different outfit for every eventuality.
There is something for everyone from flats to high-heeled boots and chequered suits to ribbed midi dresses.
The new line-up features sophisticated blazers and coats in varying textures, prints and patterns that have the power to instantly jazz up your everyday work style.
Tailored trousers and skirts continue to stand strong as an office-wear essential, flaunting clean lines and a neutral palette, perfect for the season.
For more casual, laid-back days, opt for a lightweight dress or statement jeans paired with an elegant blouse and step into a pair of bold ankle boots.
These pieces will provide your regular work wear wardrobe with an edgy upgrade … suitable for any time of the day and any event.
