We all know work can be a little boring sometimes, but that doesn’t mean your outfits need to be. When I first started building my work wardrobe, I dreaded the idea of getting lost in a sea of dull suits. There are so many fun ways to add personality to your nine to five style and avoid a lackluster closet.

 

I have always loved the timeless fashion of the 1960’s, and wanted to incorporate a few of these classics into my work wear, so I put together a few ideas to help you rock some the ‘60s trends at the office.

 

1

 

Peter Pan Collar: This is a great trend that has popped up again recently in fashion. It’s the perfect way to add a touch of ‘60s class to your wardrobe this spring, like these polished dresses. If you’re looking for something a little more versatile, opt for a Peter Pan collar necklace that can finish off any great work outfit.

Bold Prints: One of the best parts of fashion in the 1960’s were the incredible graphic prints and colour contrasting. Looking for a modern take on this style? Go for these gorgeously bold black-and-white pieces for a polished look.

Cropped Trouser: The weather is slowly warming up, which makes this 60’s trend a great option for work. I found these spring-inspired versions of the cropped trouser that will help make your wardrobe anything but dull.

Point-toed Flats: Isn’t it great when fashion and comfort collide? Flats are a perfect way to incorporate the bold colours from the ‘60s to your outfit in a subtle way. The best part? They go with anything!
