There’s something about not knowing what day of the week it is that gets us in the mood to experiment with clothing. Maybe it’s because we finally find the time to explore the depths of our wardrobes, unearthing old favourites. Or because we take a laid-back approach to dressing that births brilliant thrown-together outfits (who knew there we so many ways to style a T-shirt?). Or maybe we just have the confidence to try new looks when we’re holidaying in a town where no one knows our name.  

We may be back in the office, but we’re determined to hang onto this holiday feeling. Simple wardrobe staples, expertly selected accessories and unexpected outfit combinations are helping us slide back into the work year refreshed and motivated. (It’s called strategic planning, hun.) Here are six easy work wardrobe upgrades to try this year.
