STAND-ALONE PIECES
A wide-leg trouser is a timeless classic and in a neutral colour like this beige pair from M&S below you can be sure it will go with the majority of other items in your wardrobe.
This pair, which retail for under £30, also has an elasticated waist, which is great for making sure you’re extra comfy while still looking smart.

Apart from wearing it as a stand-alone piece, you can add a blazer over the top to smarten it up — or wear it with a jumper over the top to make it look like separates.

ELEVATE YOUR OUTFIT
Jumpers — like this multicoloured one below for £14.99 at H&M — can be great for layering.
Plus with office aircon (and cold winter temperatures) they’re also vital for keeping you warm.

If you feel like wearing a jumper with trousers isn’t really smart enough for your office attire, then add your white shirt underneath with the collar out at the top.
This styling hack elevates your outfit and gives the illusion of having dressed up — without making any effort.
