Think about it, you spend more than 50 per cent of your waking hours and 70 per cent of the week at the office. To feel good about the hustle and grind, it pays to curate what you wear to work. If you want to impress your boss and clients, dress the part with these 10 functional yet fashionable pieces from the Net-a-Porter sale that you can wear to the office, and after work drinks and maybe even on the weekend.
Everyone needs a double-breasted blazer, you can wear it with co-ordinating pants or a patent leather skirt at the office, then wear it with jeans or a mini skirt for the weekend. This Prada version is great with the loose fit and buckled belt.
A crisp white shirt is a must-have in any woman’s wardrobe. This piece is far from boring with the exaggerated cuffs that will transform your look to be more dynamic and interesting. Wear it with a pencil skirt or go for more volume with wide legged pants.
Putting a contemporary spin on the little black dress, this stretch-knit dress with subtle ruffles can be worn alone with chunky jewellery or layer a blazer over. It’s a versatile piece that you can wear in the boardroom and to drinks after.
Linen is a key material this season, the more casual material is made office appropriate with the utilitarian style and midi length asymmetric hem. The vibrant colour ensures you’ll stand out, in a good way.

High rise and with a flattering wide leg fit, you can wear these pants with a simple silk blouse or with a knit top to look impeccably put together. Out of the office, simply wear it with a tucked in T-shirt and sneakers.
You don’t have to stick to dark colours to show you mean business. This sky-blue faux leather skirt with a wrap silhouette will look chic with a white blazer, or worn alone with a beige knit cardigan.
Pick a sculptural shoe with a sensible mid-heel so you can wear it all day. The patent leather and silver discs make it a statement piece that you can wear with cropped pants or a midi dress.
An iconic design from the French label, the Faye Day bag in croc-effect leather is sophisticated and luxurious. The boxy shape and divided interiors make it great for organisation, while the beige hue is a great neutral to mix and match with any outfit.
To accentuate your waist, whether it’s with a pair of pants or simple wrap dress, a leopard print belt shows off a bold, confident personality.
