The Five Work-Wardrobe Staples
Updating your work wardrobe for winter can be pretty tough. You need to look professional but comfortable. You need to be wrap up for the seasonal temperatures but not too wrapped up that your sweltering in the office. And most importantly, you need a wardrobe rejuvenation without breaking the bank.
Our advice? If you only buy five things to add to your work wardrobe this winter, let it be these. UFashion.ie has the perfect pieces for you to add to your wardrobe to make it winter-appropriate while still looking super stylish and raking in all those colleague-compliments.

A white shirt is a wardrobe staple and if you don’t have one, you’re missing out. Whether you want to throw it on with a pair of slim-cut trousers and a pair of courts for work, or are wearing it under a sweater for those colder days, it’ll have you covered for any weather that the evil Irish-weather-gods throw at you.
The Wrap Dress

The Wrap Dress will always be a go-to in your work wardrobe. The fit of a wrap dress is so flattering and disguises those stubborn extra tummy pounds that we’re forever trying to hide. The casual fit of the dress means that your comfortable all day long in work and the long sleeves will keep you warm and save you having to lug a chunky knit or cardigan in your handbag. The style of the dress is super flattering and versatile and can be changed from work attire to after-work-cocktails attire in a simple change of shoes.
