Corporate Footwear – How To Work It in South Africa

HOW TO WORK IT WITH FOOTWEAR –

SMART TAILORING AND PUNCHY SHOES WILL PULL YOUR CORPORATE CLOTHING JOHANNESBURG LOOK INTO PLACE.

TWINKLE TOES

“With the right footwear,” said Bette Midler “one can rule the world”. We say wear colour and jewels on your feet and make shoes your style starting point. Have a Cinderella moment and wear gem encrusted mules and sumptuous slippers – add frayed denim and top the look off with ruffles…. laid back luxury.

Style Tip

Trousers with a cropped or frayed hem are key. It’s all about revealing a bit of ankle and balancing the fancy shoe with urban fabrics and relaxed ruffles.

CLEAN AND SIMPLE

Take a pair of block heels, and modern square shoulders, keep the tones understated and focus attention on what shirt to wear. Finish with a simple jacket draped over your shoulders. Relaxed tailoring works this look.

Style Tip

Trousers should be long and wide and skirts mid-length and structured, easy pieces for a chic autumn wardrobe.

SEVENTIES STRIDERS

Platforms will raise your style on many levels. Wear with flared trousers, geometric knits and sleeves that catch the wind.

Style Tip

Trousers should be high waisted and wide; add a platform and the result is extra long legs.  

PARIS UNDERGROUND

Rocky metallic boots require clothes with suitable punch – furry leopard print, a slick tux and skinny scarves apply.

Style Tip

To adapt this look for work pair a classic blazer with trumpet hem skirt and rock the fur with animal skin bag and in your face boots.
