English Channel - Business Women's Guide to Fashion

European style is always fast forward, innovative, modern, elegant and classy. Especially in regards to British fashion houses and famous designers that showcase artful clothes for couture or ready to wear ensembles. British women are known for the elevated taste in fashion and style. They tend to lean more towards the conservative, classic (and sometimes modern), fresh, clean and elegant approach to dressing. You can expect to see British business women in tailored clothes with accessories that accent their outfits rather than dominate it. Now women from around the world can mirror their British counterparts without having to cross over the pond!

Listed below are tips that stylish, professional women can instantly implement into their wardrobe and channel their British style diva.

In the Trenches

Trench coats are a staple to any outerwear collection. They are versatile, classic and stylish for any outfit for any profession. Students, business women, lawyers, doctors, artists etc. can wear trench coats that blend into their style profiles. Trench coats are no longer being made in the classic khaki colors as from the days of old. Many clothing designers and retail companies are adding a punch of color to this classic piece with blacks, bright primary colors and even patterned prints. The shape of trench coats are also evolving. Women can purchase this outerwear in a cropped version, or in three-quarter length sleeves. Either way, trench coats are definitely here to stay.

Queen of Diamonds

Argyles are no longer reserved for your grand uncle or the finest golfers on the greens. They are being incorporated into almost every aspect of women's clothes and accessories. Besides the classic argyle vest, this fun pattern is being used for skirts, dresses, sweaters, socks, pins and handbags. Argyles also look dynamic with different textures such as silk, cotton, wool and velvet. It is usually worn in the day but can easily transition into the night with pearl accessories and sparkling accents. Argyles can also be paired perfectly with different patterns such as plaids, tweeds, pin stripes and even polka dots. The sky is the limit to the combination that can be created.
