Next pink ruffle dress

£55

Office dressing doesn't often inspire the most vibrant of colour palettes - in fact, many 9-5 wardrobes consist of little more than black, white and grey, with perhaps the odd pastel thrown in for good measure.

Breaking out of the boundaries could be easier than your think - just incorporate pieces like Next's pink ruffle dress to your boardroom repertoire. It still has the relative style safety of your typical workwear silhouette - the classic slim pencil skirt and feminine top - but adds some romance, with a whimsical flourish of ruffles.
