Tropicana

We love how Elaine’s flared skirt instantly stands out from the usual monochromatic colour palette of the work crowd. The palm-leaf and flower print skirt reminds us instantly of balmy holidays on the beach, and perhaps it serves as a reminder for Elaine to stay cool and calm at work as well. She knows that the skirt is the focal point of her outfit, so she keeps the rest of the look plain and simple with an elegant, fitted, high-necked top; nude, open-toed wedges that elongate her legs, and a matching tote bag in desaturated colours. Altogether, it’s an outfit that is very work appropriate, but hardly boring. There’s nothing in Elaine’s outfit that is too short, or too tight, and so she oozes sophistication and class — something that we all hope to aspire to.
