How To Dress Like An Editor On An Entry-Level Budget

Everyone has to start somewhere. We get that first job in the industry of our choice but the commonly low entry level salaries don't make it easy to dress to impress... Or so it seems.

Your boss and colleagues may swan around in the new Balmain blazer or GUCCI loafers you've been seeing all over Instagram, but they are just out of reach with the rent and food your pay is already earmarked for.

That is where fast fashion and I come in.

Great alternatives to office friendly luxury fashion can be found at lower price pointed stores such as Zara, H&M, Missguided and Forever New.

Below are the 5 things every fashion conscious entry level worker should own:

Black Cigarette Pants

A Black Blazer

Black Boots

White T-shirt

A Pair of Gold Earrings

*I worship black as a wardrobe ‘colour’ as most pieces will mix and match and it’s easier to make darker colours look expensive.

With these pieces on your side, you'll work hard but also impress your way to the top of the ladder faster than you can say "that Balmain blazer is mine!"
