Style on the Street: Work it

Once upon a time, in the not so distant past, Wellingtonians had a bit of a reputation for their steadfast relationship with the color black.

Seasons came and seasons went, but love for the monochrome palette endured. This week I took to the streets to explore what Wellington women wear to work.

Whilst hard-working black is still a cornerstone of the modern woman’s working wardrobe, slowly but surely color is winning hearts everywhere.

There’s no doubt that black is slimming and wears well but it’s the rosy hues and jewel tones that make you memorable.
