The finish Dogtooth

DANIELLA SMYTHE, 43, is a sales and marketing manager for Christopher Hyde Lighting.

Forget the 80’s connotations –dogtooth has been reimagined in coats and tailoring all over the high street, and is a great way to reinvent your work wardrobe.

Stick to monochrome – trust us, this really makes a chic and stylish statement.

A longer line blazer and cropped trousers keep this look modern – layer a roll-neck underneath and tick another trend box.

Crop it – shorter trousers mean you can wear them with heels or flats.

Accessories count – wear your furry stole asymmetrically and keep it in place with a belt. A structured monochrome bag in a graphic print adds the fun factor.
