  • 14 Dec 2018

Looking to update your wardrobe? Introducing marie claire’s new video series, Fitting Room Fridays to inspire you before hitting the shops this weekend! With summer officially here, marie claire Market Editor, Monica Russell headed into CUE to see what they have in store perfect for the new season – and it’s all about monochrome.

Below, three new ways to wear monochrome to work this season.

An easy way to elevate a classic black and white outfit is to add a print, such as floral wide-legged trousers (pictured above).

CUE monochrome floral high waist pant, $260, cue.cc

CUE topstitched satchel bag, $295, cue.cc

Sure, it's a little harder to go to the bathroom in a jumpsuit, but the outfit is both comfortable, work-appropriate and effortlessly stylish.

Spots are another on trend print for summer and the bonus is they're easy to pull off. Try mix and matching different spotty pieces and adding a colourful earring, as above, to add extra oomph to an otherwise safe outfit.

CUE spot jacquard skirt, $250, cue.cc

CUE emerald resin earrings, $150, cue.cc
