When it comes to finding work wear that is practical and stylish, that can take you from a meeting to drinks in the bar, where is the first place you look?

George at Asda – The Autumn Checklist
Asda have just launched their latest drop, ‘The Autumn Checklist’, and it is full of wearable, reasonably priced pieces that can get you can start wearing now, and then enjoy all through the colder months of the year. I know I often say that a collection has something for everyone, but I really do think this one covers all bases.

There are some gorgeous chunky jumpers and ponchos which allow you the smart, casual look, and to be warm…
