For a networking meet up over coffee you want to look smart but not too overdressed, keeping in mind who you are meeting up with and for what particular reason.

A sharp blazer will always give you a professional yet approachable look, paired with some flattering trousers and comfortable shoes.

Don’t be scared to throw a bit of colour in to your outfit, it will show your personality. If you aren’t happy with wearing dark hues go for a bright blazer like the blue Smythe Sharp Shoulder Blazer shown above. Even a patterned blazer would be a good choice, providing you don’t over accessories with too much jewellery.

Again, depending on the reason behind the meet up either heels (that aren’t too high), sandals or ballet flats would be appropriate, and top off your outfit with a perfectly shaped slouch tee.
