Alison Hammond gave us the perfect autumn officewear inspiration on This Morning with her black and white polka dot top, and you can shop her exact look for £28
Whilst we may be tuning into This Morning for the heartwarming stories and lifestyle tips, there’s another thing that keeps us switching on each day – the presenters’ outfits. Ever since Alison Hammond joined the show back in 2002 she’s been bringing us plenty of laughs, but over the last few years her wardrobe has become just as inspirational, and one of her latest looks is no exception.
One of our recent top looks from Alison was the black and white polka dot blouse she wore during the Friday 13 September episode, and good news for fans of her look – it’s super affordable. You can snap up her Black Polka Dot Chiffon Bow Collar Blouse from New Look for £27.99, and it makes the perfect chic officewear for autumn.

Alison’s New Look blouse is a timeless classic, with a high neckline that features an oversized bow that fastens around the neck. It also has long balloon sleeves that are the perfect touch for adding a little drama for an elevated look.
It has a relaxed, loose fitting body which makes it comfortable enough to wear even after hours spent sat at your desk, and fastens with buttons at the back so you don’t need to worry about any gaping or pulling when you sit down. The oversized polka dot print is also perfect for adding a little excitement to your regular officewear, whilst the monochrome black and white colour palette means you can wear it with anything.
Alison chose to pair her blouse with the Curve Black Midaxi Denim Skirt which you can get for £35 from Evans, which manages to make it look both smart and relaxed at the same time. For more formal offices, you could easily wear it with some wide leg black trousers and loafers, or if your workplace is a little more relaxed about the dress code, team it with some high waisted jeans and trainers.
The New Look blouse is currently available in sizes 6-20, whilst the skirt comes in sizes 16 to a 30-32. The light chiffon material of the blouse is also a major plus, keeping it lightweight and breathable enough to be worn all year round, whether you’re battling the sunshine of the summer or the cranked up heating of winter.
It currently only has one review on the New Look website, but it’s a glowing 5 star one with the person saying: “Touch of class. Lightweight so I can easily wear this all day.” Shop Alison’s Black Polka Dot Chiffon Bow Collar Blouse from New Look now, or if you prefer a darker colour palette, we also love Joanie’s Fiona Polka Dot Print Blouse , £55, which comes in three different colours and patterns.
