Because the idea - which we call The '5-Piece Edit' is refreshingly straight-forward: you simply pick any 5 garments from our pre-selected 'minimalist miracle makeover' range for R2999 and with that you build a small, flexible work wardrobe that covers you for the whole week. It's a really smart option for individuals and businesses - especially if a team lead is reviewing or updating a staff uniform style without wanting to overcomplicate things.
One smart choice = a full week of office outfits.
The thinking behind it: why not take the 'what to buy, what to wear' stress away, keep the budget uber tight but still offer up quality business and work garments to customers who just want to put on their clothes and get out the door.
Most teams want corporate clothing that looks professional, feels comfortable, and holds up to those long hot South African summers. That's exactly the thinking behind the 5-Piece Uniform Edit from Imagemakers - keep it simple but keep it stylish. Our KISSKIS principle.
How it works
To make this properly useful, we've done two things below:
• shared our recommended 5-piece combo that delivers the most wear
• shown three mix-and-match style builds, using the same core pieces, so you can see how versatile it really is
Our recommended 5-piece combo (that really earns its keep)
If you want maximum mileage with minimal effort, this is the combination we'd start with:
- Charlie Jacket - your structure piece
- Becky Blouse - the reliable everyday go-to
- Kayla Blouse - a second blouse to rotate and change the look
- Helga Pants - smart, comfortable, endlessly wearable
- Mbali Skirt - adds instant variety and balance
Why this combo works:
Two tops, two bottoms, one strong jacket. Every top works with both bottoms, and the jacket ties everything together. That alone gives you multiple outfit options without needing extra pieces.
Three mix-and-match style combos we'd recommend
What makes the 5-Piece Edit clever is that the same five garments can be styled differently depending on your role, your office, and your day.
1.The Everyday Professional
Perfect if you want polished, dependable outfits that suit most office environments.
Using our recommended 5-piece combo:
- Charlie Jacket
- Helga Pants
- Mbali Skirt
- Becky Blouse
- Kayla Blouse
Why it works:
Both blouses work with both bottoms, and the jacket pulls everything together when you need to look sharper. Jacket on for meetings, jacket off for desk days - easy and reliable.
2.Smart Casual, Done Properly
Great for modern offices, creative teams, or roles where comfort matters just as much as presentation.
How to style the same five pieces:
- Wear the Charlie Jacket open or pushed back
- Pair blouses with the Helga Pants for relaxed weekday looks
- Use the Mbali Skirt with a blouse for lighter, warmer days
Why it works:
Nothing feels stiff or overdressed, but you still look considered. Same garments, just styled a little more casually.
3. Client-Ready & Confident
If your role involves presentations, meetings or representing the business, this is where the combo really proves its value.
Style it like this:
- Charlie Jacket + Helga Pants + either blouse for meetings
- Charlie Jacket + Mbali Skirt for presentations
- Alternate blouses to avoid repeating the same look
Why it works:
The structure is already built in. You look intentional, professional and confident - without having to think too hard about it.
Why our 5-Piece Edit just makes sense
This isn't about trend pieces or one-off outfits. It's about building a small, hardworking wardrobe that mixes easily and lasts.
Five pieces. R2999. A full week of outfits sorted. That's smart dressing for real working life.
