Officewear that works as hard as you do

It’s time to update your workwear wardrobe with new-season pieces that are confident and effortlessly wearable. Our buyer and design manager, Lisa Ferrie, says: “It’s about dressing with intention and balancing comfort – where sculptural tailoring meets effortless layering and urban sophistication.” Read on to discover the versatile hero pieces you need for stress-free office outfits year-round.

1. New-season tailoring

A trouser suit in a shade you love is fashion gold. It requires minimum effort and works perfectly as separates, too. Team the jacket with black trousers or jeans (depending on your office dress code), or style up a classic white T-shirt with the tailored trousers and a statement necklace.

2. The desk-to-dinner dress

Versatile work dresses are your wardrobe’s secret weapon. Look for styles that are understated yet feminine and can be worn from desk to dinner. To maximise wear, opt for something that falls below the knee and avoid narrow cuts. Layer with a neat crew-neck sweater for chilly days.

3. Relaxed trousers

Action-packed schedules demand workwear that’s smart yet not too put-together. A pair of trousers with a relaxed fit is key to achieving this; seek out wide-leg or flared styles in classic shades and durable fabrics that are designed to last.

4. The ‘does-it-all’ skirt

On office days, smarter skirts come into their own, adding a feminine twist to classic tailoring. Play with silhouettes that take your fancy; whether that’s a full skirt or an edgier mini, and add a chunky knit or shirt, plus your favourite boots.

5. Stress-free shirts

A perennial solution for work days, a crisp shirt instantly sharpens any look and will never go out of style. Opt for neutral colours, stripes or subtle prints that you can mix, match and wear with pieces that you already own. For extra fashion points, style with the French half-tuck, add loafers, and go.
