Put a twist on tailoring
Changing dress codes, unpredictable weather, and the morning rush can make finding easy workwear looks a challenge. Happily, we’re here to help. Tailoring has been a huge trend throughout 2023, which is great news if your dress code leans on the smart side. Searching for a polished but modern office look? Pair workwear staples, like tailored trousers and a blazer, with a white t-shirt and trainers. If the agenda is more casual, mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe – a blazer will look super cool worn with wide-leg jeans. Complete the outfit with elegant accessories, like this faux leather cross body bag.
Take it to the max
Maxi and midaxi (which fall slightly lower than your calf) skirts are a chic choice for office dressing. Swish your way through the commute in a pleated midaxi skirt (like featured), which has an eye-catching abstract print. We’re styling it with a white blouse worn tucked in to create a flattering shape. Add a blazer if the temperature is slightly chillier or your calendar calls for a smarter vibe. Make the outfit more work appropriate by styling it with heels or pumps. Work it!
Smart style, superior comfort
If your office dress code requires you to wear a suit, try our Ultimate Suit. Created in a contemporary single-breasted design, added stretch will keep you looking as sharp and crease-free when wrapping up your last meeting of the day as you did first thing in the morning.
Looking for a less buttoned-up look? For a modern update on the classic suit-and-shirt combo, switch out the shirt and pair instead with a complementary polo shirt (as featured). Autograph’s soft and breathable polo shirt comes in a choice of two colours and can also do double duty at the weekend teamed with your favourite jeans. Then, just add the finishing touch – a pair of classic leather loafers and you’re done!
Keeping it casual
You might not need to wear a suit for work, but a casual dress code shouldn’t mean scruffy. If wearing a shirt is not essential, there are some other smart-enough-for-the-office options – our cotton-rich polo shirts feel soft next to your skin, are easy to care for with a premium look and feel. Best of all, you can select between solid and striped options and choose your vibe for the day. Team with retro-inspired pleated trousers that can be worn for work or play, and ditch formal shoes for a pair of trainers (also commute friendly).
