Work Wear

Say hello to your new Autumn workwear wardrobe...

Bored of wearing the same old every day? Feel like you've got nothing to wear to work? Well it's time to amp up your every day work wear to new fashion heights with our top picks for this season that will keep you on the top of your style game.

The secret to creating an amazingly stylish work wardrobe is investing in good staple pieces. Grey, white, black and blue are key colours that you can mix and match with everything, on any day. But that doesn't mean you should always choose plain items. Opt for interesting shapes, small motifs or flattering cuts - and pops of colour are of course a must.

Tailoring is also key for work wear. Discard stiff, uncomfortable, ill-fitted tailoring though in favour of luxe pieces that really flatter your figure.

So, take a look at our ultimate autumn workwear edit. inspired by this season's trends, we've selected the most exciting fashion fixes for a sleek and sophisticated wardrobe update...

Stripes are a classic print, so an stmmetric hem gives an instant update and will make your entire outfit look on-trend for this season. Wear with a grey roll neck and black pumps to complete the chic ensemble.
