Style maths: everyday essentials for the new season

It’s official: cooler days are well and truly on the way. So rather than reminisce about beach weather, remember that with lower temperatures comes the opportunity to dress up for work, lean into elegant layers and keep cosy in luxe textures that will elevate your look. What’s not to love? If you work in a corporate environment, amp up your wardrobe with a few handpicked essentials that co-ordinate perfectly. Then mix, match and layer to navigate the season in style.

Your Workwear Wishlist

With a tightly edited selection of coordinating pieces, it’s easy to create myriad winter-ready outfits. These staples are ideal for imbuing your look with a little individuality while keeping to your office dress code (or allowing your team a little creative freedom over their nine-to-five attire). The monochrome palette and elevated textures complement each other, no matter the combination you choose, making getting ready in the morning a breeze.

Do the Sums

Get maximum mileage out of your chosen pieces with some simple additions that deliver styling synergy. When your workwear wardrobe works together, the combinations are endless and dressing is easy. Here are a few of our favourite fashion equations to try, using our bestsellers listed above.

The Polished Layered Look

With its clean lines and flattering silhouette, our Crepe Stretch Sleeveless Dress is designed to elevate your look. Wear yours over the crisp white Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt for extra warmth and a chic vibe. The addition of trending ballet flats delivers a preppy feel, while a sleek boot will smarten things up further. Grab your black work tote and go.

The Power Suit

Sharp suiting never fails to instil confidence and our new Crepe Stretch line is a contemporary case in point. Pair the Crepe Stretch Straight Leg Pant with the Crepe Stretch Longline Jacket for effortless and comfortable dressing that always reads professional. If your workplace is more casual, style your suit with the Cotton Jersey Short Sleeve Crew Neck Tee and box-fresh sneakers for a lo-fi take on tailoring. For a timeless feel, button the Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt under your blazer for instant polish.

The Elegant Knit-and-Skirt

Soften your look with a cosy, textured cardigan that brings warmth without the bulk. The high-quality double knit Merino Wool Detail Cardigan looks perfect paired with our calf-grazing Georgie Midi Pleated Skirt. Add in your white tee for an extra layer when required, or layer the Crepe Stretch Longline Jacket over the top. A kitten heel will take your look up a notch, while comfy flat boots will bring a more relaxed feel.

The Go-Anywhere Combo

The perfect pair of black pants are a weekday non-negotiable. Start with our Crepe Stretch Straight Leg Pant that are as comfortable as they are chic. Pair with the sharp Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt for a timeless look that always feels pulled together. Slip on some laidback loafers and knot your cardigan around your shoulders for an unstudied take that’s ideal for more relaxed workplaces.
