If your office has a smart-casual dress code, you've got a little more freedom to have fun with your work wardrobe. Jeans and trainers can absolutely work, but the trick is keeping the overall look polished – perhaps leave the graphic tee for the weekend.
Try pairing tailored trousers with a colourful blouse, a lightweight knit or a statement shirt for an easy office-ready outfit. Midi dresses are always a reliable choice, while mini styles can work too when styled with smart layers and accessories. Add your own personality with jewellery, chic hair accessories and a stylish work bag. And, you'll have a look that's equal parts professional and effortlessly put together.
When only your top half is on show during video calls, getting dressed for work can feel a little easier. The key is finding pieces that are comfortable enough for working from home while still looking put-together for office days.
Look for easy-to-wear dresses and smart separates that transition seamlessly between your desk at home and your commute into the office. In warmer weather, lightweight fabrics such as linen and cotton can help keep you cool while still looking polished. When the temperature drops, soft knitwear is the perfect way to stay cosy without sacrificing style. And when it's time to head into the office, finish your look with comfortable footwear and a practical work bag.
Take your outfit from desk to dinner with a few easy, after-hours upgrades. Start with hardworking foundations – tailored trousers, a sleek dress or polished co-ords in versatile neutrals. Build your day look with a blazer, jewellery and a handbag so you’re comfortable and ready for whatever your calendar throws at you.
When it’s time to head out, switch into evening mode with accessories and beauty tweaks that do the heavy lifting. Swap your work tote for a compact clutch, trade flats for heels or statement boots. And add a little drama with bold earrings, a layered necklace or a costume bangle. Add a slick of deeper lipstick or extra eyeliner, and restyle your hair into a sleek ponytail or soft waves. With a few quick changes, your look goes from “on the clock” to “out for cocktails” – no full outfit overhaul required.
You might think office dressing has to mean a monochrome palette of black and white, but we like to take a more colourful approach. Depending on your workplace, workwear can be just as expressive as the rest of your wardrobe. Reach for standout prints, bold colours and personality-packed accessories that help you put your own spin on office style.
If you work in a more corporate setting, neutral shades such as navy, black, grey and beige are classic choices. These colours always look polished and professional. If you'd like to introduce a little more colour, try accent shades like blue, green, pink or red through your tops, accessories or jewellery.
