Put a twist on tailoring
We all know the sinking feeling of opening the wardrobe and wondering what on earth you’re going to wear to work. Changing dress codes, unpredictable weather, and the morning rush can make finding easy but elegant looks for the office a challenge. Happily, we’re here to help. These failsafe office outfit ideas will mean you always having something to wear for that big meeting. 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 in chocolate or black.
TRY THE TAILORING TREND FOR WORK
Take it to the max
Maxi and midaxi (which fall slightly lower than your calf) skirts are a chic choice for office dressing Longer length skirts are a key trend in 2023, so there’s plenty of stylish options to choose from. Swish your way through the commute in this pleated midaxi skirt, which has an eye-catching abstract print. We’re styling it with a white blouse worn tucked in to create a flattering shape (we won’t tell anyone that the skirt has a comfy elasticated waistband if you don’t.) Add a blazer if the temperature is slightly chillier or your calendar calls for a smarter vibe. Slip skirts are another on-trend style that can easily be dressed up for the office. Look for satin textures to create a more polished look, like this black midaxi skirt or this vibrant floral jacquard maxi skirt from our Autograph range. A simple t-shirt or vest top works best with a slip skirt, but again, you can add a blazer if needed. For a more traditional office outfit, this midaxi column skirt is a workwear staple. It has added stretch and is finished with a feminine split at the back for added ease of movement.
