Your Spring-Ready Work Outfits, Sorted

January's unpredictable weather calls for versatile work outfits that can adapt to both unexpectedly warm office environments and lingering winter chills. The key to mastering this lies in choosing pieces that can be mixed, matched and easily layered beneath heavy outerwear, depending on your commute.

Pair our khaki suit jacket with the coordinating wide-leg trousers and a silk shirt for an instant outfit formula, or slip on over your favourite winter dresses and knee-length boots for a more transitional look. A lightweight trench coat serves as the ideal outerwear piece – it's perfect for those ‘will it rain?’ days – plus gives another layer of professional polish.

Complete your office outfit with a mid-heel shoe or classic flats – such as loafers – that transition well from crisp mornings to afternoon meetings. Smart trainers also work well with more casual spring-facing work outfits.

Want to add some personality to your spring office outfits? Even in the most corporate settings, there's room to have fun with what you wear (while staying within dress code, of course).

Start with accessories – they're the easiest way to make any outfit your own. Try knotting a triangle scarf over a crew-neck jumper for an instant style upgrade, add a studded belt to simple black trousers or gild your look with eye-catching jewellery or satin Mary Janes. These little additions make a big impact without going overboard.

On in-between days, reach for a wool cardigan or knitted jacket – they're just as polished as a blazer but feel more current and relaxed. Don't forget about your bag – a woven leather tote in a rich burgundy or smooth soft suede elevates your look while being practical enough for transporting your laptop and daily essentials.
