THE WORKWEAR EDIT:
GET SET FOR AUTUMN
Whatever your office dress code, shift effortlessly into the new season with smart separates, from lightweight knits and tailored trousers to shower-resistant macs
Embrace hybrid dressing
Hybrid working has caused a shift to a more fluid way of dressing, with a less formal work wardrobe suited to both home and office. Our cotton-blend mac is a clever all-seasons buy and a lightweight option when you’re on the move, perfect for layering on early morning commutes or in chilly air-conditioned offices. It’s made with our Stormwear fabric, which has a water-repellent finish to protect from light rain showers.
Team your mac with a great-quality white T-shirt, tailored trousers and slip-on loafers for your new work-anywhere uniform. A bag for your essentials is a must for hybrid working, too – trade in your battered backpack for our smart laptop bag, which comes in black, navy or khaki.
HYBRID WORK ESSENTIALS
Choose a lightweight knit
When it’s warm outside one minute and chilly the next, it can be difficult to decide what to wear to work. Enter the lightweight knit: a must when it comes to men’s autumn fashion. Choose a jumper or cardigan that isn’t too bulky, or something that can be easily layered over a T-shirt to help you stay comfortable in ever-changing office temperatures.
We love this half-zip jumper made from extra-fine merino wool. Available in nine colours, it’s the ideal work-to-weekend piece, and looks just as great with smart trousers as it does with your favourite jeans.
WORK-READY KNITWEAR
Keeping it casual
You might not need to wear a suit for work, but a casual dress code shouldn’t mean scruffy. If wearing a shirt is not essential, there are some other men’s office fashion options – our textured polo shirt feels soft next to your skin, is easy to care for and has a premium look and feel. Best of all, with no ironing required, it gives you extra time to hit the snooze button.
Pair with smart trousers that have a clever active waist – the perfect blend of style and comfort, these can expand up to one whole waist size. Don’t forget to keep a pair of sunglasses in your work bag (you never know when the sun might make an appearance, after all).
