The Office Wear Edit: Get Set for Summer

Sarah LafargeEmbrace hybrid dressing
Hybrid working has caused a shift to a more fluid way of dressing, with a less formal work wardrobe suited to both the home and office. Our classic navy shacket is a clever all-seasons buy, perfect for layering on early morning commutes or in chilly air-conditioned offices. It’s made with a smooth, lightweight finish making it ideal for when you’re on the move. Team with slim-fit trousers and Chelsea boots 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 in black.
Frequent traveller? Autograph’s overnight bag features an attractive suede finish and detachable shoulder strap, making it ideal for smart business trips or weekends away.
Hybrid work essentials
Invest in a blazer
You might not need to wear a suit for work, but a casual dress code shouldn’t mean scruffy. Wearing tonal colours from head to toe will instantly give you sartorial brownie points. Our textured blazer has a premium look and feel. And with minimal ironing required, it gives you extra time to hit the snooze button.
If jackets are optional, mix things up with smart knitwear in fine yarns to nail an effortlessly put-together look. Team with retro-inspired pleated chinos that can be worn for work or play, and a cotton-rich gilet as mornings start to cool down.
The perfect pieces for styling with a blazer
Choose laid-back suiting
If your office dress code requires you to wear a suit, try our machine-washable version. It will keep you looking as sharp and crease-free when wrapping up your last meeting of the day as you did first thing in the morning. Available in navy and black, buy the jacket and trousers separately for the perfect fit.
Looking for a less buttoned-up look? For a modern update on the classic suit-and-shirt combo, switch out the polo shirt and pair instead with a complementary crew-neck T-shirt. Autograph’s soft and breathable Supima cotton T-shirts come in an array of colours and can also do double duty at the weekend teamed with your favourite jeans. Then, just add the finishing touch: a pair of leather trainers.
