Work it, spring style

Early spring'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 spring 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 work outfits.

Office dressing? It's a cinch

There’s nothing stuffy about this season's new take on tailoring – think relaxed shapes that look effortlessly cool for both work and after-hours drinks. Play with pattern and colour to introduce an unexpected edge: subtle pinstripes give this nipped-in blouse by Autograph a sophisticated look, while the pale yellow shade nods to the sunnier months ahead. Oversized shirts and blazers continue to be a talking point: future-proof your wardrobe by reaching for roomier fits that can be worn loose over fine-gauge slim-fit knits now and smart vest tops and tees come summer.

Style directional shirts and blouses with wide-leg trousers for a more tailored look or pair with high-waisted jeans for the ultimate in understated cool. Asymmetric tops are also worth your attention: try our checked waistcoat with diagonal fastening for a fresh spin or a draped mesh top for everyday ease. Add a timeless trench coat to see you through the seasons in style.
