Office Attire: Has the Way We Dress for Work Changed?

At the beginning of the worldwide pandemic our lives were turned upside down and we all took on a new way of working (from home) … in our loungewear. However, day to day work routines have returned and with them, a whole new world of dress codes to navigate…

If you find yourself struggling to strike the right balance between smart and casual or simply need your workwear updating, then look at our tips below to help you put together the perfect piece to keep you looking stylish in the office.

Menswear

If your company has a smart dress code to work, then a long sleeved buttoned up regular fit shirt teamed with a tailored pair of suit trousers or dark chinos is a sure winner. When it comes to colours, you should opt for dark colours for the trousers and white or a pastel-coloured shirt. Not forgetting a well-tailored suit blazer to match your trousers.

Smart doesn’t mean boring you can mix and match types of fabric to suit your taste. We have a Herringbone blazer from Italian mill, Reda that has a natural stretch to it and is wrinkle resistant. Why not pair a blazer with dark trousers for a stylish yet comfortable look?  Adding a tie from our new Autumn Winter 21 collection or a pocket square can define your look and add a splash of flare.

Womenswear

Women’s work wear is versatile, a smart 2 piece fitted power suits are very much on trend. Darker colours are traditionally smart office wear, but more and more women are opting for more exciting colours, so be daring, if you want to stand out! If your office has a more casual approach to workwear, then a pair of tailored trousers teamed with some knitwear is comfy and stylish for everyday workwear. Versatility is key; tailored trousers, a fitted blazer and a smart blouse can create a timeless look.
