Your workwear wardrobe reinvented – Versatile pieces that will work hard for you both in and out of the office. Think an oversized blazer, cashmere knit, soft tailoring, and classic loafers.
Why You Should Invest in Versatile Workwear
With most of us spending so much time at work, it makes sense that we should feel good when we are there. Many customers have shared that they don't like to spend a lot on their work wardrobe, as they see it as separate from their leisure wardrobe. They've also shared that they don't feel great in their work clothes. This got us thinking: by introducing a few crossover pieces from leisure to workwear, the way we think about outfits could totally change.
Key Wardrobe Pieces to Reinvent Your Work Style
1. Cashmere Jumpers: From Casual to Corporate
Think about layering a beautiful cashmere jumper (worn in your leisure time with fab denim and sneakers, for example) over a formal blouse or suiting. Not only does it tick all the fashion direction boxes, but it introduces an element of self-gifting luxury, which is an instant mood booster.
2. The Power of Statement Shoes
Footwear can also play an important role. Shoes can literally make or break an outfit. We like the idea of introducing a red loafer to the workwear roster. This small addition can transform a simple outfit into something special. It also demonstrates a level of confidence—exactly the energy you want to give at work. You can wear them with most work attire. Just think plain colour blocking rather than patterns, and you can't go wrong. The beauty of this pair is that you can flip the heel/back down when off duty for a more casual look. They look great with ankle-grazing denim too.
3. The Classic Blazer: Your Workhorse Piece
Lastly, consider a great jacket or blazer. When worn in a corporate environment, it’s a fantastic workhorse piece. By hitching up the sleeves and flicking the collar, a tailored jacket can be a key addition to your off-duty look. Pair it with baggy denim and a killer heel. A directional style, such as the Hayden blazer by Isabel Marant, can straddle both work and play.
How to Transition from Work to Leisure Effortlessly
The secret to creating a work-to-leisure wardrobe is choosing pieces that not only fit your professional needs but also feel luxurious and comfortable during downtime. This introduces an element of self-care into your wardrobe, making you feel more confident both at work and at play.
