In case you forgot what works for work.
OUTFIT IDEAS FOR HEADING BACK TO WORK
Another new year is upon us, which means it’s time to think about what you’ll be wearing at work. Whether you’re heading back for one day a week, full time or starting something new after a period off, you’re going to have to ease yourself out of joggers following the festive period and into something a little more work-appropriate. Below are a few suggestions dependant on your industry.
Informal
If you work in a casual environment, you have the freedom to experiment a bit. You don’t have jump straight into jeans and t-shirt territory, though – try a thick chunky roll neck perfect for the chilly new year period, crafted from super-soft lambswool with added stretch for comfort. It’ll keep you cosy and level up your jumper game.
As for your lower half, the trousers from your blonde camel suit are a great alternative to chinos. Cut to a tailored fit, they add a shot of smart to the relaxed look. Finish with a wool baseball cap in a tonal chestnut colour and you’ve got a casual outfit that still looks put together.
Smart Casual
The smart casual aesthetic is one that many still find tricky to navigate. With just a few key pieces in your wardrobe, however, you’ll have a versatile range of work gear ready to be smartened up or dressed down when the occasion calls for it.
Flannel trousers and a beautifully soft cashmere crew neck work seamlessly together for a tonal, casual base. Throw a suit jacket into the mix and you’ve instantly elevated the outfit, especially if you go for a double-breasted jacket like our grey flannel. A suit jacket looks great with casual separates, works for a wealth of work environments and can be removed to soften the look.
Corporate
If your work dress code is a bit on the smarter side, investing in a quality suit that will stand the test of time (and look great in the process) is integral.
Our performance suits are designed for hard wear and longevity. Engineered with extra stretch for ease of movement, they’ve also been treated to repel water and stains, keeping you smarter for longer. Pair yours with a simple but sharp stretch shirt and a knitted tie for added texture.
