It’s all about mixing different aesthetics, silhouettes and textures to create looks that lend themselves to a variety of environments.

Whether you’re back in the office, or working from home still doing Zoom calls, or have become a digital nomad, we bring you the update on key pieces to invest in for the new type of office space.

1. Cheer up

Dopamine dressing is still all the rage. Graphic prints, striking brights and colour-blocked hues are a great way to inject some life into your workwear. Pinafore-inspired dresses allow you to mix formal and casual seamlessly by playing around with different styles of shirts.

2. Dainty frocks

A monochrome work dress is one of the most popular pieces to own for post-pandemic work wear. It’s versatile and can be paired with a variety of footwear without losing its polish, making it an absolute must-have for your wardrobe.

3. Fancy fusion

Mixing different moods together makes work fashion more interesting. An edgy bomber jacket gets a chic ladylike finish when paired with a feminine trendy skirt. This type of look will take you from a meeting to meet up effortlessly.

4. Dope denim

Jeans have made an epic comeback and become the staple bottom of choice when it comes to workwear styles. They provide a break from pants and can be worn with just about anything on top to give your overall look a professional finish. A well-tailored pair is the best investment piece.

5. About the jacket

When it comes jacket styles you can never go wrong with an array of jackets. They will elevate any look with ease. Leather, satin and velvet are the new updates to create a statement. Bold colours and striking prints such as animal and graphic will be a great addition to your arsenal.

6. Room to breathe

The concept of suiting is no longer reserved to just the typical jacket and pants combo. Smart-casual matching two-pieces make the perfect alternative and come in trendy updates using voluminous silhouettes and fluid tailoring. Pair with an oversized blazer and smart loafers.
