Autumn Workwear Essentials for Her
25 September 2024
As a new season arrives, it's the perfect time to refresh your workwear wardrobe. Whether your office is business formal or has a more relaxed vibe, sometimes putting together a work outfit can feel challenging or even uninspiring. The secret to navigating a good autumn workwear wardrobe? A curated collection of versatile staples that will breathe fresh air into your morning dressing routine. Think dresses, blouses, skirts, and lightweight knits you can wear on repeat. We've curated a selection of workwear essentials that make getting dressed for any office easier.

The blouse you need
No modern workwear wardrobe is complete without a printed blouse. One that slips easily under casual blazers and pairs well with your favourite skinny jeans. We've designed the perfect one. A jersey wrap top in navy and white polka dot print that feels effortlessly feminine. And we've added cuffed sleeves for extra styling points. We love it worn with our textured collarless jacket, paired with jeans – black jeans and quilted pumps. As for a bag option, a leather black rucksack will complete the look.
The fit and flare dress
Dresses are a timeless office staple, and autumn is always the right time to embrace knitted styles. We love our fit-and-flare knitted dress – note the lurex neckline and sleeves for subtle sparkle. Its below-the-knee cut and long sleeves make it a high-impact, low-effort piece perfect for the seasonal shift. Styled with a timeless wool coat and loafers, it's the ultimate autumn wardrobe ensemble. Looking for a new work bag? Our Hobe tote is the one you need.
The relaxed shirt
A relaxed shirt is the true hero of any workwear wardrobe. Here's why: it's lightweight enough to keep you cool, easy to layer on chiller days, and keeps you looking polished without trying too hard. Instead of the usual white, why not upgrade to a pink-striped option? Our poplin shirt is made from cotton, and we've added a pocket at the chest for added detail. Wear it with jeans, layer it under an off-white chunky knit, and to make a real style statement, add a pair of silver chunky loafers.
The game-changing knitted vest
One thing is for sure: knitwear is a must for autumn. And the knitted vest is a game changer. It can give your look a whole different mood, whether layered over a crisp white shirt for a preppy look or to keep the chill at bay. Not only does it add warmth without the bulk, but it's also versatile enough to wear under blazers or on its own during warmer autumn days. We can't imagine an autumn capsule wardrobe without one. For easy styling, pair it with smart chinos, white trainers, and a crossbody bag to complete the look.
The satin slip skirt
Now is the perfect time to invest in a satin slip skirt. Undeniably chic, it offers endless styling potential, making it ideal for work and beyond.
Look no further than our Rowen slip skirt. Its sumptuous, smooth texture feels dressier than jeans but remains versatile enough to be dressed up or down with minimal effort for maximum impact. We love pairing ours with knits, jackets, and boots in similar shades and different textures for a tonal dressing look. Think soft oatmeal, tans, neutrals and suede — it's the ultimate way to refresh your wardrobe this season.
