The Ultimate Guide to Autumn Workwear

 

As the crisp autumn air sets in, it’s time to refresh your workwear wardrobe with seasonal staples that balance style and functionality. Autumn workwear is all about layering, rich textures and versatile pieces that transition effortlessly from office to evening. Whether you’re heading into the office or working from home, these key wardrobe essentials will help you look polished and feel comfortable all season long.

We wear shirt dresses to work all year round, blending a sense of smart style and ease. For autumn workwear, opt for seasonal colours such as deep burgundy or classic navy, layering under a tailored coat for your daily commutes and defining its waist with a chic belt. Pair with ankle boots to complete the look, taking you seamlessly from desk to dinner.

From shirt dresses to the traditional shirt itself. No autumn workwear wardrobe is complete without a collection of crisp shirts, and we’re not just talking the classic white button-downs. This season, transform your shirting styles with prints, textures and relaxed-meets-refined popover shirt silhouettes. Look for soft fabrics like cotton and satin blends to stay comfortable in fluctuating temperatures, whilst playing with prints, from timeless stripes to more whimsical patterns such as our monochrome Diandra Satin Devore Top, to add interest to your look. Pair your shirt with tailored trousers or tuck into a midi skirt for an effortlessly chic office-ready ensemble.

 

Autumn is the perfect time to embrace sharp suiting. A well-tailored blazer instantly elevates any workwear outfit, adding structure and sophistication. Whether you prefer a full power suit co-ord or just the blazer, opt for rich tonal styles or prints that stand the test of time. Our Gina Check Blazer ticks all the boxes, from seasonal shades to a structured check print, with a matching mini skirt to add a playful edge to the work day outfit.

 

 

As the temperature drops, layering with knitwear becomes essential for autumn workwear, especially if you don’t have control over the office air conditioning. Cosy jumpers and cardigans are perfect for both style and comfort, whether you reach for a textured knit, bold patterns or feminine finishing touches like the ribbon detail of our Kaila Tie Detail Jumper. From chic oversized jumpers with tailored trousers or a fitted cardigan over a shirt dress, knitwear will ensure warmth and comfort whilst maintaining a professional look.

 

 

The right coat is essential to finish off your autumn workwear wardrobe. The focus of your commute outfits, its important to invest in outerwear you love, and reflects your personal style. A black coat is the go-to for versatility, whilst a trench coat is a timeless option that adds a sleek, polished layer without being overly formal.

 

 

Autumn accessories can make all the difference when it comes to pulling your workwear look together. A structured tote or crossbody bag is perfect for carrying your essentials in style. Reach for classic colours like black or tan to match the season’s palette, which can also be carried over to belts – another great way to elevate your workwear. Cinch a shirt dress or add definition to an oversized blazer with a statement belt in textured leather or metallic accents to complete your look.

 

This autumn, elevate your workwear with timeless staples that are as stylish as they are practical. From versatile shirt dresses to tailored blazers and cosy knitwear, these pieces offer endless possibilities for mixing and matching throughout the season. With the right accessories and outerwear, your autumn workwear wardrobe will keep you looking polished and feeling comfortable, no matter where the day takes you.
