As we pack away our bikinis, sandals and wide-brimmed hats, the time comes to bring forward our office wear rotation to the front of our wardrobes once again. And with the blast of our early-morning alarms comes the same question: 'What should I wear to work today?'.
For this autumn's big office wear reset, we recommend a few simple formulas to ease the daily dressing dilemma. Sharp shoulders and cuts, elevated accessories, perfectly fitted denim trousers, and crisp shirts. So whether your office is the local laptop-friendly café or a sleek inner-city corporate environment, scroll on for Vogue Scandianvia's hand-picked shopping edit that will have you feeling empowered and motivated for this season's big return to work.
Business meeting
This autumn, a schedule full of meetings calls for a statement outfit. Dare to incorporate patterns or add a few centimetres with a subway-friendly block heel.
Sharp as a knife
The confidence to power through the challenges of a work day? It starts with a sharp-as-a-knife ensemble. Confidence-enducing dressing looks different for everyone, but we can assure that well-cut silhouettes and easy neutral tones ar ea great place to start.
Casual yet composed
In 2024, it's safe to say the stereotypical 'office wear' is evolving. Those who are not bound to four corporate walls or strict dress codes can still look just as composed with a shirt, blazer and denim combination. Simply mix up the wash of jeans and blazer hue and you'll never hesitate in front of your wardrobe again.
Monday morning meeting
This autumn, we're campaigning for Mondays to be the new Fridays: a day to ease back in from the weekend, to clamber back to the top of your inbox before firing on all cylinders from Tuesday. The 'fit for the Monday job? We're calling it: smart trousers, a trendy rugby shirt and ballet flats.
Skirts, but supercharged
Picture this: you're about to enter an important meeting to present a big proposal or pitch. You want to pack a punch with your look, while still maintaining a sense of femininity. Our tip? An ankle-length skirt, teamed with perfectly proportioned blazer, tank top and point-toed ankle boots.
