WHAT TO WEAR TO WORK

WORK IT: EASY OFFICE PIECES

Looking to refresh your workwear? Upgrade your office style with trench coats, covetable skirts and commute-friendly footwear

The classic trench

We all know the sinking feeling of opening the wardrobe and wondering what on earth you’re going to wear to work. Changing dress codes, unpredictable weather, and the morning rush can make finding easy but elegant looks for the office a challenge. Happily, we’re here to help. These failsafe office outfit ideas will mean you always having something to wear. Searching for a polished but modern office look? You won’t go wrong with our double-breasted trench coat. It has our rain-defying Stormwear technology and is made with recycled polyester. It instantly upgrades any outfit; we like it worn over a shirt dress for easy early morning dressing: add tights and boots until the weather warms.

The longer-length skirt

Maxi and midaxi (which fall slightly lower than your calf) skirts are a chic choice for office dressing Longer length skirts are still a key trend in 2024, so there’s plenty of stylish options to choose from. Swish your way through the commute in this pleated midaxi skirt, which has a side split for ease of movement. We’re styling it with a white, oversized shirt and a short sleeve knitted jumper.

Look for satin textures to create a more polished look, like this black midaxi skirt or this striking check maxi skirt from our M&S Collection range.
