The A-to-Z on the perfect workplace outfits for your 9-to-5.
Clock in for autumn at the office with our new transitional workwear guide.
Not sure what to wear to work when the weather gets colder? No problem – this blog post will inspire your workwear wardrobe with a seasonal refresh. You’re sure to look great and feel cosy wearing these dresses, blouses and jumpers.
Izabel London is all about finding your inner confidence, so these looks are specially-designed to give you the energy you need to tackle whatever your workday has in store.
You can’t go wrong when wearing knitwear to the office. Jumpers and cardigans are seasonal wardrobe favourites, and for good reason.
These cosy knits provide the perfect source of comfort in chilly weather (or office air conditioning) – and they’re a simple way to refresh your outfit throughout the day too. Jumpers, cardigans and knitted vests can elevate any casual outfit for a more professional finish, while an oversized sweatshirt will add instant comfort to even the most formal look.
Layering is key: for example, you can style your cardigan unbuttoned over a t-shirt in the morning, then transform the look for professional afternoon meetings simply by fastening up the buttons.
If there’s one item you need in your workwear wardrobe for the transitional seasons, it’s a good pair of trousers. The right ones can be worn with any top, and they’ll match with any dress code.
Consider your personal style and body type while choosing the perfect trousers. A high waist can lengthen the legs, while cropped trousers and or culottes will shorten their appearance. A wide fit will create a flattering silhouette on all figures, and tapered trousers will look more professional and formal. How to style them is up to you – there are no rules! Choose from cargo trousers, loose jeans or relaxed fit trousers to create the perfect laid-back office outfit. More professional settings might call for fitted trousers or black bootcut jeans.
As for colour: you can never go wrong with neutrals. Brown, black or white are easy to match together and a great way to break up bolder colours or prints so you can avoid a dreaded colour clash.
A skirt is a must-have for your office wardrobe. Make the most of your curves in a bodycon maxi skirt, or create an elegant silhouette with a high waist a-line midi. For a bohemian-inspired look that’s perfect with tights and ankle boots, try a hanky hem pleated midi skirt with a layered jumper.
You can also style one of the Izabel London smart faux leather skirts for professional occasions. Make it the statement of the outfit by tucking in a relaxed blouse or knitted top, then style with your favourite accessories. Trade office-ready flats for some heels and you’re ready for a spontaneous date night after work too!
There are plenty of prints to choose from in our dress collection: from autumn leaf print dresses that will match with the season, to classic pinstripes and polka dot dresses. Pair your midi or maxi dress with plain tights, knitwear and boots for an effortless autumnal look.
Get extra warmth from knitted dresses made from breathable materials such as viscose and cotton. Choose from stylish features such as high necks, long sleeves and flattering tie waist dresses that will look stylish and elegant, while keeping you warm.
