Dress for Success: What to Wear When Venturing Back Into the Office
With a focus on comfort and function, our workplace dress codes have evolved over the past couple of years.
Although we’re saying goodbye to virtual meetings and dingy makeshift home offices, many of us are not yet ready to let go of our comfy WFH staples and lucky for us, there’s a way to combine both function and form in an aesthetically stylish way.
Words By Ruby Staley
The Comfy Creative
When you put comfort first, both work and play become more enjoyable.
For a fuss free approach to everyday dressing that allows your creativity to flow into your work, rather than worrying about your clothes, we’ve got you.
Perfect for the creatives, the hospitality workers and the casual workplace dwellers who love feeling comfortable at all times throughout the day, go for neutral shades, durable fabrics and classic comfy designs.
Perfect for WFH, in the studio or at a creative shared workspace, adding pairs of quality robust denim, modern and comfortable trainers, and relaxed tees and shirts into your wardrobe rotation helps you achieve an instantly sophisticated, yet extremely casual look.
A workwear brand to its core, Carhartt Work In Progress’ Black Bib Midi Dress is a fun play on the classic overalls and would be a perfect addition to your neutral work wardrobe.
An easy pairing for a casual, yet cool work ‘fit would be the Camilla and Marc Loremo Suede Leather Shirt in Indigo with the Eytys Blue and Black Benz Jeans and finished with Hereu Salabre Cross Body Bag and Asics UB3 Gel Nimbus 9 Trainers.
Proving that comfort and cool do, in fact, go hand in hand.

The Fun Modern Workplace
For the bright and the bold who are never found in neutrals.
If you’re someone who finds inspiration and happiness in compiling a fabulous outfit, your workday uniform should be full of fun and exciting pieces to choose from.
Improve your mood in the morning by add a pop of colour and pattern into your daily outfit, whether that’s with a block-coloured work tote or a head-to-toe outfit featuring clashing patterns.
Perfect for a forward-thinking, creative or modern workplace, trying out the latest in cutting edge fashion and styling eccentric combinations for your workdays could be just the thing to put a bit of extra pep in your step.
Go adventurous with patterns with either the Marine Serre Melange A-Line Skirt or Eckhaus Latta’s Grey Glitch Lounge Pants to start.
Paired with the brightly coloured GCDS Cardigan and the bold Bottega Veneta Arco Intrecciato Effect Tote, this outfit is eye-catching and boundary pushing in all the best ways, while still being workplace appropriate.
Adding a fun, yet comfy, shoe like Balenciaga’s Black Crocs Edition Pool Slides is the perfect way to finish off a cool and colourful outfit for an equally cool and colourful workplace.

The Corporate Capsule
Many of the most successful founders in history relied on a considered capsule wardrobe.
With a curated set of high quality, classy pieces to select from, decision making in the morning is minimised, meaning there’s brainpower for more important decisions throughout the day.
Although they may be minimal, capsule wardrobes don’t have to be boring.
In fact, having a finite number of garments that you truly love and feel great in for the workplace can still allow for creative styling, personal expression, while feeling confident and comfortable.
When you think of classic corporate wear, I wouldn’t be surprised if the iconic Prada Mesh Pumps come to mind. But a loafer or a similar comfortable work shoe is the foundation for your workplace capsule.
From there, high quality basic shirts, turtlenecks and knits are a must – usually in neutral tones but not always. Acne Studios’ Klare Knitted Cardigan is a perfect place to start for an adaptable top that can be worn a variety of ways, on its own and under blazers and coats.
A classic pair of pants such as the Taller Marmo Two-Tone Wide-Leg Pants, and a sturdy blazer or trench coat like Camilla and Marc’s Tomas Trench Coat is a must.
Top the look off with a neutral office bag you can carry with you daily, like Saint Laurent’s Leather Tote Bag, and you’re set.
Acne Studios Klare Knitted Cotton-blend Cardigan, $830 – available at MATCHESFASHION
