4 Ways To Elevate Your Winter Workwear This Year

Bring a new level of panache to your everyday.

Conversations around 'uniform dressing', along with the shift to a partial WFH situation for most, have completely changed the way people think about dressing for work in recent years. Unless you work at a big 4 bank that still requires a full suit, your choices of what to wear at the office are generally endless, yet people are increasingly finding it easier to rely on a few key staples to carry them through before they can dress up for the weekend.

This isn't a bad thing, of course, but with winter workwear calling for layers, outerwear and long pants, there are plenty of avenues not only for experimentation, but to let your own fashion sense shine through. Because dressing office-appropriate need not be boring. Here are a few suggestions.

Funky Knitwear

Thin jumpers are an office wear staple and always will be, but we think there's something to be said for making your knitwear more of a statement. The designs of brands like Bode, Gucci and ALD have, in recent years, brought a new lease of life to bold, colourful and textured knitwear—like what your nan would make, but make it fashun. A chunky jumper, jacquard cardigan or vest looks great with a pair of chinos and some smarter shoes.

Elevated Shirting

Is the classic button-up Oxford shirt dead? Of course not, but it has had to make space in the mainstream conversation for a number of different styles that have roared back into fashion in recent years. Knitted polos, shirts and camp collar bowling shirts have also made their way from the red carpet into the party scene, and if your office is a bit more casual, there's no reason they can't be worn to work as well.

Relaxed Pants

Have you been hanging on to your slim-fit office pants for dear life? We regret to inform you that the gig is up. Skinny pants may well circle back into fashion at some point, but it's not this year, and it's time to look at something with a little more legroom. The good news is that the relaxing of most office dress codes have opened up a ream of options, from 90s-inspired stone-wash jeans or pleated trousers. Just opt for a fit that’s more relaxed, like a straight cut or wide-leg.

Fresh Footwear

We get it: you love your R.M. Williams. They'll never go out of style. But that's not to say they're all you have to wear if you don't feel like pulling on a pair of sneakers. Chunky loafers and Oxfords—look for brands like Dr Martens, Sebago and G.H. Bass—dress both up and down extremely well, and can make incredibly versatile additions to your rotation if you're willing to experiment with different fits.
