If there’s one thing we love about the new season, it’s the new styles that come along with it. From spring weddings to sunnier weekends out, a fresh outfit makes any occasion feel ten times more fun. But what about the five days of the week that *don’t* start with S?
Whether you’re working from home, back in the office or flexing somewhere in between, hitting refresh on your work wardrobe can inspire productivity, renew focus and re-energise – or at least have you looking the part until your morning coffee kicks in. From pared-back yet polished day dresses to soft tailoring, these are the Spring 22 trends we can’t wait to wear to work.
Dress the Part
We love the throw-on-and-go appeal of a great work dress. No matter where you are on the office dress code spectrum, this season’s edit covers everything from smart-casual to corporate-friendly. A midi dress is a must-have in your workwear repertoire: it’s got the Goldilocks factor (not short enough to land you on HR’s radar, not long enough to be impractical on the commute); looks great with both flats and heels; and can take you from desk to dinner with a few quick styling swaps. What’s not to love?
Channel springtime chic with a charming gingham dress – the classic pattern and shirt-style silhouette makes it a versatile choice for more relaxed offices. Not into checks? Linen dresses are the perfect way to segue into warmer weather, with brands like AERE and Forever New offering breezy options in a range of lengths and colours.

Suit Up
Soft suiting is one of this season’s biggest trends, and it’s not hard to see why. Depending on the fit, fabric and colour, your suit can channel almost any aesthetic you like. Not sure where to start? Atmos&Here offers women’s suits ranging from cool and confident, to tailored and refined. Take cues from @trashtotreasured and embrace springtime energy in a chic coloured suit – greens, pinks and sky blues are our picks for the season. Master pared-back luxe in relaxed neutral suiting like @racheljames__ – style with box-fresh white sneakers, or a low heel and gold jewellery.
If your workplace calls for a more corporate dress code, heritage Australian brands like Farage and SABA offer timeless suiting and tailored separates crafted to last in your workwear collection for years to come.
A Colourful Capsule
Curating a work capsule wardrobe is one of the easiest ways to streamline your morning. When you’ve got a suite of indispensable basics, polished separates and playful extras in your repertoire, the styling possibilities are endless. This season, we’re bringing a splash of colour to our tried-and-tested workwear faves, and brands like Forcast have nailed the brief. Think trans-seasonal knits in soft colours, jewel-toned tops and the shoes and accessories to tie it all together.
