Seasonal Styles for Work: Staying comfortable in summer need not mean compromising on business attire dress codes. Leave the heavyweight knits and wool blends for winter warmth and look to summer work dresses in lighter fabrics and airy silhouettes for breezy cuts with equally refined appeal. Cotton poplin shirt dresses, linen dresses and lightweight knit dresses make for summer-ready corporate workwear, best styled with lightweight blazers for cohesive layering to take your ensemble into the night.

Complete Your Workwear Look

Versatile dresses: Browse work dress styles for important meetings and corporate events alike, with plenty of choice in womenswear options to suit professional settings. Generally, work dresses should sit on or below the knee in a muted colour palette or subtle print. Long sleeves work for one-and-done work outfits, while short-sleeve and sleeveless dresses can be layered with corporate blazers and jackets. A midi workwear dress offers elegant coverage in length yet can be contemporary and on-trend in cut. A sheath dress is a neat, foundational style in timeless corporate dress staples, along with classic shift dresses. Lean into boss energy with blazer dresses made from smooth suiting and detailed with double-breasted buttons for contemporary corporate wear with a tailored, sophisticated finish.
