With working from home becoming more of a norm over the last few years, many of us swapped pinstripes for pyjamas as our dining rooms became makeshift offices.
Whether you’ve been called back to the office, you never left or you just want to look a little smarter during your Zoom calls, there’s always room in your wardrobe for new workwear.
And you’re in luck because our retailers at the Bridges have everything you need to help you plan an outfit that will really make an impact…
WOMEN
New Look, Floral Dress
If you’re often in a rush in the mornings then dresses are a great option if you don’t want to waste time hunting around for matching separates. If you take the time to find one you really like then it’s sure to become a staple in your weekend wardrobe too.
Price £33.99
H&M, V Neck Blouse
Simple yet stylish, a v neck blouse is a versatile option which makes it very easy to style. Wear it loose over a pair of trousers for a more casual outfit or tuck it into a patterned skirt if you need something a little more formal.
Price £12.99
Yours, Black Ditsy Floral Maxi Skirt
Maxi skirts work for all weathers, depending on how you style them. Add a black jumper, tights and boots for the colder mornings or bare legs and sandals for the summer months.
Price £26.99
Schuh, Black Laney Point Stud Flat Shoes
Whether you work at a desk or on a shop floor, a pair of smart black shoes are a workwear essential. Black doesn’t have to be boring though and this studded design is a great way of injecting some personality into a uniform.
Price £17.99
Primark, Co Check Boyfriend Blazer
A boyfriend blazer is a stylish way to dress up an otherwise casual outfit so you won’t be caught out if you’re suddenly called into a meeting.
Price £23
MEN
Next, Slim Tapered Trimmed Check Heritage Trousers
Who said patterns are just for the girls? While there might be less options for men out there, going for a check or a stripe over a plain colour is a sure-fire way to upgrade your work wardrobe.
Price £34
River Island, Ecru Slim Fit Cable Knit V Neck Vest
The sweater vest is back in style! Keep it plain and simple by opting for neutral colours or pair it with a bright tee underneath to really make a statement in the office.
Price £35
New Look, Only & Sons Stone Ribbed Colour Block Crew Jumper
Easily dressed up or down depending on the rest of your outfit, this two-toned jumper is a stylish piece without drawing too much attention to itself.
Price £33.99
Clarks, CitiStrideRise Black Leather
An elegant black shoe might be a safe option but it’s a great staple to have in your workwear collection. If your job involves being on your feet then you’ll want to make sure you have footwear that lasts and Clarks has a fantastic selection to choose from.
Price £89
H&M, Oxford shirt Muscle Fit
Unless you work in a very formal environment, you’re unlikely to need a pressed, white shirt. However, shirts are very versatile pieces to have and so finding a pattern or style that works for you is key.
