OFFICE ELEGANCE

Womenswear for the office

Jackets, waistcoats, trousers, blouses and skirts come together in the Dahlia Bianca office edit. Consider designs such as the Harlow jacket, Lina trousers and Ariella waistcoat in relation to your working wardrobe.

For a day moving between a desk and meetings, think about sitting and ease of movement too. Compare the length of an outer layer with the waistline underneath, and review fabric, fit and sizing as you build an outfit.

An office wardrobe with jackets, trousers and blouses

When pairing a jacket or waistcoat with trousers, first compare proportions around the waist and hip. The neckline and sleeves of the blouse underneath work with the layer above to define the look. A related palette lets you change tops across days. Include your workplace's dress expectations and time spent at meetings or a desk in the choice.

Wearing an office piece beyond work

Try a jacket with a T-shirt at the weekend or the trousers with another blouse in the evening. Think of these pairings as well as the first workday outfit when choosing. Fabric care and the room you want when seated matter to its use. Workplace dress codes vary, so the category name should not be treated as a guarantee of suitability for every setting.
