For Shirts: Brooks Brothers
A heritage American brand renowned for its classic, refined clothing, Brooks Brother is the place to go for tailored men’s fashion that won’t empty your wallet. After all, just about every modern man will, at some point, find themselves in need of a classic dress shirt. For women, we favour this statement-making tuxedo shirt that can be worn either with a svelte tux for evening occasions, or dressed down with casual slacks or jeans for a polished office look.

For Tops: Totême
If you’re a fashion-forward individual, you might already have Totême on your radar – albeit not necessarily for their work-ready clothing. That needs to change. Slightly more on the swanky side, yet still wearable, their pieces will instantly elevate any look. Exhibit A: this understated yet chic crepe de chine camisole that will layer perfectly under other garments year-around. Exhibit B: this tasteful strapless top that will make you the star of any gathering.

Take this impeccable leather midi skirt, for example, ideal for casual office days, or this simple form-fitting black dress that can carry you from work to Thursday night happy hour.

When warmer weather nears (one hopes), dresses become an excellent choice for work-appropriate wear – with a few caveats, of course. For something classy and effortless, turn to LouLou Studios’ dress collection. Personally, we have our eyes on this light yellow cotton-poplin dress that’s long and loose enough to be demure (and comfortable) but fashionable enough to feel fresh.

If you’re the type to feel overwhelmed by the weight of a coat, on the other hand, a stylish jacket is likely to be more suitable. Another staple in major fashion districts around the world, from NYC to Madrid, & Other Stories offers an array of options. Our favourite, however, is this belted wool jacket that will pair well with jeans, a turtleneck sweater and high heels – just an idea.
