Slide Nr 2For 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.

Slide Nr 3For 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.

If sustainability is at the top of your list of concerns when it comes to building an everyday wardrobe, consider The Frankie Shop.

Few can do ‘refined’ quite as well as the British, and London-based label Reiss provides further proof.

Slide Nr 6For Skirts & Dresses: Max Mara
We know what you’re thinking: Max Mara coats carry a hefty price tag. We’re not about to debate that (although you’d be shocked at what you can find during their sales), however we invite you to take a look at other equally well-made garments from the coveted brand. 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.

Slide Nr 9For Shirt Dresses: LouLou Studio
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.

Slide Nr 12For Jackets: & Other Stories
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.
