Crafting the perfect workwear wardrobe doesn’t have to be difficult... RUBY Stylist + Digital Manager, Abi, shares her go to formula, from how to layer, to her everyday staples, providing everything you need to effortlessly elevate your very own winter office outfits.
Outerwear
The right outer layer should feel like the finishing touch and should instantly elevate any workwear wardrobe, especially through the colder months. Our Lumi Trench Coat is perfect for this ~ a relaxed, midi-length trench designed in a neutral sandstone colour, designed to fit seamlessly across all office outfits. Style it buttoned up, just as Ella has done, for chilly winter days, or wear it open with the belt tied back for an effortless, casual-chic look.
We also can't forget the star of our workwear offering ~ our beloved Coco Blazer. Available in both short and long sleeves, you can add warmth in winter by layering with a merino tank or turtleneck knit underneath.
Lightweight Knits
Every winter workwear wardrobe needs quality lightweight knitwear. The trick to creating a capsule wardrobe is to find versatile pieces that work alone or layer seamlessly under jackets and coats. For example, our Esme Polo Shirt is great worn on its own, just as Ella has styled it, though it is also ideal as a light layer over a tank during trans seasonal weather, or under sweaters or jackets when the temperature drops.
Our Rockie V-Neck Long Sleeve is another great addition to your workwear wardrobe. Crafted from 100% merino wool, it’s naturally warm and lightweight and designed to layer without feeling bulky. Not to forget the flattering V-neck shape that doesn’t cut too low, it’s an essential for anyone who is seeking practical yet elevated office clothing.
Denim
Work appropriate jeans DO exist ~ our Icon Studded Jean + Buzz Jean are proof. Our Icon Studded Jeans feature refined stud detailing, which instantly elevates the denim to give it a chic and dressy look. Our Buzz Jeans feature a modern barrel leg silhouette and panel detailing, which instantly enhances the jeans from an everyday basic to a workwear staple.
The trick to wearing denim in the office is to opt for a dark or white wash. This really elevates the look, where traditional blue denim can sometimes look too casual for office attire.
Staple Sweaters
You can also elevate your winter workwear wardrobe by adding staple sweaters that are versatile and easy to layer when the cooler weather kicks in. Our Rhea Sweaters are ideal for the office, designed to be a relaxed fit and made from a premium mohair wool blend in a range of neutral colours. They’re easy to mix and match with tailored trousers, denim, and skirts. Ella has styled with a white t-shirt underneath and pushed up the sleeves to add some depth and texture to the outfit.
Everyday Trousers
No winter wardrobe is complete without the perfect everyday trousers. Our Andie Suit Pant is a great option for those who prefer an elasticated waist, while our Firebird Pant offers a fitted waist and straight leg silhouette. If you’re after a more tailored look, our classic Rue Trousers have just made a return in a luxe espresso shade ~ a slouchy, suit-style pant with a wide yet straight leg. We also have our Jed Pant, which offers a suit-inspired barrel leg shape for those who seek a more contemporary tailored look. There really is a workwear trouser something for everyone!
