Upgrade your go-to office suit
If you're getting your wardrobe ready for autumn, workwear will probably be one of your main concerns. Figuring out what to wear to the office is tricky at the best of times, and even more so in autumn, when the weather can be unpredictable. Luckily, with our stylish work outfit ideas, you can navigate the changing seasons with ease.
Everyone needs a suit they can rely on when they want to feel put-together. This soft grey herringbone blazer and wide-leg trousers are cut to a contemporary oversized silhouette – the perfect update for autumn 2024. Pair with a simple white vest top while the weather's still warm, then switch to a sleek knit jumper when things get chilly. Keep accessories simple and let the suit speak for itself – all you need is a slim belt and hoop earrings.
Try a versatile denim midi dress
Our button-down denim midi dress is a smart-casual staple you'll wear again and again. It's available in petite, regular and tall lengths, and its fitted silhouette and V-neck are subtly flattering. To layer up when the temperatures drop, throw over a classic autumn trench coat.
To elevate your autumn workwear, have some go-to work accessories that complements every outfit, such as these silver drop earrings. Sunglasses are a must while we're still getting some rays – we love this on-trend rectangular pair. Looking for comfortable work shoes for women? Try these patent slingback flats with an elasticised strap – you'll never need to pack trainers for your commute again.
How to wear a waistcoat to work
The waistcoat is the hottest womenswear trend of 2024, and it's not going anywhere in autumn – so if you're in need of office outfit ideas, look no further. We love this navy pinstripe waistcoat, with its sharp double-breasted silhouette.
Tailored separates are always a workwear winner, so pair it with the matching midaxi skirt for a smart look. For something a little less formal, try teaming your waistcoat with a relaxed midi skirt or maxi skirt in a contrasting colour, like white or neutral. The longer length of these silhouettes makes them ideal autumn work clothes for cooler weather.
