5 Winter Wardrobe Essentials for Work

Every working woman’s wardrobe needs a selection of empowering workwear essentials to see her through winter. Whether it’s an updated take on the work blouse or a timeless coat to wear over your separates, read on to see the women's workwear essentials we’re coveting for the colder months ahead.

Animal print dress

It may be cold but that won’t stop us from dressing our best for work this season. And just because the temperature has dropped, doesn’t mean you can’t wear a dress. So what better piece to elicit outfit envy in the office than a midi dress? Make heads turn this season with an all-over neutral-toned animal print dress.

Adorned all over with a classic print and featuring a waist tie to accentuate your figure, you’ll want to wear it on repeat. Made in a demure midi length that keeps you covered, this piece looks great when paired with to-the-knee boots, for a look that’s perfectly fitting for when the weather is cold.

Keyhole blouse

What could be more essential to a working wardrobe than a blouse? This winter, we’re reaching for long sleeves to stay warm and a pop of violet to brighten our cold-weather closet. Look to an all-over print, high scoop neckline and front keyhole with button closure for a piece that sets itself apart from your other work shirts. Style the blouse with black pants or a work skirt and carry a clutch for a complete look that nails the corporate dress code.

Two-button coat

If there’s one cover-up you need to have in your winter workwear wardrobe, it’s the cromby coat. This classic piece features a relaxed, cosy fit that makes it perfect for wear over your work separates. Pull it on over anything, from knitwear and dress shirts to tailored trousers and pencil skirts to complete your look. When you need an added layer of warmth on those chilly winter workdays, a coat is an essential you can’t go without.

Notch neck blouse

We love wearing blouses to work all year long. Easy to style with a variety of different bottoms, a floral blouse is a piece that requires minimum effort to provide you with maximum style. So if you’re looking for a top that works as hard as you do, this blouse is a must-have for your working wardrobe.

Look elevated and ready for the boardroom in delicate shades of blue that liven up your look. Featuring a scoop notch neckline with a front button placket and an all-over floral print, this piece makes for a decidedly feminine addition to your weekly winter rotation. Wear it tucked in or leave it out with ponte pants for an outfit that takes you through your 9-5 in style.
