If you’re back to work and have had a little bit of trouble parting with your lockdown-appropriate activewear wardrobe, you’re definitely not alone. Fortunately, local designers have our back-to-work wardrobe sorted with these cosy, on-trend essentials that are sure to make returning to the office that little bit easier.
The timeless dress
Just because winter is well and truly on the way, it doesn’t mean you have to give up your love of floaty, feminine dresses that tend to be synonymous with the warmer seasons.
Look for trans-seasonal dresses that are easy to layer up and dress up and dress down as needed.

The comfy pants
Lazying around in pyjama pants all day might be out of the question now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be just as comfortable – and a whole lot more stylish.
This season, forget about skin-tight jeans and leather pants and opt for always-in-fashion wide-leg pants.
The trusty oversized shirt
No wardrobe is ever really complete without a well-tailored shirt. A great shirt is easy to wear and the versatile staple can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
The cosy knit
While many of us are dreading impending chilly temperatures, snuggling up in cosy knitwear is one way to make the arrival of winter more bearable.
The Classic Coat
If in doubt, layering a great coat over your outfit is one of the quickest ways to elevate your look over the winter months. This season we’re spoilt for choice with classic trenches, oversized coats and autumnal colour palettes all on offer from local designers.
