You don’t have to endure a painstaking commute to indulge in the working chic trend! In fact, “trend” may not be the right word: it’s more of a timeless look that can be tweaked to easily adhere to every season’s new trend.

Back to Basics

Timeless and flattering, black and grey staples are the perfect base to build an eye-catching ensemble. Don’t be scared to fully indulge in your dark side and layer black on black! Your favourite tailored basics can be elevated through accessories and statement pieces, offering endless combinations and styling opportunities. Need the perfect LBD to get started? Try Tiana B’s figure-hugging bodycon dress, and pair it with an ever-elegant pair of slingbacks.

A Pop of Colour

Even though we’re all about timeless greys and blacks, the working chic attire doesn’t have to be mundane—set your look apart with a spark of colour and personality! Danielle Nicole’s Kinsley crossbody and Cole Haan’s tali bow pump are the ideal statement accessories to brighten up your nine-to-five ensemble. The bright red cuffs and collar of this double breasted glencheck boyfriend jacket will infuse work-wear inspired looks with a tailored appeal and an eye-catching touch of colour.

Play with Silhouettes

Colour isn’t the only way to create visual interest when working with darker palettes. Juxtapose an oversized jacket with more refined, tailored pieces and layer different lengths to achieve a perfectly curated look. Try pairing a long, oversized trench with a sleek pencil skirt for a runway-inspired look that is perfectly adaptable for everyday wear.
