Discover what to wear to work and upgrade your office style with AW17’s latest nine-to-five arrivals. From printed suits to desk-to-dinner dresses, here are the five key pieces you need to create the office-appropriate looks that promise to put in the hours.

1. The Shift Dress

The shift dress is synonymous with 60s styling, serving as inspiration for the modern-day designs that form a key part of the office style rotation. Embrace the trend with this classic black shift dress, detailed with a Peter Pan collar and white trims which create a delicate contrast. Play to its retro feel with block-heeled court shoes in black, injecting a modern dose of colour with a teal shoulder bag.
