Put strict tailoring and body con on furlough. It’s time to stock up on the softer side of power dressing, be it relaxed tailoring, quirky prints, soft tees, or feminine frocks. All chic, effortless and comfortable they’re bound to improve 9-5 productivity (or at least give that impression). Wear now while the sun shines and later when winter rolls in. 

 

BLAZER GLORY

Inject micro prints into classic tailoring for a feminine twist, then mix them up. Pattern play is all the more fun when you break the rules – houndstooth and stripes? Why not?

 

       

 

 

CASUAL FRIDAY

A fresh blue shirt and summer jeans imbue 9-5 style with timeless elegance and contemporary nous. Add chic tan leather accoutrements and oversized shades that say ‘I mean business’ for en pointe styling.

 

      

 

 

STEAL HIS STYLE

Menswear may have spiked Matteau’s imagination, but via soft tailoring and luxe linen, it’s strictly a feminine silhouette that takes you from the boardroom to the bar with ease. 

 

      

 

 

FROCK SOLID

The right work dress gives us shape, style and makes us stand just that little bit straighter. Best of all it takes just 30 seconds to throw on. No mixing and matching required (which leaves time for that second coffee). Work done. 

 

      

 

 

IT'S BLACK & WHITE

Aside from lunch with your favourite work friend, nothing will make you happier during office hours than Nili Lotan’s chic new season tailoring. Bold stripes and houndstooth? Go bold or go home…

 

      

 

 

LADY LUXE

Creamy colours rendered in a naïve print and sumptuously soft silk point to feminine prowess. Add a sneaker and crossbody for casual day or a bold lip and heel for the boardroom. Purr-fect. 

 

      

 

 

9-5 WARDROBE ENERGISERS

As hard-working as they are beautiful, our new edit of accessories offer that little bit of polish to any look.
