These 16 work clothing brands will instantly upgrade your office wardrobe

& Other Stories is a mainstay high street label for quality, chic work clothing – especially if you’re looking for tailored separates and co-ords, smart jumpers and fancy midi dresses. Sure, the prices are a little higher but, speaking from experience, these pieces stand the test of time both in terms of quality and design.

Chances are you’re already well-acquainted with Zara, but maybe haven’t thought to look for dedicated workwear here. Amongst the partywear and the comfy basics, you’ll find tailored staples perfect for the office with the same trend-led design as the rest of Zara’s edits.

We fondly refer to COS as H&M’s older sister. With slightly more relaxed, grown-up styles in muted colour palettes and subtle prints but still with plenty of Scandi cool girl style – AKA perfect for your work wear wardrobe!

If you’re after bang for your buck from your work clothing, you really should check out Mango, as well as its extended curve offering. Why? Because their pieces are the perfect balance of smart casual and effortless cool which means that, regardless of whether you buy a co-ord, blazer, dress or bag, you’re bound to want to wear it outside of work hours too.

We all want to shop more sustainably, but there’s no denying that eco-conscious purchases tend to cost a little more. Enter Omnes, the London-based brand ticking all the boxes – stylish pieces, affordable price points and made from environmentally-friendly and recycled fabrics. They’ve got wedding guest dressing sorted, but their latest collections are also well-suited to your workwear wardrobe, too.

Committed to providing fashionable and on-trend clothing for women with curves, Simply Be do *exactly* that. With most pieces ranging in size from a UK 10 up to a 32, there really is something for every body. Check ’em out for incred midi dresses, very wearable blouses and smart trousers.

H&M is another high street fave for trendy It-pieces that will instantly elevate your standard Mon-Fri ‘fits. It’s worth checking out H&M Edition, the brand’s edit of designer-inspired items available in luxe fabrics too. Pieces have a slightly higher price point than you’d usually expect, but are very much worth it, IMO.
