How To Nail Casual Workwear

As the work environment changes, so does what we want out of our workwear. The tactile experience of our clothing is a trend that shows no sign of slowing down. That’s why you’ll love styling our Tiarne Textured Tunic for days at work. This tunic features a fun, all-over textured fabrication in a stunning cinnamon hue. Add a scoop neckline, three-quarter sleeves, and a sharkbite hemline to the mix and you get a tunic that offers you just the right amount of coverage as well as a solid hue that’s easy to team with anything.

Wear With: Capris and ballet flats.

Another advantage to casual workwear is being able to experiment with the silhouettes you’re styling for the office. While we’re all familiar with pencil skirts and suit skirts, this Knit Pleat Skirt showcases a very different silhouette to that more formal style. Thanks to the elasticated waistband and relaxed fit, you’ll still be comfortable all day long. But this breezy design also features an all-over pleated fabrication that immediately makes this full-length skirt look more formal. You can dress this skirt up for the office just as easily as you can style it for your weekend plans.

Wear With: A long-sleeved top and loafers.

Casual workwear doesn’t mean you need to say goodbye to your more formal workwear pieces. In fact, mixing up your look with casual and more formal pieces is a great way to strike the right balance with your casual workwear. Our Kendra Jacket features an ivory pinstripe hue, slim lapels, and shoulder padding detail for added structure. While this jacket can easily tie up more formal workwear, it can also elevate your casual ensemble for meetings and work events when you want to put your best foot forward.

It’s pretty and comfortable thanks to the relaxed fit, but it’s also appropriate for days when you want to look more put together.
