We’re embracing relaxed tailoring for our work wardrobe this winter, and these wide-leg pants will be on heavy rotation. With belt loops and flattering front and side pleats, they provide structure without sitting tight across the waist or thighs. Pair with a knit jumper or complete the look with the effortlessly cool Tailored Oversized Dad Blazer for a suited-and-booted finish.

Materials: 68% Polyester, 24% Viscose, 8% Elastane

If there’s one piece that gets an absolute thrashing in a capsule winter wardrobe, it’s a classic longline blazer. The boxy shape and extended length of this Atmos & Here number make it universally flattering. Our winter workwear rule: if you have a boxy black blazer, a crisp white T-shirt, and a well-cut pair of jeans, you always have something to wear.

Sizes: 18 – 22

Colours: Black, cream

Materials: Main: 96% Polyester + 4% Elastane. Lining: 100% Polyester

We love a coordinating suit set in our winter workwear wardrobe. Team the jacket and pants for those power-suit Mondays, or split them up for a host of new outfit options. The pinstripe print can be dressed up or down. Wear the jacket over a dress or jeans, and rock the pants with a plain white T-shirt and gold jewellery for casual Friday.

Sizes: 16 – 26

Materials: 88% Polyester, 12% Elastane

This winter, merlot isn’t just for drinking. These deep berry tones are set to be the hottest shade of the season. Our pick: this burgundy knit top, the perfect layering piece for the office. Designed to fit and flatter in all the right places, the wide neckline and ribbed knit offer a point of difference. The long length skims over the waist and thighs, which means it can be tucked into pants or jeans.

Sizes: 16 – 22

Materials: 47% Polyamide, 36% Viscose, 17% Cotton

Make sure you have a couple of chunky knits in your winter workwear wardrobe to keep you snug on chilly morning commutes (and when your colleague turns the heating down). This wool-blend jumper can be tucked into pants or jeans, or thrown over the shoulders of a blazer for effortless elegance.

Sizes: 18 – 26

Colours: Black, green, merlot

Materials: 75% Acrylic, 15% Wool, 10% Nylon

The elastic waistband is no longer just for sweatpants, baby. It gets a chic upgrade in these loose viscose-blend pants. Lightweight and flattering, with full-length and side pockets, these pants perfectly bridge the gap between practical and stylish. They’ll take you effortlessly from desk to date night.

Sizes: 18 – 26

Colours: Black, dark khaki

If you’ve ever been personally victimised by a classic white shirt that won’t button up over the girls, this is the one for you. The front pleats provide more room and a touch of detailing for extra zing. Balloon sleeves offer volume without bulk, with wrist cuffs and a shorter length that avoids any “nana-y” vibes. Best of all, Ruby offers custom sizing at no extra cost if your size isn’t listed on the website.

Sizes: 4 – 20 (custom sizing available)

Materials: 100% organic cotton

A throw-on number you don’t have to think about? That’s a winter capsule wardrobe essential. This knit dress will be on weekly rotation, thanks to its pull-over style and stretch rib fabric. Balloon sleeves add volume without cling, and tight cuffs shape the silhouette. The mid-length cut is perfect for showing off new winter boots. We’re getting one in every colour.

Sizes: 12 – 24

Colours: Mushroom, black, bordeaux

Materials: 100% polyester

Don’t shy away from colour in your work wardrobe. This electric blue shade will turn heads, and we’re big fans of a bold print to give our winter wardrobe a bit of a zhush. This flowing chiffon midi dress has a secure lining for a smooth silhouette and a removable waist tie for a flattering fit. The stand collar and button details add interest. It’s breezy for summer days, or easily layered with boots and a jumper in winter.

Sizes: 16 – 24

Material: 100% polyester
