AW23 Workwear Trends From The Catwalks
Power Blazers: Blazers are always a classic workwear staple, but this season they’re getting a bold update with oversized shoulders and boxy silhouettes. Look for blazers in neutral shades like black, grey, and camel, or opt for a pop of colour with a bright red or blue. Check out the Givenchy show for inspiration.
Pencil Skirts: Add an instant touch of sophistication to your workwear wardrobe with a sleek pencil skirt. The ultimate example? The blazer/skirt combinations seen on the Prada AW23 runways.
Wide-Leg Trousers: Say goodbye to skinny jeans and hello to wide-leg trousers for your AW23 workwear wardrobe. These pants are comfortable and stylish, and look chic with a tucked-in blouse for a sophisticated office-ready look. This trend was all over the autumn catwalks, see Tory Burch for a great example.
Silk Shirts: For a touch of luxury, invest in a silk shirt this season. Chic, lightweight and breathable, they are perfect for layering under blazers (see trend one!). Look for classic colours like white, black, and navy that will last for seasons to come. Dare to bare with the plunging necklines seen at Saint Laurent.
Loafers: This season, despite ballet pumps being described as the ‘shoe of the season’, loafers are the only practical and chic shoe of choice for your AW23 workwear wardrobe. Opt for details like buckles or tassels, like those seen at Versace.
