Hi, friends! Em here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of the new season is a perfect time to reassess your office wardrobe. However, with some of us working from home, some from the office, and others somewhere in between, what does workwear mean now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a busy entrepreneur, there’s nothing more essential than a wardrobe that balances style and functionality. When managing multiple responsibilities, time is of the essence and there’s simply no room for outfit changes or uncomfortable clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to curate a wardrobe that seamlessly transitions from one occasion to the next, without the need for multiple closets. Now, more than ever, workwear wardrobes must consist of versatile, hard-working pieces that can effortlessly navigate a variety of dress codes: from cafe-to-desk dresses to home-office-to-boardroom blouses, to tailored pieces that can easily take you from a Zoom call to a lunch meeting and back again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of sharing, today I’ll be unveiling my go-to workwear heroes for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. THE POLKA-DOT PRINT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The polka dot print has always been a crowd favourite, and this season it’s making a comeback in the office. It’s time to ditch the mundane work wardrobe and inject some personality into your style, and what better way to do that than with the playful and timeless polka dot print?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new season collection, The Ranch, we’ve incorporated the iconic brown dot print into a number of different styles, giving a nod to the true west aesthetic. From the Lattice Midi Dress to the Genoa Mini Dress<\/a> and even Classic Button Down Shirt with Gross Grain Tie<\/a>, you’ll see the playful yet sophisticated print sprinkled throughout the collection, offering you a range of options for every day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. THE TONAL KNIT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interviewing for a new job? Consider wearing a tonal knit to make a great first impression, such as the Crew Neck Billow Sleeve Knit Sweater in Tonal Ivory<\/a>. The monochromatic colour scheme creates a polished and put-together look, while the soft and cozy texture of the knit fabric adds an element of comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonal knits, whether in the form of a sweater or a cardigan, are easily adaptable to different office settings and can be dressed up or down with ease. Layer it over a collared shirt, pair it with dress pants or a pencil skirt for a complete look. Not only are tonal knits versatile, but they are also practical for transitioning between seasons and perfect for those chilly office temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. THE TAILORED SHIRT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mastering the art of the 9-to-5 wardrobe lies in the quintessential classic, menswear-inspired poplin shirt that, when styled right, delivers a comfortable yet professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One easy item to incorporate into your no-fail workwear formula is the Classic Button Down Shirt in Brown \/ White Stripe<\/a>. Cut from lightweight cotton voile, it’s ideal for working long hours in the office while remaining comfortable. This versatile shirt can seamlessly take you from a boardroom meeting to after-office drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out in your career, the Classic Button Down Shirt in Brown \/ White Stripe is an essential item for mastering your workwear capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A HINT OF FLORAL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s a big call, but adding a hint of floral prints to your work wardrobe can be the perfect way to add a touch of femininity and brightness to any office setting. With the right styling, you can easily incorporate this playful and versatile print into your professional look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to opt for subtle floral accents, such as the Laid Back Shirt in Full Bloom Floral<\/a> paired with tailored pants or blue denim jeans with heels. This will add a pop of colour and pattern without being too overpowering or distracting and will bring a touch of spring to your office attire. So, don’t be afraid to experiment with floral prints and add a touch of personality to your work wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
