Workwear
Women's workwear for the whole working week
Forcast has dressed Australian women for work since 1992. The range is built around tailoring that holds its shape from the first meeting to the last train home: suit sets to wear together or split, work pants in every cut from slim to wide leg, work dresses that are one decision and a whole outfit, and the shirts, blouses and knits that finish them. Every style is cut in sizes 4 to 18.
Shop workwear by piece
Start with the piece your wardrobe is missing. Work blazers and jackets come in single-breasted, double-breasted and collarless cuts, and many share a fabric with a matching pant or skirt, so a suit can be built one piece at a time. Work skirts run from pencil to A-line and midi. Pieces like the Nikki Tailored Pants and the Mae Satin Shirt are the kind that carry a week on their own.
Dress codes, decoded
Not every office wants the same thing. Our classic corporate edit is the formal end of the range: structured suiting, pencil skirts and sleeved dresses for client-facing roles. Business casual softens the tailoring with cardigans, knit tops and relaxed pants for offices with a looser code. Smart casual covers the days between, when the outfit still has to look deliberate.
How to wear it
Our team's advice is simple. A suit is what to reach for when you do not know what to wear. Soften a tailored blazer and matching pant with a plain tank or a fine knit, then split the set later: the blazer over denim or a dress, the pant with a relaxed knit or a crisp shirt. Tucking a top into tailored pants keeps the line clean, leaving it loose reads more relaxed, and a blazer over a casual top makes the whole outfit more formal. Belts and jewellery finish any of these.
Fabrics that last the day
We choose fabrics for how they behave at 5pm. Suiting blends with a little stretch recover after a day at a desk. Ponte and crepe hold a line through a commute. Satin shirts tuck cleanly and layer under a blazer without bulk, and cotton tees and fine knits carry a business casual office.
