Work Dresses

Work dresses: one decision, whole outfit

A work dress is the fastest way to be dressed for the office. Forcast work dresses are cut in fitted, panelled, pencil, shirt-dress and drop-waist silhouettes, from tailored minis to midis, in sizes 4 to 18, in fabrics chosen to hold their shape from the morning commute to after-work drinks.

Find the right style

A fitted or panelled dress in ponte, like the Sutton Ponte Dress or the Juno Panel Ponte Dress, is the classic corporate option and needs nothing but shoes. A pencil midi such as the Mila Pencil Midi Dress suits most offices and most heights; our midi dresses collect that length across work and weekend. Shirt dresses like the Goulbury Shirt Dress are the answer for a business casual office, and a linen dress keeps the same line through summer. A tailored mini works with tights and a blazer in a relaxed office. For the most formal dress codes, see classic corporate.

Fabrics that survive a full day

Ponte holds a structured line and recovers after sitting. Tailored dresses in suiting blends with a little stretch do the same with a sharper finish. Linen breathes when the office is warm, and a shirt dress in a crisp fabric holds its collar and cuffs through the day.

Layering for the office

A work blazer over a sleeveless or short sleeve dress makes it a suit for meetings; a longline vest does the same for a relaxed office. In winter, add a fine knit under a sleeveless dress, or a coat from our outerwear range that finishes below the hem. A belt defines the waist on a straighter cut.

Shop by colour

Black is the working uniform, and our black dresses collect every cut we make in it. Navy dresses are the softer alternative for corporate offices, and prints carry a business casual code into summer.
