For this autumn's big office wear reset, we recommend a few simple formulas to ease the daily dressing dilemma. Sharp shoulders and cuts, elevated accessories, perfectly fitted denim trousers, and crisp shirts. So whether your office is the local laptop-friendly café or a sleek inner-city corporate environment, scroll on for Vogue Scandianvia's hand-picked shopping edit that will have you feeling empowered and motivated for this season's big return to work.
Business meeting
This autumn, a schedule full of meetings calls for a statement outfit. Dare to incorporate unexpected materials or details such as sequins or add a few centimetres with a subway-friendly heel.
Sharp as a knife
The confidence to power through the challenges of a work day? It starts with a sharp-as-a-knife ensemble. Confidence-enducing dressing looks different for everyone, but we can assure that well-cut silhouettes and black are great place to start.
Casual yet composed
In 2025, it's safe to say the stereotypical 'office wear' is evolving. Those who are not bound to four corporate walls or strict dress codes can still look just as composed with a linnen suit vest, matching trousers and leather woven flats.
Monday morning meeting
This autumn, we're campaigning for Mondays to be the new Fridays: a day to ease back in from the weekend, to clamber back to the top of your inbox before firing on all cylinders from Tuesday. The 'fit for the Monday job? We're calling it: a comfortable but stylish look.

Skirts, but supercharged
Picture this: you're about to enter an important meeting to present a big proposal or pitch. You want to pack a punch with your look, while still maintaining a sense of femininity. Our tip? An ankle-length skirt, teamed with nice top and comfortable heels.
Denim but make it office
Denim should never be neglected as 'too casual' for work as long as you make sure to style it properly. Wear denim trousers that are clean, has a straight fit and without holes. Mix the denim with a tailored jacket and sophisticated accessories and you should be good to go.
Friday feeling
A Friday after-work should never have to come between your outfit and your willingness to attend. Opt for sharp lines and luxurious materials, such as silk, wool or suede and your outfit should be just as suitable for the office as for the bar around the corner.
