These are the women’s workwear brands I really rate

Although many offices and workplaces have a relatively relaxed dress code nowadays, as a fashion editor, I find that I am frequently asked about the best women’s workwear brands. From barristers to bankers, plenty of women still get suited and booted for their jobs, and we all know how good it feels to be in smart tailoring. It seems increasingly difficult to find work-appropriate pieces on the high street, right?

Only if you don’t know where to look. Below are my recommendations for where to buy women’s workwear, from trouser suits to sleek pencil dresses and sophisticated shirts. I’ve got shoes and bags covered, too. There are names you no doubt know, like Next and Hobbs, plus a few you might not be familiar with, such as The Fold and With Nothing Underneath.
