Taking inspiration from the Noughties, ‘officecore’ is all about embracing traditional workwear in a modern way.
Big on TikTok, the nine-to-five trend focuses on relaxed tailoring and preppy pieces that look cool whether you work in an office or not. And with that ‘back to school’ feeling in the air, now is the perfect time to refresh your work wardrobe.
Here are four officecore ideas to shop this season…
Swap your usual black blazer for a two-piece co-ord in a soft shade like beige, biscuit, oatmeal or caramel.
Add gold hoop earrings and a tonal leather tote to complete your laidback luxe look.

Fanfare Ethically Made Beige Linen Suit Jacket, £189
Pleated wide-leg styles are the must-have of the season – perfect for pairing with crisp cotton shirts now, and rollneck tops as the weather turns cooler.
Choose from extra-long ‘puddle pants’ that reach the floor, or ankle-length hems to show off your footwear.
