Hobbs: The Workwear Edit

Issue 101

Home of timeless British style, Hobbs is the perfect place to begin to curate a classic, contemporary workwear wardrobe. And when better than Spring to start building your forever wardrobe with our seasonspanning staples?

Versatility is the keyword – we need our clothes to work harder than ever before to provide multi-tasking garments that offer quality, sustainability, value for money and multiple styling options.

Classic Suiting

Begin with trans-seasonal core pieces such as our machine-washable, mix-andmatch ranges including classic jackets, shift dresses, pencil skirts and tapered or wide-leg trousers, to build a versatile capsule wardrobe – Charley in black, with Mel, Mia, and Stevie designs in very wearable navy. Pair for work with simple clean lines such as our perennially bestselling Aimee jersey tops which work brilliantly with tailoring and come a range of neutral plains and punchy prints for a colour pop. For a luxe look add a soft blouse – the elegant lines of Caitlyn in ivory with covered buttons detail, Magnolia in this season’s gentle pink, or a feistier pop with Darcey’s bright geometric print. Hobbs has exclusive in-house designed prints such as our Joelle satin chain-print in cream and camel for elegant quiet luxury. You can never beat a crisp white cotton shirt so try classic Victoria or the sleeveless Vic shirt for fitted perfection.

The Complete Outfit

To complete your tailored workwear, look just add a classic Amelia court shoe or be more fashion forward with super-stylish Maddison slingback in nude. Mary-Jane styles are having a major fashion moment and work beautifully as either Miranda with a chunky block heel or Chrissy’s ballerinastyle flat. Hang a functional but elegant work bag such as the capacious Hurlingham tote over your arm, drape a season-perfect trench over your shoulders and you are office (and Instagram) ready!

Work-to-Weekend Versatility

Add a pop of colour to the working week with fashion-forward, co-ordinated brights as the perfect choice for Spring/Summer 2024. Suki in green, Felicity in pink or Nola in bramble purple will take you from deskto-dinner to a hot date or a wedding with just a change of shoes. To change up your workwear for a less formal work-to-weekend look, think footwear, it really does make all the difference. Swap a court shoe for a chunky Nadine loafer or a pristine white Coralie trainer.

Style with Mileage

Increasingly workwear is taking on softer options, shirtwaister dresses are your perfect choice for femininity without fuss. Our navy Tania shirtdress needs no more than a pair of shoes to be office-ready but will take you effortlessly straight to cocktails after work. Take Tallulah in classic ivory and blue polka dots. Add a navy jacket for a workday, add white trainers for a shopping day or lunch with the girls or dial her up with Alice T-bar midnight satin heels and a fascinator for a wedding or the Races. She’s machinewashable so go for it!

As we move into warmer weather, tailoring is taking a relaxed, tonal linen focus in soft colours, pink, blue, grey and ivory, fresh for the new season Mirabel, Adina, Roberta, and Lauren co-ords are tailored to perfection to take you to work, weddings or weekends away with just a simple ivory Nina top a perfect Alycia white tee.

Whatever your work wardrobe needs, whether formal or more relaxed, Hobbs has carefully curated a collection of style signatures, including petite sizing’s, that are detail-oriented, polished, with multifunctional utility. Timeless, transitional, contemporary and chic, these are pieces you will love forever.
