How to make it work for work: A ribbed knit

The sporty throw-on-and-go sweater equals an easy win for your workwear wardrobe. Even Mondays will feel simpler

Stay on form

Playing with proportions to create interesting silhouettes is an office-appropriate way to keep your look modern. Fendi’s form-fitting, ribbed sweaters look great paired with voluminous culottes or ’70s-inspired high-waisted pants. Finish with modern mules and sculptural jewels for a desk-to-dinner winner.

Follow the dress code

This season’s sleeker sweater dresses are boardroom material. Sartorial purists will love The Row’s understated options; bolder dressers will meet their match in Calvin Klein’s cut-out designs and Stine Goya’s colorful creations. Wear with color-pop accessories, minimal makeup and slicked-back hair.

Find the right tone

When it comes to workwear, streamlining is your sartorial safety net. Whether you go monochrome and experiment with textures by contrasting a ribbed sweater with a silk skirt or opt for coordinating knits – Proenza Schouler’s millennial pink twinset is top of our wish list – sticking to one color palette ensures the final look stays polished. The bonus? It’ll buy you more time in bed.
