5 coordinating two-piece outfits for the office

1. Monochromatic  Yes, you can wear colours other than black and grey to the office. Try a tailored suit in your favourite fall hue and break up the colour with a neutral top. Ankle grazer cigarette trouser, $63, Slim jacket, $94, Asos.

2. Windowpane This print is a simplified version of our beloved plaid and tartans. Pairing it with minimal accessories in classic gold adds some warmth to this black and white palette. Two piece grid set, $194, Shoptiques.

3.Wide-leg trousers Lucky for us, comfort is in this season. Say goodbye to tight, unforgiving silhouettes and choose a looser fit in a rich, wool material for added warmth this winter. Wide-leg trousers, $70, tomboy coat, $90, Zara.

4. Print-on-print Don't be afraid of layering two pieces in the same pattern. Chances are most people will think it's a dress until you pair the blouse with jeans on casual Friday! '70s floral shirt and midi skirt, $71, Topshop.

5. Cropped We prefer to crop our pants rather than our tops — especially at the office! Keep it sophisticated with a longline blazer, like this sleeveless option. You can easily add a black turtleneck to create a more covered up look. Double-breasted gilet, $170, high-waisted trousers, $70, Mango.

Of course no outfit is complete without the perfect bag! Scroll through our favourite office totes below.
