What is the most scarce resource in a working woman’s life? ….Time of course. And if you are in this category I want to make everything possible to make your life easier, not harder.
Let me guess here, as a working woman you probably want to keep your wardrobe utterly classic and chic, with the minimal effort right? Well, that is why I have put together for you a quick update on trends you can incorporate in your professional wardrobe straight away, saving you time and energy searching the Internet.
1. MAXI
This Autumn 2022 season hemlines definitely dropped right to the floor, as seen in Yves Saint Laurent ready to wear collection, featuring impressive floor-sweeping lengths this season. The straight wide leg will definitely give you the comfort of movement throughout your busy day at work and WFH included!. Just pair it with a blouse or sweater for a sleek autumn look. It’s that easy!

Similar floor-sweeping creations were also spotted in Peter Do, Kwaidan Editions and Tod collections.
These maxi skirt lengths look equally great when paired with a blazer, long jacket, white shirt, T-shirt, casual sweater or cardigan, making it super wearable for daytime.

2. MINI
To counteract the long hemlines designers also featured above-the-knee hemlines in tailored pieces, such as mini skirts as seen at Versace, Fendi and Jil Sander. To keep your workwear look cool and professional it is best to pair them with blazers for a polished office look.

3. CAMEL TONES
As I always say, classics never goes out of style and strong presence of classic warm caramel tones on all major runways this Autumn 2022 season is proof. From tailored jackets, bodycon dresses and bodysuits to mixed-media trenches, you can not go wrong with classic camel tones in your wardrobe.

4. OVERSIZED SHOULDERS
We see a suiting trend each season and this Autumn 2022 suits continued to show oversized blazers with widened shoulder lines as seen at LV, Prada, Gucci and Sportmax. Although it might look like something your dad might wear to the office, this relaxed and oversized trend look extremely comfortable yet daring.

5. SLOPPING SLEEVE
A slopping sleeve trend also stays strong this Autumn 2022 season and looks particularly cozy in outer wear as seen in Rick Owens and Dries Van Noten collections.

6. EXTREME COLOUR
Valentino impressed with a very strong colour statement in hot pink, which is traced throughout the whole collection. Impressively enough, this intense, magenta colour was named as “Pink PP,” and introduced as a new Pantone colour created by Pierpaolo Piccioli (creative director of Valentino ) himself. This ‘monotone’ colour palette was specifically selected to remove distractions and concentrate the viewers’ eyes on distinguishing the differences between silhouette and detail. Definitely for a brave professional woman!

7. EVERYDAY BASICS
When it comes to the everyday, there were some basics showing a less-is-more mentality featuring tailored and fitted suits, skirts, slip dresses, and an overwhelming number of white easy button-down shirts, sophisticated t-shirts and tank tops styled with black trousers or medium-wash jeans.

8. LEATHER-ON-LEATHER
Full supple leather-on-leather look was particularly strong this season, featuring new colour palette with pink and purple notes as seen on Prada and Bottega Veneta runways. A new Power look indeed for a strong professional woman!

Obviously these are not the only trends that have emerged this season but I tried to select the ones that are more reasonable and wearable for a professional woman.
