The biggest mistake many of us make when shopping for workwear is not taking our own personal style into consideration. Even if your workplace enforces a strict professional dress code, it's still possible to let a little of your personality shine through in your outfits.
To help you find your groove and keep your boss happy, we've rounded up the workwear brands offering stylish takes on both tailored and casual pieces. You can also check out the latest fashion deals on offer to see if you can pick up your new purchases for less.
Contemporary label SABA offers simple, elegant designs that are flattering no matter your age. The pieces have a distinct Parisian vibe and make use of an understated colour palette, ensuring that they'll never go out of style.
SABA's price range is quite extensive, though most pieces sit between $150 and $350.
From good-quality basics to current trend pieces, David Lawrence offers an easy shopping experience for those after work-appropriate wear. If you're looking for some inspiration, the site also has a lookbook that mixes and matches seasonal pieces to help you discover new looks.
Similar to SABA, David Lawrence has a wide price range, but you'll find most apparel pieces for around $150-$300.
Since the 80s, Australian label Cue has been a go-to wardrobe staple for working women. The brand is known for its modern, flattering silhouettes and on-trend pieces, which include a huge range of dresses, skirts, peplum tops and blouses as well as tailored pants and jackets.
All of Cue's pieces are high-quality with prices averaging around $200-$300.
UK label French Connection offers no-fuss workwear at affordable pricing. The brand stocks a range of basics in stylish hues and patterns and plays around with looser fit silhouettes. The result is ready-to-wear pieces that are both comfortable and flattering.
French Connection's pricing usually ranges from $29.95-$150, meaning there are plenty of budget-friendly pieces available.
Country Road is another Aussie label that creates a range of workwear to suit different age groups. From slim-fit knit tops and pencil skirts to looser dress and shirt silhouettes, there are styles to suit every preference here. The site even has a "Wear to Work" section to help you easily shop its most work-appropriate pieces.
While Country Road does stock some designer pieces that retail for over $500, there are also plenty of affordable options on offer starting at around $30.
Australian label Witchery is known for its high-quality fashion and feminine silhouettes. The brand offers modern, flattering styles in both neutral and seasonal hues that will easily take you from desk to dinner.
Witchery's pieces typically range in price from $100-$200.
Forever New is a popular Australian brand for a reason. Offering quality pieces in flattering, feminine designs, the label will have you stepping through the office door with confidence. From cut pants to stylish blouses, there are a number of versatile pieces that are appropriate for both work and weekend wear.
While prices range up to $300, only coats and cocktail dresses carry a price tag that high. You'll find other pieces, including workwear, sitting firmly in the $25-$150 bracket.

Designer New York-based label Theory is a leader in urban sophistication. The brand offers a range of classic silhouettes influenced by current trends, which means that the pieces stay in style season after season.
As Theory is an upmarket label, you can expect to pay a designer price for its pieces with most pieces averaging $300-$700.
Australian fashion designer Anna Huong's line focuses on refined tailoring, perfect fits and flattering silhouettes. The entire ANNA QUAN line is workwear appropriate, with a range of blazers, pants, midi skirts and shirts on offer. In fact, it was the label's "Anne" shirt that gave the brand its cult-status, so if you're after a new work shirt, look here first.
As ANNA QUAN is a designer label, you can expect to pay between $350 and $550 for most items.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements.

When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity.
