Comfy, easy-to-style, and statement-worthy, co-ord sets are having a moment and the latest brand to cash in on the trend is Dennison, with their latest collection of women’s Autumn Winter workwear co-ord sets and formal shirts and dresses. As easy to style as a dress but, arguably, with greater impact, the advantage of a co-ord (apart from getting dressed in a few seconds), is that you can wear the separates as a set, or pair them with other wardrobe staples already hanging in your closet.
Sonalika Bansal, co-founder at Dennison, tells us that the cutting-edge designs are inspired by the latest runway trends, ensuring wearers stand out in style, She also gives us some tips on how to upgrade workwear.
“While our previous collections have always been trendsetting, this collection takes it a step further by exploring unconventional pairings of colours, textures, and patterns,” says Sonalika.
The latest workwear collection features tailored blazers, wide-leg trousers, structured dresses, and shirts. The cuts and silhouettes are thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse tastes and body types of professional women, ensuring that each piece in the workwear collection is both stylish and functional for the modern workplace.
“The collection is inspired by the idea that clothing can be a powerful tool for self-expression and empowerment. It aims to provide professional women with attire that not only meets the demands of their work but also make them feel confident, capable, and ready to take on any challenge,”
elaborates Sonalika.
On the work wear trends this season, she tells us that the lines between office attire and casual wear are increasingly blurring. “Pieces like blazers, tailored trousers, and shirts are being styled in more versatile ways, making them suitable for both professional settings and social occasions. Moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and stretchy materials are becoming popular for their comfort and ease of care, especially for those with active roles or long commutes. Traditional workwear colours like black, grey, and navy are giving way to brighter hues and bold prints. These can add a touch of individuality and creativity to professional attire,” she adds.
