Business clothing essentials for stylish women

If there’s one bespoke item worth spending your money on, we believe it’s a custom made trouser suit. That’s because we can create a jacket and pair of pants that are precisely and beautifully crafted to fit you perfectly and meet your exact style requirements.

With our range of ladies tailored trouser suits, you also have a huge number of personalization options available to you.

For example, with a typical custom made ladies jacket, you can choose from hundreds of world-class fabrics and linings, the color of the thread, the style of the edge stitching, lapels, pockets, buttons, cuffs, and vents.

While with the pants, there are choices to be made regarding the height of the waist, the type of waistband, pockets, zip fastening, and much more.

This means at the end of our production process you will receive a truly unique trouser suit that ensures you look and feel your absolute best every time you wear it.

In addition, a great bespoke trouser suit also gives you options outside the office. The jacket could be worn as a separate with a pair of jeans for a more casual look, and the pants could be matched with either a blouse or even a T-shirt.

The skirt suit may have fallen out of favor over the past decade, but just now it is having something of a renaissance, in and out of the office.

This may be down to the increasing prominence of women in business and public life, or simply because the skirt suit is a type of formalwear that allows women to be feminine and elegant at the same time.

Certainly, if you choose to have a bespoke skirt suit made by our master tailors, you’ll get to enjoy an exquisitely crafted two-piece garment that looks a million dollars.

In addition, you’ll get to choose from hundreds of the world’s finest cloths, the style, cut and length of your jacket and skirt, as well as many important details such as the style of your buttons, cuffs and lapels.

One of our high-quality blazers for women is not hard to spot. In comparison to an off-the-peg blazer, it really does look far superior, and when you try it on, it feels fantastic against your body.

In particular, a big difference is the way an HKT blazer creates a more flattering silhouette, because it has been constructed to fit your unique shape and posture.

You’ll also notice how much extra movement one of our blazers gives you in comparison to an inferior product. Again, that’s because every panel of the garment has been created to work with your body.

What’s also really great about a custom made ladies blazer is that you can easily dress it up to look smart in or out of the office. Or alternatively, it’s really easy to match the blazer with a top and a pair of jeans to rock a confident, casual style in a business meeting.

Overall, we’re pretty sure that out of all the office essentials listed in this blog, your tailor made blazer will be the item you wear more than any other piece of clothing.

Okay, so the bulk of your declutter is already done. Now you just need to do a bit of fine tuning with a second edit. This is all about looking for duplication in the items you’ve saved.

For example, you might have three white work shirts that are of a differing quality. Yes, you might still wear your oldest shirt every other week, but do you actually need it, especially if you’ve already got two superior white shirts?

During this process, you’re probably not going to lose too much, but it’s still definitely worth doing. Getting your closet as lean as possible is your ultimate aim, and keeping things minimal will also help with the next step, as it will make it clearer what basic items you need to add to your closet.

Okay, this isn’t the most exciting office essential in the world. But the reality is you’re far more likely to spend most of your working life in a pair of work pants than a killer pencil skirt or amazing business dress.

Also, because of the popularity of your pants, there’s a far greater chance that they’ll need replacing before a jacket starts to look well worn.

If you do decide to invest in some perfectly fitting work trousers, don’t assume that they need to complement your suit jackets. Instead, you could go for something that ups the variation stakes in your wardrobe.

To do this, have a look at what you’ve already got in terms of blouses, shirts and tops, and then consider which fabrics could combine with them to deliver a fabulous look.

Or even better still, why not book an appointment with one of our style consultants and bring in some photos of your blouses, shirts and tops?

With you, we’ll then look through hundreds of exquisite fabrics to identify the perfect material for your stunning made to measure ladies trousers.

When it comes to designing and crafting a custom made business dress for you, we’ll take plenty of time to get to know you, your style and what your working life is like.

We’ll then discuss what look may work for you best and show you a wide range of world-leading fabrics and colors, including solid neutrals that can be worn again and again, and eye-catching patterns that will leave a lasting impression.

As always, we’ll then take a series of measurements from around your body to guarantee your tailored business dress fits your unique shape perfectly.

The casual work dress is the more relaxed, younger sister of the business meeting dress. It’s still very much appropriate for the office environment, but it tends to be created from a lighter fabric and focuses more on comfort than sophistication.

This makes the casual work dress particularly suitable for the summer months and those Fridays where you want to easily transition from daytime to happy hour.

If you do decide to ask HKT to make a casual work dress for you, the great thing is that you get to choose the perfect color, ideal style and exact length of dress you want. This may be very appealing to you if you often struggle to find exactly what you’re looking for on the high street.

It’s highly likely you’ve already got a good range of blouses and shirts for the office. But how about having a few made to measure blouses or shirts created for you that will take your look to the next level?

This could be exactly what you need if you’ve recently been promoted, are looking for a new job and need to impress in interviews, or you simply want to add some wow factor to your wardrobe.

With our tailored shirts for women, we guarantee exceptional quality and a fit that complements you from all angles. As well as being able to choose from fabrics produced by world-leading brands such as Loro Piana, Canclini, Thomas Mason and Albini, you’ll also have the opportunity to specify the length of your shirt and sleeves, and details such as the design of your shirt’s collar, pockets, cuffs, buttons, and plackets.

Alternatively, if you’d prefer HKT to create a stunning blouse for you, then please book an appointment with one of our style consultants. They can discuss with you the perfect fit and style for your height and shape, and recommend fabrics that will deliver the exact look you want.

Our tailored pencil skirts for women create an extremely flattering silhouette without being restrictive. As well as having the opportunity to choose the ideal cloth and length for your skirt, you can also specify if you have a split and where it goes, the style and placement of pockets, whether you have a zipper or buttons, and much, much more.

This bespoke garment is becoming increasingly popular with our female clients because a custom made pencil skirt feels incredible to wear and immediately makes any top look more sophisticated. Team it up with a simple white or black fitted top, or a pussy bow blouse, and you’re sure to impress in and out of the office.

So, there you go, our eight office essentials for stylish women. We hope you’ve found this blog super helpful and now feel confident about creating lots of great office looks for the coming year.

We also hope you’ll get in touch with HKT to discuss your individual need, because going bespoke doesn’t have to be expensive. We’re positive we can create at least a few of the above items for you without going over your budget.
