Work Dresses

Parlour X has the finest selection of designer work dresses to make an impression in a professional environment. While women often prefer a modern suit, or a smart casual jacket and pants, a classic dress will always be in fashion. The key is to select an appropriate style and length, and Australia’s home of luxury fashion has made your job easier. There are certain dresses you may shun such as a mini dress, but pencil dresses and knee length hemlines paired with some pumps will always be a safe choice. A black work midi dress is popular, while most block colours will be preferred to prints in a corporate environment.

Parlour X has a range of contemporary and luxury dresses that balance style and sophistication. A Jil Sander dress is a minimalist favourite while a Bottega Veneta dress is ideal for the boardroom. For a more affordable dress choice, the Australian designer Sparrows Weave will look great in a non-formal office setting.

If you choose a print, play it safe with a stylish geometric print, an elegant check or a houndstooth design. Floral and colourful prints may only suit an informal work environment. For a range of fashion-forward work dresses, the preferred brands are Junya Watanabe, PH5, Colville and Jacquemus. The block colours of new brand Brogger are popular with professional women.

Designer work dresses to show up in style

Always take account of the temperature at work. In corporate offices, the air conditioning may necessitate a long sleeve dress and a blazer, such as a black Saint Laurent blazer. Alternatively, working in a warmer space might direct you towards a sleeveless dress from Bottega Veneta or Valentino.
