As we all settle back into the routine of working life after the festive break, there’s one thing that can make the whole process a lot more bearable: stylish workwear. Beat the back to work blues and reboot your work wardrobe with a little inspiration from the most chic celebrities.
Amal Clooney
She may live a glamorous lifestyle as the wife of a famous movie star but as a lawyer and activist, Amal Clooney works hard and knows the power of a sharp professional wardrobe. While we’re most used to seeing her in sunny climes, she doesn’t shy away from the British winter, tackling the season in sleek grey wool trousers, an of-the-moment turtle neck and a statement coat. The tailored shapes keep the tone professional while the berry-toned coat and the lace up shoe-boots inject her personal style.

Cate Blanchett
Actress Cate Blanchett kept her modern ensemble tonal, opting for the ever stylish combination of black and grey. The stand out piece is, of course, her beautiful draped lapel jacket. The interesting silhouette uplifts her simple black tapered trousers and complements the hue of her structured leather bag. This is the perfect, cosy commute outfit.

Angelina Jolie
Her role as a humanitarian and an ambassador means Angelina Jolie knows exactly how to put together a chic, smart look that means business. Here, she pairs a fuss-free, graceful black dress with buckle detail ankle boots, infusing her distinctive edgy aesthetic in a subtle, stylish way. A tailored, long line coat would look fabulous layered over this outfit in the colder months.

Victoria Beckham
A tailored coat or a pair of boots is ideal for the commute but how about staying warm yet sharp once you get to the office? Champion of sophisticated style with a twist, Victoria Beckham shows us how with her simple but seriously fashion-forward jumper and shirt combination. By opting for such a pared back silhouette and accenting the white collar with her shoes, she looks elegant, modern and co-ordinated.
