We are having a high street renaissance this season, with so many of our old favourite haunts serving up stellar pieces. One trend that will be impossible to ignore for autumn/winter is the return to the Seventies, especially when it comes to our workwear.

Over the summer we have been used to relaxing our workwear wardrobe through a series of dresses, slip skirts and casual t-shirts; but now a new wave of serious dressing is upon us. The kind of seriousness that naturally comes with an autumn/ winter season where we see richer colours and more sumptuous fabrics.

This is thanks largely in part to a return to a grown-up wave that hit the catwalks at Celine, Etro, Burberry, Givenchy and Victoria Beckham. All of which served up an array of grown-up garms and a micro-trend we couldn’t help but notice: pussybow blouses with heritage check blazers.

These high-street blazers and blouses will elevate your workwear wardrobe
