IS THE 9-5 AESTHETIC FOR YOU?

Before you roll your eyes at us and close the tab, hear us out. Over the past few seasons, the 9-5 aesthetic has slooooowly been creeping into people's wardrobes. Think A$AP Rocky in a tie or Jacob Elordi in a super-smart overcoat. Now, thanks to Prada (and the rest of Milan Fashion Week) it's definitely back in fashion in a BIG way. If you’re gonna do it, you’ve gotta commit – grey tones, head full of office gossip and all. Here's how to get the look 👇

We’re bringing boardroom back... yeah? Ofc, the 🗝️ to this look is making sure the basics are 10/10. That means a clean Breton striped shirt and tailored trousers. P.S. perfectly ironed darts down the front are pay-rise worthy 💸

Your pockets are *big* but your layers shouldn’t be. This trend is about getting the tailoring on-point, so opt for a slimmer-fit jumper/coat combo. But don’t forget a power shoulder 💪

Say bye to trainers and hello to loafers for this look. Rumour has it, every time you hear that heel hit linoleum office floors it means a deal’s been done. An enormous/waterproof bag is also a MUST – it makes you look v important 📞

If this trend is just your tie-pe, you best get searching for tie tutorials 👔 ASOS tip: you wanna pick something colourful to break up the neutrals but nothing too wild, OK? And for belts? Stick to classics.
