When it comes to nine-to-five staples, working girls looking to hit refresh on their wardrobes this fall should turn to Lundström Collection. Strip away all of the unnecessary extras (bejeweled headbands, grosgrain ribbon belts, elbow-length gloves and a bounty of blinged things) and you’ll find office-appropriate pieces that will look sharp in the boardroom and beyond: boucle frocks, wool swing coats, nubby tweed jackets, jacquard skirt suits and twill riding trousers. As much as we adore Anzie jewellery (they provided the runway sparkle) we would have preferred to see these lovely baubles take the spotlight in a separate presentation. Ditto for the haute headbands. Whether you’re coveting the corner office or have your nameplate on the door, effortless chic triumphs over styled any day of the week.
