Where we have already seen it
Shirt and trousers have been the heart of the office uniform for decades. At first symbol of 80s power dressing, then progressively reworked in a more relaxed key, today they inaugurate 2026 with a perfect mix of rigor and personality. The reference to the men’s wardrobe remains, but it comes refined by details and styling which make the whole thing anything but predictable.
Tod’s Autumn-Winter 2025 2026.
Among the many inspirations spotted on the Autumn-Winter 2025 2026 catwalks, from Tod’s the shirt, with an almost architectural construction, moves in earthy tones, while the trousers are straight and rigorous, with a central crease, in a tailored grey. To break the chromatic balance come the accessories: a belt ocher, the mini pouch orange applied and the bag structured in leather. It is precisely these color contrasts that make a classic combination current, transforming the uniform into a conscious style choice.
How to dress for returning to the office
To return to the office with good style intentions, it is best to start from a simple but effective strategy: fewer pieces, better chosen. Shirt and trousers remain the basis, but they really work when the fit is impeccable and the colors interact with each other.
Tod’s look idea.
A trousers well cut, straight or slightly loose, it solves half an outfit. Above, clean shirts and tops work best if they play on neutral but not dull colors: butter, warm grey, brown clear, blue dust. Second rule: use accessories to change pace. A visible belt, a structured bag or a shoe with character immediately make even the simplest combination more interesting.
Finally, pay attention to lengths: rolled sleeves, slightly longer hemlines, balanced volumes. Small measures that help you return to the office in order, but without rigidity.
