It might be spring on the catwalks right now, but we’re still more concerned about what to wear to work in September. This back-to-school month usually means a brand-new uniform and, this autumn, it’s not just the under-16s who can get involved. We've found four - based on what street-stylers have been wearing out and about - and are planning to wear them on rotation all autumn. The point is to keep each outfit pared-back, so you can throw it on and head out the door in two shakes. The best news? You might not even need to go shopping.
The sharp suit
Whether you're wearing a trouser suit. or a matching blazer and pleated skirt, why not park the button-down shirt? The street-stylers are favoring white tees. A wee heel will keep the look saying 'whip-smart'.

The leather all-in-one
There's been a lot of love for leather over the past week. Our favourite iteration for the office, naturally, is wearing the stuff head-to-toe. Nanushka's all-in-one does the hard work for you, but Eva Chen's sleeveless belted jacket over matching trousers is also a 10/10 in our book.

The printed dress
A list of fashion uniforms wouldn't be complete without Anna Wintour's printed floral dress with sensible sleeves. Add a block-heeled sandal now and a knee-high boot when the temperature drops.
