Comfortable, summery and appropriate for working from anywhere? Fatface has our back to the office style problems solved. 

Finally, summer has arrived, which means working from home in the heat, before heading out for a picnic with friends to get some much-needed socialising in the sun. Well, that’s the working theory. Alternatively, it’s peering out at the rain from the window of an office for the first time since before all this began. Working from anywhere in the summer can be a little tiresome and hot, but fear not because we’ve found inspiration from the breeziest - and unlikeliest - of places. Known for their cool and casual surfer aesthetic, FatFace may not be the first place you’d think of for a working wardrobe. But with comfort and ease now at the forefront of our priorities, Fatface’s own distinctive brand of everyday staples is all the more appealing. 

The quandary of what to wear to work has never been more real, especially after a year of loungewear and joggers, which is why we need to make a slow and steady nudge toward smarts with pieces that are as flexible as our location. Whether it's throwing on an easy jumpsuit or a printed dress that we’re already wearing on repeat, the common ground between each and every Fatface piece is that they're all prioritising a sense of ease that makes sense for our new lifestyle. But looking polished and put-together is still a must, elevating simple silhouettes with mood-boosting colour and Zoom-standout prints aplenty.

But it’s not just their effortless style that’s caught our attention. FatFace designs and makes some of the most durable and versatile pieces on the high street at the moment - not to mention some of the most sustainable. 100% of the cotton for their cotton products is now responsibly sourced, and by 2025, they expect their polyester and viscose to follow suit. Good news then for anyone who has vouched to move towards a slower style of life. 

So whether you’re working from home, in your actual office at long last, or are taking it alfresco (who hasn’t put their laptop in a shoebox to beat the glare?), scroll on to see the pieces will instill a work ethic without a power suit in sight.
