Work Casual Outfit Ideas: Printed Shirts That Mean Business

Office dressing doesn't have to mean plain. The right printed shirt adds personality to workwear while staying completely professional. Here are five formulas we rely on, built around our work casuals edit.

1. Refined print + tailored trousers

Start with a shirt in a subtle, sophisticated print — fine botanicals, muted stripes or line sketches — and pair with straight-leg trousers in a colour pulled from the print. Our SketchScape line prints were practically made for this.

2. The monochrome base

A striped or monochrome printed shirt over black or navy bottoms is the easiest smart-casual look there is. Crisp, considered, quietly confident.

3. Shirt dress + loafers

A printed shirt dress is a complete work outfit in one piece. Add loafers and a structured bag, and you're done.

4. Soft prints for client days

For meetings, choose elegant prints in gentle palettes — our Hera collection was designed exactly for this register: polished, graceful, memorable for the right reasons.

5. Friday prints

Save the bold ones — abstracts, colour blocks, statement florals — for casual Fridays. Tucked into dark denim, even the loudest print looks intentional.

Why fabric matters at work

Long days demand breathable fabric. Our shirts are 100% breathable organic cotton or natural crepe, with prints that survive the wash cycle of a working wardrobe — anti-bleed, anti-peel, anti-shrink. Browse all printed shirts to build your rotation.
