For women, formal business dress usually means a suit or a tailored dress. Hems sit at or just below the knee. Shoulders are covered and necklines are modest. Colours tend to be dark or neutral.
Law, finance, government and senior leadership roles often expect this level. So do board meetings, tribunals and formal dinners with clients.
We keep this collection tight and focused. The Seed Fitzrovia 3/4 sleeve pencil dress is a classic boardroom shape. The Seed Shirley adds a three-quarter sleeve with a clean neckline. The Seed Aspley has a pencil skirt and a sleeve for full coverage.
Colours include navy, black, steel blue, imperial purple and salsa red. A dark shade reads as serious. A rich colour like purple still looks formal and helps you stand out.
Need sleeves for cold offices? See our long sleeve work dresses. For client lunches and interviews, our business dresses are slightly softer. Everything else lives in our work dresses for women.
A trouser suit means matching two or three pieces. A tailored dress does the same job in one. It is quicker to put on and easier to pack for travel.
A sleeved dress with a jacket reads just as formal as a full suit. Many women also find it more comfortable through a long day. Our pattern-cutting heritage since 1985 shows in the fit at the shoulder and waist.
