Designing a Cohesive Wardrobe: From the Boardroom and Beyond

3 minutes read

At Alexandra Wood, we don’t just create individual pieces—we design entire wardrobes that work seamlessly together. Whether you’re dressing for the boardroom, a casual weekend, or a formal event, every piece we design is tailored to fit your lifestyle, reflect your personality, and enhance your confidence.

Our approach ensures that your wardrobe is cohesive, versatile, and effortlessly stylish, covering every occasion with a range of meticulously crafted items. Here’s a closer look at the pieces we design and how they come together to form the ultimate wardrobe.

 

The Foundation: Essential Boardroom Pieces

For high-performing professionals, a polished boardroom look is non-negotiable. We design tailored pieces that exude confidence, authority, and style.

Key boardroom pieces:

  • Tailored Suits: Crafted from the finest wools, these are your power pieces for presentations, meetings, and events.
  • Formal Shirts: Choose from bamboo or fine cotton shirts that are breathable, sharp, and perfectly fitted.
  • Tailored Trousers: Slim or straight-leg trousers that pair seamlessly with blazers or work as standalone pieces.
  • Blazers: Single- or double-breasted options in classic and contemporary styles, designed to be versatile staples.
  • Overcoats: Luxurious outerwear in cashmere or wool blends, tailored to fit over suits without bulk.
 
 

The Transition: Business Casual and Smart Casual

Smart casual is where we balance professionalism with comfort, creating pieces that are ideal for less formal workdays or after-office events.

Key business casual pieces:

  • Unstructured Blazers: Relaxed yet tailored, perfect for layering over knitwear or a shirt.
  • Chinos: Tailored chinos in neutral tones that work equally well with blazers or polos.
  • Merino Wool Polos: Fine-knit polos that elevate casual looks with a luxurious touch.
  • Lightweight Jackets: A utility jacket or bomber crafted in premium fabrics like suede or Ventile.
  • Dark Denim: Slim-fit, high-quality jeans that are stylish without being too casual.
 
 

The Relaxation: Casual and Weekend Wear

Your wardrobe shouldn’t stop at work. We design luxury casual pieces that keep you looking polished even during your downtime.

Key casual pieces:

  • Quarter-Zip Knitwear: A versatile layer for cooler days, crafted in cashmere or merino wool.
  • Casual Shirts: Linen or cotton shirts that pair effortlessly with chinos or dark denim.
  • Relaxed Trousers: Drawstring trousers in tailored cuts, blending comfort with style.
  • Casual Jackets: Lightweight, practical options like Ventile raincoats or utility jackets.
  • Luxury T-Shirts: High-quality cotton or bamboo tees that look sharp enough to stand alone or layer under a blazer.
 
 

The Finale: Evening and Event Wear

For formal events or special occasions, we design standout pieces that make an impression.

Key evening pieces:

  • Tuxedos: Classic or modern cuts in luxurious fabrics, with bespoke details like satin lapels and unique linings.
  • Dress Shirts: Crisp, tailored shirts with options for subtle texture or pleats, perfect for black-tie events.
  • Velvet Jackets: A touch of drama for evening events, crafted in rich, jewel-toned velvets.
  • Formal Overcoats: Sleek overcoats are designed to complement formalwear without detracting from the outfit beneath.

 

The Extras: Accessories and Add-Ons

While we don’t focus on accessories like ties or pocket squares, we ensure every piece is designed to work seamlessly with your existing accessories or any future additions. Our bespoke details like monogramming, unique buttons, and custom linings add personality to every piece.

 

Why Cohesion Matters

By covering every aspect of your wardrobe—from the boardroom to casual weekends and formal events—we ensure every piece works together to create a unified, versatile collection. A cohesive wardrobe eliminates the stress of dressing, giving you effortless options for any occasion.

How We Achieve Cohesion:

  1. Consistent Color Palettes: We design around a core set of colours that complement your complexion and ensure versatility.
  2. Versatile Fabrics: From crease-free linen blends to luxurious cashmere, we select materials that balance practicality with style.
  3. Attention to Detail: Subtle design elements, like coordinating linings or complementary stitching, tie your wardrobe together.
  4. Seasonal Updates: For clients using our concierge service, we integrate new pieces that seamlessly fit into your existing collection.
