Winter work dressing isn’t exactly the easiest. Once you’ve rotated every jacket, jumper and pair of pants in your wardrobe it doesn’t leave much left.

Boots, brogues, loafers and enclosed flats are musts for winter. Invest heavily in good quality leathers and opt for sturdy soles for longevity. Below, we’ve rounded up 11 pairs we’re swearing by for the office this season.
