From the boardroom to the sidewalk, this season’s most polished trend doesn’t clock out at 5pm. Corpcore is the sartorial love child of classic officewear and streetwear, offering a rebellious twist on pieces that are typically reserved for cubicle-life. Think structured silhouettes softened with slouchy proportions, pinstripes paired with sneakers, and tailored staples worn with intentional nonchalance. From Greenwich Village to Karangahape Road, those in the know are borrowing from the language of corporate uniforms and rewriting the rules through a fashion lens. Whether you’re slipping on a loafer with a silk tie to head out for coffee or layering a sharp vest over relaxed trousers for a night out, corpcore is proof that professionalism and personality can co-exist. Read on for our edit of 10 pieces that make the case for dressing like you mean business (even if you’re nowhere near a desk).
