Spend the week with Creative Director Georgia Bramley as she styles five tailored looks for the office.

State of Play's new Tailored Collection.

As we face the inevitable end of the summer holidays and slip reluctantly back into our nine to five routines, it can be hard to know what to reach for in our wardrobes after a few weeks of wearing nothing but linen and swimwear. 

This week, FQ’s creative director Georgia Bramley gave us a behind the scenes look at her summer workwear wardrobe, styling key pieces from State of Play’s new Tailored Collection – available at selected Farmers stores and online.

A modern take on suiting for 2026, the edit is all about clean lines, subtle details and pieces designed to be mixed, matched and worn on repeat. Crafted in premium soft suiting that moves and breathes with you, it’s a confident wardrobe refresh. 

She sets the tone for the week by styling the Lloyd Sleeveless Blazer paired with the Flynn Tapered Pant for an effortless take on tailoring. Midweek, the Frankie Blazer is layered over a classic white t-shirt and the effortless Otto Wide Leg Pant, finished with statement earrings and black sneakers for the perfect high-low office look. To close out the week, the Foy High Neck Waistcoast and Dylan Longline Short offer a lighter, hot weather-friendly approach to suiting. Designed for real life, the Tailored Collection embodies an understated ease — pieces that feel considered, versatile, and made to move with you through the work day.
