What we wear to work, as a team of (mostly) working mothers
The way you dress often shapes how you move through the world. Some days, that means walking into a meeting with a quiet confidence. On others, it's opening your laptop at the kitchen table. For many of us at Légoe, work days are a blend of both.
Somewhere between school lunches, strategy meetings, content planning and creative reviews, getting dressed becomes less about the occasion and more about the intention.
This is exactly what inspired the 9-5 Collection. Designed for the meetings, the school drop-offs, the presentations, the negotiations, and the moments of focus in between, while still feeling like you.
"Getting dressed for work is my way of setting the tone for the day. Even though I work from home, choosing pieces that feel effortless and put together, shifts my mindset into feeling prepared and focused, so I can work my best”.
— Annie, Founder
Légoe was founded on the belief that women should never have to choose between feeling good, and feeling comfortable. That idea sits at the heart of the 9-5 Collection.
From the weight of the fabrics, to the way each piece layers together, everything has been considered for the reality of a working mother. A blazer that feels polished enough for a meeting, but still comfortable enough for school pick up. A knit that works just as well at your desk, as it does at the kitchen table.
“My approach to getting dressed for work is all about feeling comfortable but still elevated. When I make an effort with what I wear, it helps me switch on mentally and feel ready to tackle the day. My days rarely stop at the office though. I’m usually heading straight from work to school pick ups, then on to netball, dance, swimming or playdates. So, my outfits need to look polished while still being practical enough to keep up”.
— Hannah, Head of Collaborations
For many of us, the workday starts long before 9am. There are lunches to pack, emails to skim between school drop-offs, and a full morning lived before the laptop even opens. It's this routine that inspired the way we think about workwear.
Soft merino wool blend basics form the foundation of the collection, layered with crisp cotton poplin and tailored silhouettes you can rely on.
“My work day outfits have to take into account the life I live on either side of the 9-5, so school drop offs, a grocery shop and running after my 2 year old. But, I am also a big believer in looking good makes me feel good. I reach for a well made shirt over a long casual pant time and time again, which I love to accessorise with”.
— Amelia, Senior Marketing Manager
What connects each of our wardrobes is versatility. The same pieces are worn differently depending on the day.
“I work from home most of the time, but every so often the day takes me somewhere completely different. On set, out on a recce, or travelling for a shoot. What I reach for is always the same though, I’m an outfit repeater at heart. Think classic shapes, neutral tones, and pieces I can wear again and again”.
— Annie, Marketing & Social Media Coordinator
Because the women who wear Légoe are not just mothers. They are founders, leaders, creatives, and so much more. The 9-5 collection is for all of it. Not just the polished moments, but the full picture of what a working day actually looks like.
