The office blazer, rewritten: inside the FW26 collection
Checks, velvet, sequins and gold embroidery on tailoring patterns. What sits behind Clock in. Stand out. and how to wear each piece from Monday to Friday.
Why should going back to the office mean going back to dressing dull? FW26 starts from that question. The answer is not to invent new garments, but to take the usual ones (the blazer, the high-waisted trousers, the straight skirt, the coat) and change their surface.
Clock in. Stand out. is the name of the collection and also its rule: keep office hours without giving up being seen. The patterns come from tailoring, with structured shoulders, a defined waist and gold buttons. What changes sits on top: embroidery, velvet, piping and sequins.
Classic tailoring, with the details the office doesn't expect
Every FW26 blazer keeps the function of a workwear piece. It closes well, holds its shape through the day and works as well with trousers as with a skirt. The change lies in the materials that meet in a single piece: wool next to velvet, structure against satin, matte with shine.
A blazer can change completely without losing its function. Functional never meant neutral.
Women's check blazers: Miranda, Amazona and Coco
Check is the most recognisable fabric in the office, which is why it is the starting point. The three check blazers in the collection share a fitted pattern and a structured shoulder. Each one breaks the check with a different material.
Miranda: wool check with sequins
A wool blend with enough body to hold its shape. Sequin embroidery in warm tones runs along the hem and cuffs and brings light to a tailored surface. It comes in two versions: with a clean lapel or with a Racoon fur collar, which adds volume at the top and frames the face.
Amazona: British check with velvet
A woolly, British-inspired check with wine-coloured velvet contrasts. The velvet adds a second texture and the gold buttons give order to the front. With denim, the blazer becomes the main piece.
Coco: brown check and croc-effect faux leather
Check in brown tones with lapel, collar and pockets in chocolate embossed faux leather. Inside, the lining has a paisley print and the UDOIT logo embroidered in gold.
Embroidered blazers: the detail is the dress code
The second line of the collection works on black and brown and lets the embroidery lead. These blazers are cut in stretch Roma knit, a fabric that holds the tailored structure and moves with you all day.
Afrodita blazer. The goddess's profile, embroidered in gold cord, covers the back and runs down the sleeve.
Afrodita, the goddess on the back
The profile of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty, is embroidered in gold cord and thread. The face covers the back and the lines of her hair cross the shoulder and fall down the sleeve. It comes in black and brown, and pairs with the Afrodita trousers, high-waisted with a straight leg, which repeat the motif with an eye embroidered in gold thread.
Milagritos and Ivy
The Milagritos blazer carries hearts embroidered in coloured threads. They draw on Mexican milagritos, small charms linked to protection and granted wishes. Ivy takes its name from the plant, drawn in baby blue and red on black across the lapels, sleeve and back. With the Hera belt in black leather, the waist is more defined.
Women's suits: sets that also work apart
Almost every FW26 blazer has matching pieces in the same fabric. Together they make a complete suit; apart, they multiply what you get out of the same garments.
- Miranda: blazer, waistcoat and straight skirt with a front slit, all three with sequins at the hem.
- Amazona: blazer, straight miniskirt and long flared skirt with a defined waist.
- Coco: blazer, high-waisted straight trousers and a croc-effect faux leather midi skirt.
- Afrodita: blazer and high-waisted straight trousers, in black and brown.
The Miranda waistcoat works on its own, over a silk shirt. The Coco midi skirt, with a simple shirt, carries the outfit by itself.
Colour with intent
The base is black, ivory, browns and classic checks. On top of it come pinks, turquoises, burgundies and golds to direct the eye. The point is not to fill the garment with colour, but to give it identity with wine velvet on the lapel or gold thread on the sleeve.

How to wear a blazer to the office without it looking like a uniform
What goes with a check blazer?
Plain pieces that leave the check in the lead: a white shirt, black trousers or, with the miniskirt in the same fabric, knee-high boots. If the check has velvet or sequins, keep the rest of the outfit matte.
Can you wear an embroidered blazer every day?
Yes. Over denim or black straight trousers, the embroidery is the only detail and the outfit tones down. In an all-black outfit, the gold thread reads up close.
What size should you choose in a fitted blazer?
FW26 patterns define the waist and structure the shoulder, so choose your size by chest and back. The model is 179 cm tall and wears an XS. Before ordering, check the size guide.
Because life already has enough serious things. Your wardrobe doesn't have to be one of them.
The FW26 collection is now in store, with the blazers, the sets and the Hera and Ares belts to define the waist.
