The Workwear Edit
Our Founder Rachel's Top Five Hardworking Hero Knits for work (and play).
Whether you're corporate or creative - office-bound or WFH, we know that getting dressed in the mornings for work matters.
We understand how much you want your knits to work for you - this is about being comfortable and put-together. It's about feeling right and at ease throughout the day.
When I first started researching and building Navygrey, I was working at a leading social mobility and education technology brand - with days a mix of working with students and then heading into boardrooms with corporate executives. And it's during this time that I was able to put some of our Navygrey styles to the test.
We get so many questions about the best knits for a working wardrobe - and following Vogue's recent inclusion of us as one of the stylish, modern workwear brands that editors lean on - I've selected our top five knit picks that will perform for you.

Slimmer, sleeker and endlessly wearable - this is our refined take on the timeless crew and is an excellent working companion.
Knitted in Scotland using seamless circular technology for a cleaner finish and a more elegant fit - there are no shoulder seams or bulky joins, it sits beautifully against the body - soft with just the right amount of stretch.
Easy to tuck in. Effortless left out - which makes it so versatile to style. It's knitted in a perfect mid-weight. Light yet warm. Finished with slim rib trims at the hem and cuffs - for polish, not fuss. Add skirts or trousers and this will work for you, every time.
Our original cardigan and perennial bestseller is the one I, and so many of you - reach for again and again. I particularly love it worn alone and tucked into wide leg trousers.
The top button is positioned to ensure that any cleavage stays under wraps. It gives the ease of a V in cardigan form, so it's like you're getting a 2in1 knit.
It's also great layered over a shirt as shown here on model and photographer Imke.
Made in the British Isles - it's a design and fit that remains unchanged over five years - and always sells out. Now that's a timeless knit and we promise this will become a much-loved favourite - for work and play.
First introduced in 2025, the EASY TEE has fast become a stand-out favourite in the Navygrey line up.
This knit is the one to reach for when you want drape and movement but don't want anything too heavy.
The boxier shape means it works with so many different bottoms, and the signature thicker neck keeps it elevated.
Knitted in a compact 5gg means it keeps it shape, skims rather than clings and ensures you feel put together. Great with a skirt, great with a good trouser - it's elegance and warmth altogether.
A sweatshirt? Yes, that's right. Our Vintage-Fit silhouette was created to hit that sweet spot between the ease of a sweatshirt with the finesse of a good knit.
Now in both a warming brushed cotton and the lived-in loopback that's a little softer and finer, this is perfect tucked into wide leg trousers - I particularly love a checked trouser with either Navy or Ice Grey.
This is casual polish done right.
All of our WEEKEND group is knitted in a lighter in weight 12gg - meaning that each style has easy slouch, with drape and movement - making it a true versatile go-to all year round.
To wear on its own or as a luxurious, natural underpinning layer - the WEEKEND collection covers all your workwear needs in a hard-working, forever palette.
What's more the superfine Merino is breathable and low maintenance - no washing required between wears. Result.
Choose our much-loved WEEKEND POLO in a new subtle stripe, or keep it classic with our original WEEKEND or WEEKEND RELAXED. It's also in cardigan form too.
