Women's work clothes

This is the whole Forcast range in one place: every top, pant, skirt, dress, sweater and jacket we make. Forcast has been dressing women for work since 1992, designing locally in Australia with an eye on what is happening overseas. The range runs from corporate suiting to casual separates and occasion pieces, for women who want one label to cover the whole week.

What you will find

Each part of the range is deep enough to shop on its own, so it helps to know where to start.

  • Tops: satin blouses, shirts and blouses, knit tops and tees.
  • Pants: dress pants, wide leg, high waisted and adjustable-waist styles in work pants.
  • Skirts: pencil, A-line and flared maxi shapes.
  • Dresses: work, midi, knit and event styles.
  • Sweaters and knits: cardigans, crew necks and fine knits.
  • Blazers: suit jackets and cropped styles in jackets and blazers.

Building a capsule work wardrobe

Start with two pairs of dress pants, one in black and one in navy, then add a suit jacket that matches one of them. Add three tops that work with both pairs: a satin blouse, a fine knit such as the Tania Crew Neck Knit and a collared shirt like the Milan Button Up Blouse. A midi skirt and a knit dress round it out, and from there everything you add already has something to go with.

Fabric and fit

Suiting is cut in blends with a little stretch, so pants recover after a day at a desk. Tops come in satin, cotton, linen and crepe, knits in cotton and wool blends, and the casual end of the range uses jersey, denim and linen. Shapes run from close-fitting to relaxed, so read the cut as much as the size when you are choosing.

How to shop it

If you are dressing for a specific setting, start from workwear for the office or occasionwear for events, then come back here to fill the gaps. Shorter frames can begin with the petite range. Sizes on these pages are Australian, and the local equivalent is shown beside each size on the product page.

Standard shipping to the United States is USD 14.99 and free on orders over USD 150, with delivery in 3 to 9 business days. Duties, import taxes and tax are added at checkout rather than on delivery.
