The twice-yearly catwalk shows in the world's major fashion cities may offer plenty of clothes to fantasise about, but with our hectic work-to-weekend schedules, we're really in the market for classics with a twist that can put in plenty of overtime.
So it's a good thing Gok Wan's new capsule collection of pieces for Sainsbury's, Gok for TU, offers a variety of multitasking wardrobe staples that can easily be dressed up or down and worn for every occasion.
From boardroom to brunch, commute to cocktail hour, these tops, dresses and trousers not only integrate well with your existing wardrobe (and retail for a recession-friendly £20-£45) but also offer figure-fixing solutions to ensure your body looks its best, from office to after-hours.
Check out our gallery below of five work-to-weekend autumn style fixes, courtesy of Gok for TU:
- Kimono<p> The cover-up just got a lot more interesting thanks to Gok for TU’s Asian-inspired floral print Kimono (£30), which provides the perfect splash of print for all of your black and neutral workwear basics. It’s also a figure-flattering weekend night out option that provides great coverage over flirty dresses or paired with a vest top, trousers and heels. </p> <p> </p>

- Flirty Dress<p> This Flirty Dress (£40) mixes a basic black top with a colourful cherry blossom and floral print pleated skirt, which can be dressed up or down for office or evening. Wear with a cardigan or cropped jacket by day; add a leather jacket and heels for dinner and dancing the night away.</p> <p> </p>

- Sheer Shirt<p> Add subtle sex appeal to a masculine tailored look with this Sheer Shirt (£25) - just team with a vest top or printed slip to ensure it’s office-appropriate. Try out autumn’s sophisticated fetish-inspired silhouettes and wear with a fitted pencil skirt for cocktail hour.</p> <p> </p>

- Perfect Fit Pant<p> The Perfect Fit Pant (£25) is a body-shaping jean trouser that will look elegant in the workplace when paired with one of the season's key pieces, the printed silk blouse. Keep it casual at the weekend with a basic tee, or add a sparkly top and heels for an easy party look. </p> <p> </p>

- Oversized Shirt<p> This Oversized Shirt (£25) can be worn as a dress with heels for a chic and simple office option (just cinch in your waist with a belt). Take it to brunch on the weekend by wearing over fitted jeans or leggings with your comfiest pair of ballet flats or knee-high boots.</p> <p> </p>
