There is something timeless about the Collegiate style. It is that quiet elegance of the back-to-school season that we want to wear every year, but which Devernois is reinterpreting in its own way: with character, French knitwear, and a palette of gray and black that answers to no one.

For the 2026 autumn season, the French family fashion house founded in 1927 offers a wardrobe designed for women who return to work with as much allure as they had when they left for the summer. Between noble materials, contemporary cuts, and a new signature detail, here is how to compose a back-to-work wardrobe that is both timeless and resolutely current.

The Collegiate style, an office elegance that never goes out of style

The Devernois back-to-work wardrobe is organized around a simple idea: classic codes, but never rigid. Wool wrap skirt, enveloping coat, white shirt, the office staples are revisited with an arty and modern touch for a chic Parisian spirit.

It is a wardrobe for those who love the rules and know how to shake them up. The back-to-work season as we imagine it when we prepare for it with care: pieces that combine, layer, and reinvent themselves from one day to the next.

The essential materials for the new season

At Devernois, the back-to-work season is built first and foremost on the material. Jacquards, made in France, provide structure to jackets and cardigans. Generous cashmere brings softness and lightness to everyday knits. Boiled wool provides structure without ever restricting movement.

Tweed, long associated with a stiff image, is presented here in contemporary cuts for a chic Parisian spirit. And to sign the season, chevron stripes and seventies-inspired geometric prints provide that detail that makes all the difference: an arty and modern touch that transforms a simple office outfit into a true point of view.

• Jacquard Made in France, on structured jackets and cardigans
• Cashmere Generous, in a sweater, cardigan, or stole
• Boiled wool Structures without restricting, on coats and skirts
• Tweed Reinvented in contemporary cuts, Parisian spirit

New in: fringe, the detail that changes everything

This is the novelty of this season: fringe. This detail transforms an office outfit into a true point of view. It adorns the wool wrap skirt, trims the seasonal jacket, and gives movement to the silhouette. An arty and modern gesture, in the Parisian style, that of women who shake up the codes.

On a gray coat or a wrap skirt, fringe adds that extra dash of allure that does not go unnoticed — without ever renouncing the sober elegance that is the Devernois signature.

The geometric print, the seventies touch that signs the season

With a seventies inspiration, the geometric print brings that arty detail that transforms everything. Placed on soft knitwear, slipped under a gray coat: it is a graphic pattern that awakens the season's palette without ever weighing it down. The modern touch that, on its own, defines the point of view of a silhouette.

One pattern, a thousand ways to wear it: it is the graphic detail that defines the back-to-work silhouette.
