Because the best clothes shouldn't spend most of their life waiting in your wardrobe.
There used to be very clear rules about clothes.
The blazer was for work. The sheer top was for Saturday night. The beautiful dress needed an occasion. And anything slightly sensual was carefully saved for somewhere after dark.
Luckily, we're not particularly interested in those rules anymore.
Neither is Undress Code.
The Warsaw-based label has just arrived at BIGGLES, and what immediately drew us in was not simply the clothes themselves, but the attitude behind them. Sensual, confident and feminine, but designed for an actual life.
The kind where you might have a meeting at ten, lunch at one and drinks at seven and don't necessarily want to become three different women in between.
“Why save your favourite clothes for a life that only happens after 8 PM?”
IT STARTED WITH IZA & KACPER
Undress Code was founded in 2016 by Iza and her husband Kacper, with an idea that still feels refreshingly relevant ten years later: design for women who have ambitions, take chances and aren't afraid to live a little.
Not for a fantasy version of her.
For her actual life.
That's why the collections move so easily between different moments. A fitted body underneath an oversized blazer. A feminine top with relaxed trousers. Something sheer worn with denim. A dress that works for dinner but doesn't feel completely misplaced at lunch the next day.
There's sensuality, certainly.
But there's also ease.
And it's precisely that contrast that makes Undress Code interesting.
SEXY GOT A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING
Perhaps our definition of sexy has changed.
It doesn't necessarily mean showing more. Sometimes it's an unexpected neckline. A glimpse of skin underneath tailoring. A sheer fabric balanced by something masculine. Or simply a silhouette that makes you stand differently the moment you put it on.
Undress Code understands that subtlety.
Rather than creating clothes that demand attention, the pieces leave room for the woman wearing them. They are designed to complement personal style rather than dictate it.
And isn't that ultimately what good fashion should do?
“The outfit can make an entrance. But the woman should always be more interesting.”
WEAR THE GOOD STUFF ON A TUESDAY
This might be our favourite part.
Undress Code doesn't believe you need a special occasion to wear something special.
Neither do we.
Wear the bodysuit under tailoring to work. Put the beautiful top with old denim. Throw an oversized jacket over something fitted. Take the piece you thought was too much for daytime and deliberately combine it with the most effortless thing in your wardrobe.
The styling doesn't need to be perfect.
In fact, we'd rather it wasn't.
That tension between dressed-up and undone is what makes an outfit feel modern.
“Personal style gets interesting when you stop asking where you're supposed to wear something.”
FROM WARSAW, WITH THOUGHT
Behind that effortless appearance is a much more considered way of making clothes.
Every Undress Code design begins in the brand's Warsaw studio, and the vast majority of production takes place locally in Poland through trusted factories. The brand consciously works with shorter supply chains and uses responsibly produced fabrics, including natural, organic and recycled materials where possible.
There is also a deliberate resistance to overproduction.
Because a beautiful piece shouldn't be designed to survive one Instagram post or one season. It should earn its place in your wardrobe and stay there.
Even the packaging follows that philosophy, using recycled paper boxes rather than plastic.
It's sustainability without making sustainability the aesthetic.
The clothes come first.
THE UNDRESS CODE WAY
At BIGGLES, we've been talking a lot about building a better wardrobe.
Buy less. Find the right trouser. Invest in the blazer. Choose denim you'll actually wear. Build a foundation that makes getting dressed easier.
But a capsule wardrobe needs personality too.
And perhaps that's exactly where Undress Code comes in.
It's the unexpected layer underneath the blazer. The feminine piece next to your wide-leg trousers. The little bit of skin between all those beautifully sensible wardrobe investments.
Because a great wardrobe shouldn't just be practical.
It should occasionally make you feel like going somewhere, even when you had absolutely no plans.
“Confidence might just be the best thing you can put on.”
