About Us
Welcome to Midnight Oil
Welcome to Midnight Oil, an apparel brand of high fashion, high quality staples for professional women. Our collection is guided by principles of minimalism, monochromatic styling and a sophisticated simplicity that brings its wearer an attitude of je ne sais quoi, which we like to call Quiet Confidence.
It is our goal to help women feel like they could own the room in the clothes they’re wearing. We believe that the power of a blazer alone can encourage a woman to stand taller and project an air of confidence, knowing that she’s got this!
Our design aesthetic is inspired by the rich culture and architecture of worldly cities such as Paris, Porto, Milan and New York, as well as chic street fashion. We have an admiration for the women who project an innate sense of style, despite the fact that their small urban closets demand a minimal collection of timeless staples that transcend seasons and fads.
Now, No Longer Just "A Boys' Club"
We're shifting the paradigm started by the historic European fabric mills in calling their materials "menswear fabrics.” We understand that women wear suits, too. We provide women with the same advantage men have--a simplified wardrobe of stylish classics made with quality fabrics that last, as well as the same customization men enjoy!
We may have borrowed fabric, tailoring and personalization from men, but we have reimagined it for women with asymmetric angles, flattering lines and feminine cuts.
Midnight Oil believes that functionality for women is key, too. Our blazers have plenty of pockets so she can leave the handbag at home, and even sweatguards built in, for those who are working hard, burning the midnight oil.
Quality is Queen
At Midnight Oil we take great pride in working with such talented European & American artisans to create small, curated collections of quality womenswear, especially which offer a better fit, a fun shopping experience and a more sustainable practice. With a great respect for the Earth, animals and people, we believe in a commitment to responsible production and consumption, and to always manufacture with integrity.
Most of our collection is made to order; therefore, our orders are taken before production begins as part of our eco-conscious initiative to avoid over-production and to minimize waste. Garments are made one at a time with time-honored craftsmanship, ensuring that your order is made with excellent quality and attention to detail.
Made to Order Womenswear
With our made to order business model, women have the opportunity to select a desired length for their garments, and a choice of buttons, lining and threads to express their personal style. We want to help women plan ahead and build their wardrobes, so that when important meetings arise, the armour is ready.
