Work Wear
If you’re running late every day because of work wear troubles then this post is for you! We're not just talking about your staple trousers and shirts, we mean working this season's key trends into your office outfits. Getting dressed in the morning is about to become so much easier...
The classic look is probably the most common and easiest to wear to work. One should always have these simple classics in the work wear wardrobe. They’re the perfect dress code for occasions when you’re not sure what to wear. But beware, if not styled with a statement piece, this look might make you look boring. So always style it with a statement neckpiece, bag or shoes or even better, go in for embellishments on the cuffs, shoulders or collars.
The casual chic look or the answer to the common question – can I wear jeans to work look! This look is acceptable in most offices if done the right way. Pair up your well fitted jeans with a feminine blouse, think silky and structured like the one below and always add heels to ace this look.
Feminine is an easy look to pull off if you’re the woman who loves flowing flirty dresses, tiny jewelry and looking casual smart all the time. Floral print tops with a knee length skirt or a floral printed A-line dress with the right heels are ideal for taking you from the desk to a cocktail bar.
If your office is not too strict on absolute formal wear, you should try and test the waters this fall. Since digital prints are making the rounds this season, pick up a structured dress with these prints and pair them up with your favorite boots, brogues or oxfords! If you’re into the retro look, flaunt a well fitted polka dot dress. Style it with an elegant puff and a long straight pony tail. Wear and listen to the compliments rolling in by lunch time.
And finally, while in this part of the world, it may be hot outside, but if you’re in an office which is as cold as Antarctica, wrap yourself up in well fitted blazers or jackets. They won’t just get your body temperature in place, but can take your outfit to the next level. The classic colors – black and white are essentials in the closet. Invest in a good dreamy piece and we guarantee you that it will be worth every single penny.
With these looks, you’re sure to give your weekday wardrobe a needed boost. And while keeping up your style credentials on a daily basis isn't always easy, try making subtle adjustments to your usual wear. Always incorporate a pop of color to liven up the dull and monotonous work wear. Re-work the classics by adding textures and statement pieces to make sure your outfit works as hard as you do.
So ladies, what is it that you’re wearing to work tomorrow?
