TRENDY WORK WEAR: CURATE YOUR LOOKS ONLINE

The new-age office-goers seem to place great importance on stylish workwear. Gone are the days when a crisp ironed shirt paired with fitted trousers or a pencil skirt, made the cut for acceptable workplace attire. Nowadays, keeping up with international trends and maintaining comfort as priority, while choosing an outfit for office is simply the norm.

Here are a few trendy styles that you can incorporate into your workwear wardrobe that won’t appall your GEN-X bosses!

1. MONOCHROME MOODS

The only colour combination that can be described with more than a 100 adjectives is Black & White. And be sure to know that each adjective is capable of reflecting a unique style statement. Chic, sophisticated, bold, flashy, jazzed, glittery – you name it!

If your current wardrobe is all about re-inventing monochrome for office, then look no further. Forget the boring cliché of a black pant and white shirt paired with a black blazer; however classy it seems, it’s been done to death. Try rocking the window pane print in a sheath dress for semi-formal workwear appeal.

2. ‘OFF-DUTY’ AT OFFICE

Bad days may call for comfort food but chilly winters demand comfort clothing. Low temperatures automatically make us feel lazy, especially at work! Make your life easier by adapting loose silhouettes and easy knits that are in trend and look chic.

Now, this doesn’t mean that one can freely embrace the sleepwear styles that have been recently spotted on runways…Why? – Because you still are going to office… even though in your mind’s eye you may be snuggled up on the couch in a warm blanket with a good book.

A pair of palazzos and a comfy knit sweater feels ‘like you are chilling in your comfy pyjamas’ yet looks ‘sophisticated and chic for work’.

3. WORK HARD. PARTY HARDER.

If you truly realise the meaning of ‘Work Hard, Party Harder’, then fashion is the least of your worries. It’s so easy to transform your ‘all day at work’ stylish outfits into ‘glam doll’ party attires!

For example, a suede skirt paired with a simple white formal shirt is a chic office look, but by replacing a few things and adding some – you re-incarnate! Unbutton that white shirt and wear a stylish strappy black crop top underneath. Glam it up with boots and accessories!
