This post is specially dedicated to all the working ladies out there. Now Monday to Friday you drag your feet to work. Are you faced with the same vexation when you have to choose what to wear to work everyday?
I guess we all do have a separate section on clothing for work but the everyday confusion pertains. You might have enough clothes for work but it is all about how to bring in variety with your existing clothes.
See how you can create new styles with your existing wardrobe.
Kurtas have become the official Indian formal wear. The key idea with kurtas is to mix and match. Forget wearing the same pyjama and the same kurta set every time. Mix the kurta with the pyjama of another kurta. This may look a bit contrasting in the beginning but you can tone it down a bit by alternating bright colours with light colours. Like if you have a bright yellow coloured kurta then try wearing a light coloured peach or light green to tone down the colour. A floral printed or dual coloured scarf will promise an entirely different look.
Yes, shirts/blouses and formal trousers are for sure the best. It creates a smart look and suits well when you have a meeting or a presentation, oozing out professionalism. Try out different types of blouses and match them with stunning accessories. Complete your look with a well-fitted blazer or cardigan.
Take sophistication to another level with a corporate dress-code. Make your 9-6 look timeless. Tailor-made for the diligent working ladies, look polished on and off duty with sleek pantsuits. Pantsuits can be feminine, modish and effortlessly cool.
When it comes to dresses, an LBD for work is a favourite amongst all women. Pick your fit-and-flare LBD for an understated, elegant and professional look. Add on glorious accompaniments in the form of a statement necklace, belt and pointed heels, for a subdued, yet sexy statement. Keep the rest of the ensemble to a minimalist level to keep the focus on one accessory. Bowl over your colleagues by coupling your LBD with a classic blazer, for a professional look.
Maxi skirts are a visual treat for the eyes. For many seasons the maxi has been a trend and it still continues to be. This can be worn on an easy and breezy work day!
Lastly, try something new and wear a plain white shirt with a scarf or a high necked monotone sweater.
So whether your office is casual and creative or buttoned-up and sophisticated, these work-appropriate looks will work perfectly! Now just think about only work when you get up on a weekday and not what to wear!
