Off Duty Update: Playing it Cool from 9 to 5

Whether you follow a workwear dress code or not, there aren’t any set rules for channelling your innate style. Infusing a considerable dose of exclusivity in your style statement can speak volumes about your fashion-forward sensibilities. Experimenting with ready to wear clothes featuring vivid colours, patterns that stand out, and silhouettes that are playful yet practical is the way to refine your day-to-day appearance. 

Wish to walk to the boardroom like a showstopper? As we step into a new season, here’s how you can make your mark with a refreshing take and join your company’s boss babe club.

To ace your 9 to 5 and after plans, invest in statement-making throw-on-and-head-out pieces that can up the ante on any mundane day. You might have spent endless rotations in shift dresses, so it’s forgiving to walk in donning a flouncy ready to wear dress into the office. Besides, a linen midi dress is the perfect bet to keep it comfortable yet sophisticated. 

If you’re bound to a formal dress code, here’s tangible proof that it couldn’t always be boring. Trade your pencil skirts and button-downs for new-age ready to wear shirts and pleated elements to make your look dressier. You can also put a daring spin to the day with a crop top on casual Fridays.

Admit it, we’ll always have a sweet spot for pantsuits in our officewear wardrobe. The superhit silhouette makes a sure-fire style statement at first glance. If you’re game to spark some office envy, layering can never go wrong. Pair your look with a sharp, ready to wear blazer to take your look up a notch! It’s always easier to shed off a piece to slay at an after-hours affair.  

Stun them as they’ve never seen you before. Slip into lounge-like comfort to work in easy-going jumpsuits. Further, you can also direct to well-tailored ready to wear co-ords to prove your alliance with style. Urban nonchalance or street-style chic, find your comfort and make it a win-win!
