Corporate offices and different workplaces are getting back up from the work-from-home setup. The 9 to 5 routine has already set in for many people around the country so is the work-life. The days are back where a day starts with getting dressed for work to deciding an outfit for the following day. For a few, it might be an exciting time to go back to the 9 to 5 routine and, for a few, it may not. So, we thought that we should compile some of our tips to keep your workwear game strong regardless of the mood!

Workwear is a tricky category. But, when styled correctly, it could amp up your personality. It can be a game-changer at work!
These days communication skills are being talked about a lot and, we think that fashion and styling can also fall under the category of communication. We can express so much through fashion/clothes. So, it could be a good idea to step up your workwear wardrobe. It may sound daunting at first but, we are here to help you with some of our tips to take out all the ambiguity around workwear wardrobe. All these points will help you look good and feel good too!

1. Uniformity creates an impact!

In a professional work environment, it is obvious to have patterns and order while working in a professional workspace. On a similar note, while developing/choosing a workwear wardrobe, you can bring uniformity. Uniformity will enable an order. Consider uniformity in colour, style, accessories, or others.
Maintaining or sticking to a similar style or having a particular pattern of accessorising can create individuality.

For instance, choose neutral colours for top-wear and darker/ cool-toned colours for bottom wear. All these can help create a polished personality/image at work. Choose similar kinds of accessories instead of layering and mixing it all up. Simplicity in such things can bring out a professional look.

2. Pay attention to the details

Details matter the most. Workwear can be fun if we choose unique styles/ details within a neutral outfit. Choose different collars styles sleeve styles to amp up your basic-minimal workwear wardrobe. Choose knitwear garments; lookout for new materials instead of your usual choices. Unique cuff styles will bring a personality that is unique to you. It can add a pop of fun element to the boring-usual corporate look.

3. Choose/ find a star garment

What do we mean by star garment? A good question to ask! A star garment is a piece in your wardrobe that you fall back on, the backup plan on the days when you have less time to choose. It could be the one classic garment that will help you on the days when you want to look just right with minimal effort. It could be a blazer, a dress or a jumpsuit.
The star garment can create a sharp look. It will also break the monotony of the week.

4. Quirk it up

According to respective workplace rules, you can quirk things up. Workwear can be fun when you add some prints or different accessories. An accessory or printed details can step up one’s outfit in a positive way. Feel free to experiment with accessories like handbags/wallets shoes to add more fun to your workwear wardrobe.

5. Pick up themes/order for the week!

We must have found ourselves asking this one question- What should I wear tomorrow? on most days. This same damn question can be annoying/boring every day.
Taking out/separating a few top wear or outfits for the week can help. Sticking to a theme or an order can help. For instance, pick an order for the week- a week of Indian workwear or three days of western workwear followed by Indian workwear. All these can help manage and create order in our day-to-day routine.
When we are in a hurry, we are less likely to make decisions so, a better choice would be to make a few decisions before the week this will lead to a hassle-free week for sure!

Are you wearing clothes or an outfit?

Is wearing clothing different from wearing an outfit? Yes! There is a difference between wearing clothes and wearing an outfit. Wearing clothes refer to mindlessly wearing garments. On the other hand, wearing an outfit can refer to mindfully combining garments and different elements to enhance the look. We can surely choose days when we want to throw on clothes and the days we want to wear an outfit. So here we have compiled some tips to differentiate and help you amp up your style.

1. Fit of garments

Post lockdown, many of us have had weight fluctuations which led to size variation. And, now our clothes don’t fit anymore. So, this leads to our first tip- You shouldn’t fit in clothes, clothes should fit you. Figure out which pieces are now ill-fitted. Get those altered. Most garments can be altered or can be upcycled. By altering existing garments you can retain your style. If it is beyond alteration find new pieces. Fit is the most important aspect of any garment. Ill-fitted pieces can make you look awkward, bulky or skinny if you don’t get it fixed. There are several tricks as well which can make you look taller, fuller etc. which takes us to the second tip:

2. Proportions

Check proportions of tops and bottoms. Balance those two correctly. If you are wearing a body-hugging top pair it up with a regular to loose bottom and vice versa. Even lengths of garments matter! Depending on the way you want to portray yourself you can switch up lengths of garments. Shorter tops and longer bottoms can create an illusion of longer legs. Anyone on the shorter side can opt for such option. On the other hand, it is sometimes tricky to style oversized garments. Such style can hide your personality. But there is a way for that too! Balance oversized garments with a body hugging garment. Highlight one of them so you can make a statement!

3. Colour

Adding a pop colour is fun! So much can be done with colours. Colour combination could make or break any outfit. 

a) If you like bright colours, balance them with neutral colours. Let couple of colour highlight in your outfit. Do not mix several colours and let down their charm!

b) If you prefer neutrals opt for one bright colour to add that spark in your outfit. This can create an emphasis!

c) A monochromatic outfit is always a no brainer! Such style comes handy when you are initially building up your style and likings. Observe your preference and think about the colours you generally wear and go for. You can change your outfit game with just a good play if colours.

4. Recognise own style

Oftentimes, when we are exposed to numerous styling ideas we can get confused. One can find limitless inspiration for styling and fashion tips but which style suits you and is affordable to you matters the most! Find some pieces that emphasizes your character, your aura. Trends can be confusing. Instead, stick to your personality and liking. We hope that we could highlight the key points to amp up your style and hope that you consider some of our suggestions. Styling tips are limitless and so are you!
