The Corporate Look

This shoot was one of a kind. Here we had to showcase something we wear to work everyday. With all the Instagram Monday hatred memes going around, we have tried our best to show that even at office, you can play with fashion and take style to work.

1. The Chic Dress Look

If you aren’t afraid to flaunt yourself, this look is made for you. Women who love Knee length maxis and pencil skirts, just need to keep these little things in mind.

• Never go shorter with a few inches above the knee
• Big NO to dresses with low plunging necklines
• Avoid long slits to maneuver in a pencil skirt

Since the black outfit looked already so glam, we decided to pair it with ballerinas. High stiletto heels and strappy sandals might have looked more attractive, but from work place perspective, we decided to go for closed-toe shoes.

In the second post however, we did not mind wearing short heels. The combination of the printed shirt and the pencil skirt made the attire look corporate. Classic pumps are always an option.

2. The High Waist

If you’ve got slightly more penchant for fashion, you must try this out. This is the latest in thing. One can also experiment with classy footwear here like cute wedges. We decided to go monochrome.

• Try not baring too much skin in any blouse
• Avoid spaghetti straps
• Wear sleeveless but ensure the cuts are not too deep

When it comes to jewelry, opt for tiny and subtle pieces than sparkly bling one’s. Looking professional is important.

3. The sophisticated office wear

We simply love the tie front shirt! Believe me, anyone can pull off this trend. Pairing it with jeggings was the best idea. On the other hand, how could we forget a good blazer – A staple in every girl’s wardrobe.

• Do not go for very bright neon colored blazers
• Go for a well-fitted structured blazer
• Avoid cardigans as they give a very casual vibe

Do not hesitate to experiment. At times, a single statement piece is required to complete the look. On warmer days, one can style the look using scarfs. On colder days, try out opaque leggings.

However, it also depends a lot on your work place and culture. In not so strict environments, one can wear shirt and jeans, go loud on the lipstick color, wear nail art or carry fancy shoes.

Sandals – Tres Mode

One thing I find very difficult to find is a good office bag. At least I love the XXL size one’s, in which I can carry almost everything. The thing is that they get common pretty fast, but personally I really appreciate the collection available at “Accessorize”.

Also coming to hair, I think simple braids, ponies and buns work the best.

On an ending note, remember to always be yourself; Keep it simple, yet stylish. Love you’ll.
