Every season, our wardrobe changes based on the trends, colours and environment we live in. But no matter how you choose to experiment with your wardrobe, your work closet is one place where having some essentials stored away will never be a cause for concern.
These timeless pieces will serve you well, come rain or shine. They are credited to making the concept of a capsule wardrobe so enduring—outfits you can mix and match to make day-to-day dressing infinitely easier. Even before your first cup of coffee in the morning, you can pick out your outfit for the day without fear of any fashion faux pas!
White shirts, versatile shoes and tailored trousers are the obvious place to start, but we’ve got a few surprises for you. Scroll ahead to check out our list of essentials you desperately need to add to your workwear closet.
White Shirt
Man or woman, white shirts are synonymous with work. They instantly make you look smart and professional, making them one of our favourites. A structured, clean white shirt is a great basic that never gets old.
Black Pants
If you’re wearing a white shirt, then black pants are a no-brainer. You can wear it for a client meeting or add it to build a more polished boss lady look, it’ll never let you down. Experiment with different types like ankle-length trousers, flares or pleats to find one that works for you.
Formal Skirts
Pencil, a-line or maxi, you can never have too many versions of office-ready skirts. They are a great wardrobe basic which pairs perfectly with white skirts, blouses or even sweaters if the weather requires. Tuck the top into the skirt for extra points.
Tailored Blazers
Nothing screams girl boss like a crisp blazer. If you’re a working woman, then having a blazer for layering in your work wardrobe is a must. With the addition of this tailored piece, you can elevate even your most simplest of outfits into a work meeting look.
Work Dresses
Easy to wear and even easier to style, dresses make a great choice for the office. Instead of flowy designs, choose more structured ones that will complement your blazer. Choose neutral tones or bolder ones, depending on what your work day looks like.
Saree
Don’t be surprised if we tell you that the six-yard-drape makes a great work outfit. There’s nothing like a sari to make you feel empowered and confident. Carry the drape in style with just minimal accessories and you’ll definitely win the award for the most stylish employee of the month.
