WORKING the work clothes

Dressing the Corporate way NOW has a different meaning to it. Your work clothes dont have to say BORING, they can now show your personality and still be within the "dress code regulations. Let me state this up front, i do not think a dress code could or would increase productivity. However, since it does exist, why not look cute while obeying the CODE.

Your clothes say everything about you and they also help you put your best foot forward. So here are some of the designs i see are India corporate appropriate.

This above look is for the casual fridays in heavily airconditioned offices.....Love the print on print concept.

I love this dress. Regardless of the body type i think the color, style and fabric will look good. And since its hot and humid in Mumbai we can do without the stockings. And for those with an active life you can exchange the close toe pumps with open toed ballerina shoes.
Classic look!!!

This is my favorite. The Kurta top with its tye dye effect is amazing and the little sequence collar. Love the trousers too as it has a lil sheen to it. This would be a gr8 transition outfit form day to night. All you need to do is change the makeup.
This one reminds me of the concept of color blocking. ill put up more to show you how color blocking can be used in office wear.




Similar pattern 2 piece is a very stylised way to dress. You have to be careful that the designs are not too similar where they end up looking like PJs, or 2 different where it looks like youre wearing pieces from diff ensembles.

I love this dress, looks very Mad Men-ish also with the cute pumps and great cut a perfect outfit for the workplace. And if your office has a dress code against sleeveless you can always team this up with a shrug or cotton lycra jacket however based on your body type the lenght of the jacket shud be adjusted. Also if this dress is made in dull colors that might wash you out , you might give a very preacher's wife vibe...

The Nude pumps are probably the best fashion investment u can make. Dont have one? GO out NOW and buy it. I saw a gorgeous pair at TresMode on miking rd bandra near mcdonalds....expensive as hell but felt like a dream wearing any of their shoes.

Im soon going to do Indian Office Wear.....Looking forward to sharing it with u lovelies....
