Mornings are tough! Once you’ve hit the snooze button for the sixth time, you hardly have any time left to shower, eat and dress, let alone put together a work outfit that is polished and chic. Do you wish you could nail office dressing and look sophisticated, stylish and effortless? Don’t worry, it really is possible! We give you a few important tips on dressing stylish to work every single day. Putting together an awesome outfit in the morning will help to set the tone for the rest of the day. Follow these to ensure that you’re the best dressed in any office!
1. Switch Up Your Blazer
We already know that a blazer adds a polished finish to just about anything but it’s
good to change things up sometimes. Take a break from playing it safe and add a fashionable edge to your work outfit by throwing on a trendy jacket rather than your regular blazer. Chic boxy jackets in neutral colours can amp up just about any ensemble.

2. Give The Tee A Try
A simple t-shirt will always come to your rescue on a rushed morning. No, we’re not joking. You can wear a t-shirt to work if you style it appropriately. A crisp white tee can be tucked into trousers, knee-length skirts and can be worn under blazers too. Accessorize with minimal jewellery, a polished bag and classic heels or flats.

3. You’ve Got Style In The Bag
A standout bag that is fashionable and functional can seriously elevate your whole look. A work-ready purse can dress up your basics for the office and it doesn’t necessarily have to be black. A bag in any pretty colour, as long as it’s classy and not flashy, can do the trick just fine.

4. Can’t Go Wrong With Indo-Western
When it comes to dressing for the office, Indian wear is something that will always help you look stylish and chic. A white kurti with pants or leggings, a simple suit or even a pretty tunic are all you need for nailing work style. Plus, these will help you stay comfy when you have a long day ahead. You can also add a touch of Indian to a western outfit with the help of simple jhumkis, bangles or an ethnic scarf.

5. Say Yes To Stripes
Stripes are one print that will always be in style while looking classic. They can be totally appropriate for the office as well as anywhere else. Pinstripes can be very flattering since they can help elongate your frame. Feel free to experiment with other kinds of stripes too on your shirts, skirts, trousers and jackets. They will seriously ensure for a style that is anything but boring!

But, a look this safe can border on boring, right? The trick is to always wear one statement piece to inject some fun into your look, be it with a bag, shoes, statement jewellery, a watch or your lipstick. Pay attention to the details ladies!
