Back To Work Winning Outfits
BACK TO WORK WINNING OUTFITS
Truth is, most of us haven’t travelled or been out of home much since the start of the pandemic and series of lockdowns. The only time we really have to pull out some decent outfits was when we have a video call. So it’s fair to say that our OOTD planning skills may be a little rusty.
Whether you’re feeling excited or dreadful, a little advance wardrobe planning with winning work outfits will go a long way in psyching you up to head back to the office.
MONDAY
It’s the first day back to the grind and you’ve got a day lined up with meetings with your superiors and team to keep everyone up to speed on what’s been happening and prepare for what’s to come.
You would definitely want to dress to impress, but at the same time, it’s important not to appear overly serious with a no-nonsense vibe. Inject a dose of positivity with a pop of colours, such as a vibrant stripe tie or a suit in a slightly lighter colour other than black.

TUESDAY
It’s a busy and fast-paced day. You will likely have a lot of follow up work after the meetings you’ve attended on Monday, and for some, you may have a few more meetings lined up today.
Dress to suit your mood, focused and keen. Achieve this with a well-ironed shirt and simple tie. You may consider losing the blazer to ensure that you can move about swiftly and comfortably while getting tasks checked off.

WEDNESDAY
It’s hump day! You’ve planned a mid week catch-up with your colleagues or friends after work. You need an outfit that can take you from day to night.
Keep things fresh with a shirt with a mandarin collar. The versatility allows you to look corporate when donned with a blazer. Without the blazer, it’s the perfect relaxed shirt to take you through dinner and drinks at the alfresco bar with your mates.

THURSDAY
We are close to the end of the week. You have likely cleared most of the heavy-weight tasks from your list of to-dos, and is looking forward to the weekend.
How about easing into dress-down Friday and switching up your style with simple prints like checks?
To keep the attention on the print, pair with a plain or subtler bottom, with accessories to lend a finishing touch.

FRIDAY
TGIF! You’re likely meeting your friends for a few Friday night tipple after work. You want to look good for them and for whoever you may meet or bump into at the bar. The trick is to dress down, but still look sharp.
T-shirt is a convenient choice and you likely have already got quite a few in your wardrobe. Pair it well, and it can take you from full-on casual to smart casual. Nothing beats a well-made garb that is perfectly tailored to your exacting needs.
