Hi guys!
How have you all been? Good I hope :). So, this past week I
worked on a post about infusing fashion trends into work clothes using some items
we have in stock at the store. This doesn’t really sound like space science but
when you have to navigate the road blocks of cooperate dress codes it can be a
bit of a challenge. I appreciate that some of these pieces would probably still not
fly within some corporate settings, thanks to strict dress code restrictions.
The way around these restrictions is to rely on textures and detailing. Take
this as a guide to help you strike the balance between professional and trendy.
Trend
1: #Stripes
Rather
than go for your trusty pinstripe pants, consider investing in a tailored
striped jacket. A great pinstriped jacket paired with a bright coloured
separate can add some flair to your regular suit style.
Trend
2: # Printed Pants
While
this may be off limits in some organisations, where it is allowed, consider a
nicely tailored printed pant preferably in a muted colour scheme. This is a
great look to spot for dress down Fridays.
Trend
3: #Lace
Though lace might not look appropriate for work, but in the forms of tops and camisole
they can add more versatility to your work look.
Trend
4: #Polka Dots
Polka
dots are considered classic prints and as such are never really out of fashion,
a great way to wear this trend is to wear as a dress while keeping accessories
to the minimal. Consider throwing on a blazer or a cardigan over a polka dot
dress to tone it down if this is considered too loud at your work place.
Trend
5: #Pinafore Dress
This
is a great way to give your wardrobe extra millage and make your looks more
versatile. It also a great trick to wear sleeveless dresses that might
ordinarily not be office appropriate.
Trend
6: #Peplums
Peplums
are great for enhancing the female form while hiding everything you want
hidden. It’s a silhouette that is very forgiving while being figure flattering
and trendy.
Trend
7: #Colour Blocking
The
way to pull off this trend at the work place is to stick within the same colour
family. A dark blue blazer with a sky blue blouse and an indigo skirt would
keep you looking trendy and within 9-5 dress codes.
This is my 2kobo on working trends into professional clothing, what is yours?
Catch you here soon :).
Nice tips honey! :)
