The ultimate solution in lazy dressing comes in the form of a utilitarian jumpsuit. You don’t have to think too much about how to style it, and you can throw it on in the morning and trust that you look ready enough to head out the door. Plus, the thicker fabric also means you’ll be kept warm when the weather starts getting wet.
Sometimes, the easiest way to look good is to throw on a pair of statement earrings and call it a day. Alternatively, experiment with stackable bracelets or a choker to dress up the dullest of outfits.
When the skies turn grey outside and the office becomes a giant freezer box, you’ll thank your lucky stars you brought a knit sweater with you to the office. When not in use, find creative ways of wearing it by looping it around your shoulders or your waist.
One of the fastest ways to dress up your look is to rely on bright accessories — and the easiest of them all is a pair of colour-saturated heels. Even with an outfit as plain as a white shirt and simple slacks, you can throw them on and you’re ready to conquer!
Even though it’s rainy season, Singaporean weather is known for ricocheting towards blistering heat as well. This in turn creates the perfect weather for a major flu season. To avoid that, make sure you’re dressed warm for the office, as some office A/Cs are known for blasting cold air into the room. Opt for a fine, lightweight knit top with a simple skirt to look presentable.
For a look that’s super easy to recreate, looks cool and feels timeless at the same time, pair a chunky knit with a pair of leather trousers.
Not everyone wants to wear denim to the office because it might look too casual, but perhaps the key to working jeans for the office lies in the exact colour of denim you’re using. Go for a pair of jeans in biscuit or white for a classier and less obvious way to wear denim.
Pyjama-dressing is one of our favourite trends because it’s so comfortable to wear and you don’t have to spend much time fussing. Plus, when it’s rainy outside, you can always throw on a denim jacket to keep you warm.
A biker jacket is one of those things that never go out of style, and they make great jackets to have at the office for when you need a last-minute spruce up or a way to keep warm when it pours outside.
The white shirt is definitely the workhorse of any outfit, and it proves its power once again when you pair it with a statement skirt. The white helps to freshen up your look and allows the statement skirt to take the spotlight.
The scarf hem, also known as the handkerchief hem, is a great way of dressing up when you don’t feel inspired, because it automatically feels a little more dressed up and dramatic as compared to a normal dress. Plus, when it gets windy outside, you’ll look super chic as your hem flutters in the breeze.
Sporty details are a great way of adding something extra to a plain outfit. Slim-fitted pants with a sporty stripe or a dressed-up sweatshirt are all great options for when you don’t want to fuss too much with your clothes.
Slip dresses often give off the impression that you’re going to a party, which means it helps to dress up anything you might pair it with. For the office, balance it with a knit top underneath so you don’t look like you just came to work from the bar.
If it’s rainy outside, evoking cozy vibes in the office will help ease away the blues. We love the idea of wearing a long-sleeved dress, because it keeps you warmer without you feeling overheated when you head out for lunch.
Classics are classics for a reason — you can’t go wrong with them. Pairing black and white together gives you an outfit that you can always depend on even when you don’t feel like dressing up.
An oversized blazer tells people that you’re cool, laidback and you still get the job done. What more can you ask for from an unassuming jacket?
Coats in Singapore generally attract stares on the train, but when you style it with some imagination, it makes for the perfect layering piece. Just like it’s shown here, belt a lightweight trench coat and shrug it off your shoulder for a fun twist.
