Those little adjustments to your clothing will make a huge difference, trust us.  

2. Stock up on work staples

If you don’t have these, get them! You can mix and match them with anything. Go for greys, blacks and beiges for versatility. You can also experiment with pastel shades for a softer effect.  

3. Infuse the latest trends

Exchange your regular trousers for a pair of culottes. You could choose to add a statement neck-piece with your formal shirt to make it stand out. But don’t go over-the-top, play it smart and just add one trendy piece to stand out.   4. Add a pop of colour how to accessorise for work how to accessorise for work The colour palette of your work wear is usually limited to colours like black, navy, grey, beige, etc. Step out a little bit by infusing some colour. Add a dash of colour with a bright coloured bag, a printed shirt or a quirky jacket. Watch your fashion quotient soar with this simple action.  

5. Go for stylish accessories

You could also fold your jacket sleeves to soften the formal effect.   7. Pick up trendy Indian clothing Indian workwear Indian workwear

Indian clothing is a great way to look smart and professional while also racking up style points. Think classy cotton sarees in muted tones, solid kurtas with mandarin collars, cropped trousers, indie kurtis and others. Comfortable and oh-so-style savvy, they will be your go-to pieces on days when you just don't know what to wear.

 

While these are our tips for looking great at work, you don’t have to necessarily follow the conventions. You can look awesome at work even with a hastily put-together bun, boyfriend jeans and an oversized tee. But why not put 5 more minutes into your routine to look more presentable and feel more confident?

 

A dash of red lipstick, kohl lined eyes, messy side braids, well-manicured nails… they take very little time and make all the difference!
