Mornings are the toughest, especially winter mornings. You don’t want to get out of your warm, cosy blanket and let alone decide what you need to wear to work in the freezing temperature. Choosing between fashion and warmth gets a little difficult and then you just end up wearing the same jacket for most of the season and hating your work wear which makes getting up in the morning even less motivating.
If you want to know how not to dress boring for work, then check out my outfit inspiration for office wear this winter. These styles and tips will keep you looking chic and confident to handle any situation fashionably this season.
I have created a classic professional look with a jacquard blazer and a silk blend top. I got the Kate Ponte Jacquard Blazer from Boden for my work wear wardrobe. It is a classic single-breasted jacket in navy blue with double pockets and a back split. The jacket is comfortable, stylish and has a good fabric. Plus navy blue is a basic colour which almost goes on everything, and since the fabric is thick, it is suitable for cold weather. This jacket is great for casual wear or work wear, depending on how to team it up. I teamed it up with a Ravello top from Boden as well. With pleated neckline and cap sleeves, this top is a relaxed and feminine piece. It works well with a tucked in look. I paired the top and the coat with skinny jeans and platform courts. You can also wear boots or heels. But I personally prefer platform shoes since they are more comfortable without comprising on the heel. For a formal look, you can even pair the coat and the top with a dark blue pencil skirt and heels.

Apart from this look, you can also think about blazers in warm fabrics like leather, velvet, or jacquard. Make your trousers more fun by going for jacquard or wool pants. They are warm, comfortable and stylish. Team them with your favourite cashmere sweater or a regular shirt and a long coat, and you are good to go. You don’t have to wear trousers or pants you can also go for a jacquard or knit dress and team it with leg warmers or slim pants. Shirt dresses or jumpers also look great with slim trousers. You can switch from your heels to ankle boots for more comfort during the harsh winters. If you want to dress up like a girl boss, then team up a silk blouse with a pencil skirt, knee high boots in suede with a knit scarf. Stick to sharp styles and mix and match different pieces in your wardrobe like a midi dress with a turtleneck sweater for a fashionable look. If you are going for a basic look in neutral shades, then you can add some statement accessories like a hat, bag or jewellery to make your outfit pop.

For instance – You can either pair a skater white dress with a black leather jacket and open toe boots for an edgy look or pair it with tan accessories like a belt and wedges for a casual look. Rock the effortless look at picnic in the park by throwing on a colorful scarf and sandals. If you are not big on accessories like bracelets and earrings then just add a pop of color by carrying a vibrant colored clutch and break the monotony.
It’s a fit ‘n’ flare dress with a pleated skirt and a cross over back. This piece is a classic with a light floral design. It is one of the most versatile outfits in my closet. I styled this outfit with a navy bag, black strappy heels and metallic jewelry. Gold or silver jewelry looks subtle and chic on a white dress. I wanted an elegant look so I lightly curled my hair and applied natural makeup and just focused on adding some color to the outfit with a bright lipstick.
A coffee date is a safe option for a first date or a date where you want to get to know the person in a casual and comfortable setting. Unlike dancing or going for a movie, a coffee date helps you to really get to know the person and stimulates conversation.
Autumn is a season of colors. Add a pop of color in your outfit for a chic look. If you are going for an oversized top or jacket then you can team it up with body hugging skinny jeans.
You can layer up a dark tshirt with an oversized knit cardigan. Love the fact that this cardigan has tasselled edges and a beautiful draping in a flecked, stripe-detail yarn, combined . With skinny jeans and the right accessorizes like a cap, and structured bag or high heels you can add the much desired oomph to the outfit without being too over the top.
As you can see, I’m wearing a V-Neck rivet embellished tank top with simple blue denims and very little accessorising. My sandals are ghungaroo-embellished flats and bag, a printed tote. Even though nothing is too over-the-top bohemian really, the overall look is one of casual quirkiness that is rather charming.
So I teamed my favourite Zalful top with a pair of plain denims to avoid going overboard with the bohemianism. Instead of wearing very striking clothes, I carried a statement bag, wore some bangles and bracelets, and put on a pair of funky shoes. The idea was to look like I had just thrown on whatever was within easy reach in my closet and still look fashionable.
What about you? What brings out the boho glam in you? Do share, I’d love to know!
In honour of my love for the orange palette, I decided to write a post on a classic autumn ensemble which celebrates orangey hues. As you can see in the picture, I have teamed a deep orange top with cropped white jeans. A pair of white flats with cut-work detailing and white Michael Kors tote complete my ensemble. The outfit creates a chic, casual look which is great for daytime and evening outings. The makeup, though subtle, has a pop of colour on the lips, which adds a dose of glamour to the overall look.

I am sport a navy blue lacy off shoulder top with white capri’s. The top are intricate floral lace and ruffle on top. I wanted a super casual look so I opted for bare minimum accessories. I wore brown sandals, studs for earrings and a bracelet. Since I was going for a casual look I went for natural and subtle makeup as well. I paired my outfit with a pink lipstick and some blush.
There are several ways one can carry off the off shoulder trend. For a super casual look for can pair an off shoulder top with boyfriend jeans and a pair of slip on shoes or pair it with an A-line midi skirt for a vintage look.
Off shoulder can also be worn to work. You can layer an off-the-shoulder top over a blouse with trousers. You can tie your hair in a sleek ponytail or a bun. If you have a meeting then you can throw on a blazer over your off shoulder top and keep your face makeup free. For a bold look you can pair a solid colored off shoulder top with printed pants for a cool look. If you are a fan of flared jeans you can wear it with a loose off shoulder top, multi layered necklace and wedges for a retro look. You can also make a regular tee into an off shoulder top by tying it on one end and letting the opposite side fall down your arm.
If you’re heading to work, you can switch up the blouse with a crisp white shirt instead – a classic staple piece that will never go out of style. When the weather is cooler, I love to toughen up my outfit by pairing feminine skirts with a bold leather jacket. So much oomph.
So this is what I did; on my day trip to Historic Stratford upon Avon, known for being the birth place of Shakespeare, I styled their geometric print jacket with a bold cobalt blue top. It is a sophisticated outfit which is striking no doubt, yet very much on trend as well. I have styled this top with a slim black trouser and matching pair of platform shoes. I chose to wear platform shoes for they are easy to walk in; the perfect choice when I know I will be taking long strolls in beautiful parks. I accessorized with a silver statement necklace in geometric design to add glamour to the whole look.
