A crisp, white button-down shirt is a timeless wardrobe essential
With a mix of versatile staples, smart colours, and go-anywhere pieces, you’ll be stepping out in style, feeling confident, and staying comfortable all day long
We’ve all been there – staring at the closet for hours and thinking, ‘What do I wear today? If that sounds like your morning routine, don’t worry, you’re not alone. We totally feel you! Striking the perfect balance between style and sophistication every day can feel like a real challenge. It’s no easy task, especially when you’re heading to the office daily. But honestly, it’s not exactly a cakewalk for the WFH folks either. Even if you’re working from home, you will likely have to leave the house from time to time for client meetings and work-related errands, so make sure you have a few dressier outfits sitting in your closet for those occasions.
But don’t worry – the secret to mastering the whole AM-to-PM style thing is now easier than you think. Neha Saluja, Design Head, Pink Fort and Sundeepa Bamval, Creative Director, FableStreet share how to level up your workwear game with pieces that would do it all!
Versatile Staples that Do It All
The golden rule of workwear: versatility is key. You want pieces that take you from boardrooms to brunches without breaking a sweat. Think shirts that look sharp enough for meetings, but are flexible enough for after-work catch-ups. Try FableStreet’s structured yet comfortable shirts, the easiest pick for all-day wear.
AM-to-PM Transition Made Easy
No one has time for a full outfit change halfway through the day. That’s where AM-to-PM styling comes in. The idea is simple—choose pieces that transition seamlessly from professional settings to more casual ones. For instance, a kurta set from Pink Fort can be just as fitting at a morning meeting as it is at an evening event. Or you can just put on a structured blazer over the top and pair it with LivIn pants to get ready for the after-work plans.
Mix It Up with Subtle Colors and Patterns
While neutrals (black, brown, and greys) are solid go-to’s for the season, you must not shy away from playing with subtle colors and patterns. For instance, a hint of colour combined with minimal prints (stripes or soft florals) can instantly add personality to your look. FableStreet’s wide range of dresses are perfect to get that blend. And if you love handcrafted Indian prints, then you should go for Pink Fort’s kurtas. They strike the perfect balance between formal and relaxed fits, letting you switch up your work wardrobe without a second thought.
Find the Right Balance Between Stylish and Comfortable
Being a working professional, you must invest in comfortable clothing that keeps up with the latest trends. Want to know the trick of doing that? Choose fabrics that take you through the day with ease like breathable cottons and linens, stretchable ones like lycra or elastane. Also pick clothing that moves with you and fits just right, whether you’re sitting or standing. When you want to feel confident for that morning meeting but still relaxed when the day stretches into the evening – FableStreet’s Dresses are a lifesaver here. They will make you feel good, while still offering the comfort you need to power through the day. Add in LivIn pants for that extra bit of stretch and you’re set for whatever comes your way.
Get your Co-ord Game on!
We can’t stress enough how much of a game-changer co-ord sets can be. They’re the no-brainer solution to those “I have nothing to wear” moments. Perfectly paired and always polished, they’re ideal for when you want to look like you’ve put in effort, without actually putting in effort. Need to run from an early meeting to an evening party? A sleek co-ord will have you covered, no wardrobe crisis required. On the other hand, if you are more into new-age variants of Indian wear then try co-ord sets from Pink Fort.
So there you have it – save this guide to master your work wardrobe with ease. With a mix of versatile staples, smart colours, and go-anywhere pieces, you’ll be stepping out in style, feeling confident, and staying comfortable all day long. Whether it’s an early morning huddle or an unexpected evening out, you’ll be ready for whatever comes your way – looking every bit the boss lady you are.
