How does one replenish their wardrobe to look updated and not be worried about accumulating clothes that may go out of trend soon? Don’t worry, you’re not alone in this crisis, we’re all on the same page! We do not have places to go at the moment, but we still want to look smart for the work virtual meetings, there are little to no gatherings, but we still want to dress up for the at-home festive celebrations to keep the festive mood on!
Coming from a stylists perspective, shopping for clothes is not an essential at the moment, but if you’re open to let loose on the wallet a little, it can keep your wardrobe up-to-date. It’s been quite a while since work from home became a norm, so now is the time to shop for some essential pieces from this season on sites such as Wadav. On virtual meetings, what you wear from waist up is all that matters. So look for chic blouses with pleated detailing, button down shirts in stripes, or cotton kurtas with minimal design. Your trendy pieces can easily be paired with comfortable culottes, athleisure pants, palazzo, boyfriend jeans or jegging that you already have in your wardrobe. The key is to mix the current trends with your existing classic bottoms. Complete it with earrings as it is closest to your visage and adds up to the look. Your next best option is a dress in a style you like, Midi dress, A-line, straight or snug fit, make sure it is not too flowy or it might come off as a casual look. Maintain the smart formal look opt for minimal prints or dark colours wear a sleek belt on waist if required. Below are a few of my favourite trending pieces from this season.
