Not soo corporate!

Hello everyone!

Rains has its pros and cons. Now when everybody is enjoying the festive season and showers all day and night, Pooja and me are dying to have a shoot. But not that we are not loving the season, but there is so much to share. Anyways, too much cribbing happened over rains.

But now that we do have something to share with you all... Lets do it! So I have been giving dozens of interviews and everywhere they ask me to come in strict formals otherwise they would not take my interview. And... I don't have strict formals. Days went crazy struggling almost everyday thinking what to wear. But then I came across with this term Business Casuals. Such a life saviour it is.

If you are not very comfortable with formals, business casuals is a thing for you. It allows you to experiment with colours and patterns. So we want to share a few stuff we love and a little do's and don'ts about it.

  1. Tops and Shirts - Printed or plain, women have a lot of options in this department. Neutrals are always a safe option. Prints like stipes or floral with tiny  motifs are pleasing to the eyes. Your shirt can be un-tucked and patterns like ruffles add a touch of elegance.Gaudy colours or wild prints can be an eyesore.
  2. Blazers - Now as the outfits mostly follow a monochromatic colour scheme, blazers can add a pop of colour to the otherwise boring outfit. Prefer structured blazers. Choose solid colours like maroon, blue or grey. Women can also wear pastels, provided the outfit doesnt have more colours. Do not wear over-sized blazers or coats, you don't want to look out of place, yea?
  3. Skirts - You cannot go wrong with pencil skirts when it comes to wearing them at the office. Make sure your skirts are knee lenght or below the knee. Prints, lace, or just pleated, there are feminine and chic. You can also wear the flared one's but dont forget the norms.
  4. Belts and Accessories - Belts are like a necessity. Wear your belts to accentuate your waist, over a high waist skirt or with trouser. Belts complete the look. When it comes to accessories pearls are an epitome of class! You can also wear a simple long chain with your pants and blouse.Try not to wear chunky jewellery or too much of bling.
  5. Dresses - For a meeting, at a business party or for everyday office, dresses are stylish and comfortable. Do keep in mind the corporate rules that the dress should not be very short and too fitted. Accessorize them with dainty jewellery, stilettos and a bright coloured blazer or cardigan. Use colours like peach, grey, teal for freshness.
  6. Scarfs - They are pretty and go with almost every outfit. Scarfs are for both summer and winter. You can experiment with them by tying them in whichever way you are comfortable. They add that bit of chripy-ness to an outfit.
