Work Hard, Sleep Well, Look Great: The Women's Wardrobe Guide Nobody Gave You
There are a lot of discussions about work-life balance, but very few about wardrobe balance. Yet the clothes you wear at your desk and the ones you slip into at the end of the day give a good indication of how well you're really looking after yourself. The thing is, you should feel good in either.
There are three chapters to the modern Indian female wardrobe. The chapter about the public side of your life and smart dressing. In between is the chapter in the cord set that extends from brunch to a working meeting. Then there is the private chapter-the kaftan night suit, which wraps you up at the end of a long day. Think of them as much as you would think of your work.
Office attire that truly fits your lifestyle.
Office wear has undergone a tremendous change. The post-pandemic workplaces are drastically different, and even the more traditional workplace has embraced a more personal approach to what people wear. Which means your office wear can now be as representative of you as you are.
This is a really exciting change for Indian women. A beautifully printed Linen Kurta with tapered pants is now a part of the office wear. A deep jewel tone cotton co-ord with structure. A set of handlooms with a natural flow that doesn't sound clichéd. Not wearing an outfit to the office meant wearing crisp Western formals, and that's now a thing of the past, because it's so much better.
Fit and fabric are the two most important aspects of office wear to date. The silhouette and the print don't matter; clothes that fit well and have a good material will look professional at all times. Begin there, and it's all just personal expression.
The Coord Set: Fashion's Most Useful Idea
There is really only one piece of fashion advice that can be given to almost every woman at any age, and that is to have one or more really good sets of coordinates. The point is that the best coord set is the closest fashion has to a cheat code.
You slip it on, and you're dressed! Not only dressed but also coordinated, considered, and put together. No need to wonder what goes in the top and the bottom. No sense of decision fatigue in the morning. A fully fledged system that just does what it needs to do.
The sets of coordinates being manufactured by the Indian brands are really stunning. Cotton "coord" sets in hand-block Bagru prints. Soft neutral linen coordinates for a picture-perfect photo finish. From casual to festive, embroidered coord sets are versatile enough for coffee and formal enough for a festive lunch. The coord set has emerged as the Swiss Army knife of the indian wardrobe and for a vbery good reason.
The Kaftan Night Suit: To make your evenings look stylish, too
Let's write a love letter to the kaftan night suit. This is the most underestimated item in a lady's Indian closet, and no longer are we going to turn a blind eye to it.
A kaftan night suit is more than just nightwear. It's the custom of putting on different clothes, which communicates to your body and mind that the day is drawing to a close. It's soft, it's flowing, and if it's from good quality cotton or a fine material with a nice print, it's sort of a thing to be pleased with.
The Bottom Line
Your clothes ought to look after you at all times. Smart workwear that makes you feel good at work. A wonderful coord set to carry you in between. And a pretty kaftan night suit that brings the day to a soft and easy close. You deserve them all, in a manner of excellence.
You should only wear clothes that are useful to you; otherwise, what is the point?
