Are you fresh from university and clueless on what to wear for work? Wendy Lee from Chapter One Asia shares with us 10 basic pieces a woman and man should have in his/her wardrobe as she/he makes the transition from college/university to office.
For women:
1) Skirt Suit
o Considered the highest ranking in terms of hierarchy of dress code for ladies.
o You can never go wrong with this ensemble – it just says lady-like but assertive and strong.
2) Pant Suit
o Wear the jacket and pants together to show you mean business—or treat them like separates to maximize their use.
o Add a chic tank top inside – whether it’s coloured or plain – gives you a bit of colour to your ensemble.
3) White button-down shirt
o A fitted one will get the most wear: It's easier to tuck in and looks neat when left out.
4) Crisp white or pastel coloured blouse
o Softer looking than a button-down, a white or pastel coloured blouse is a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
5) Chic Cardigan
o Adds a touch of feminity.
o Great for casual Fridays.
