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 men:
1)Shirt
o White is a MUST.
o Subsequent shirts - go for anything that is light coloured.
o You may opt for striped shirts. Just make sure the stripes don’t make you look like a convict.
2)Ties
o Anything with cartoon motives and weird designs are a complete no-no.
o If anything that is less than 3 inches are meant for school, not office.
o If you are on a budget, buy ties and shirts that can be mixed and matched.
3)Pants
o Opt for colours like black, navy blue and dark grey for a start.
o Dare to be different? Checkered prints are okay, but keep them for casual wear on weekends.
4)Belts
o Black or dark brown is good. Make sure your buckle is not too big or has symbols and logos of Playboy Bunny.
