How to Dress for Work? ... à La Tanvi

By Tanvi Rastogi @tanviidotcom
Simple, Clean & Professional,  is how I would describe my professional wardrobe.  A lot of you have requested 'Work/Office Wear' posts in the past but since my work life doesn't involve dressing up in office wear I couldn't oblige. However, a couple of weeks back I had an opportunity to dress up professionally, and since there is no photographer available (aka husband) during the day I made do with the good-old selfies with the phone camera and mirror.  Two most important things, for me in office wear, are: 
  • Comfort &
  • Fit 
Stark opposite to my casual style, I like darker shades (blue, black, grey) and straight lines and prefer to add color only in small doses. When dressing for work, I mean all business. I do not want to be distracted by my clothes, hair or accessories. Instead I want them to come together to convey a clean and professional image.  My Office Wear Staples Include:
  1. At least TWO well fitted suits (Black & Brown)
  2. Pencil Skirts 
  3. Button Down Shirts & Blouses (26 min., one for each working day in the month)
  4. Trousers
  5. Stockings
  6. At least TWO pairs of smart AND comfortable shoes
