How to Double Up Your Ethnic Wear as Formals for the Workplace

 With offices being shut in the era of a global pandemic, all us wore pajamas and shorts to office meetings, and we are not complaining. Yes! let's be wildly honest about it. But, the world is 'back to office' now, and in a flash, ladies have nothing to wear. The timeless crisis of 'I don't have anything to wear' has outgrown even further. Worry not, for we are here for the rescue! Here are 3 ways you can style the ethnic pieces gathering dust in your cupboard as classy work day formals.

 Power Suits

Suits are power dressing in the ultimate sense for women at workplace. Style your suits with flared palazzos for a chic bling look, while experiencing an airy, free feel in the office all day long. Another fine, unconventional way to style your suits is wearing traditional brooches to accessorise them. This look brings on your A game while turning heads around as you go.

 Kurtis for a last minute glam ensemble

You can never go wrong with kurtis at the workplace. Plain or printed, long or short, fitted or loose, they all give you a tidy formal appearance. Pair your regular cotton kurtis with palazzos, cigarette, parallel or patiala pants to give a fresh revamp to the mundane salwar suit look. Simple straight cuts, chiffon and georgette kurtis wrap the figure beautifully, giving you a sophisticated, well put up look. If you want a pure formal look, you can go for khadi kurtas. These are super breathable and decent. Finish the look with evergreen jhumkis or smart studs and we bet you will look nothing short of stunning. You can even wear rings and light danglers to spice up the look and remember not to go overboard with it. Complement your look with bellies or minimal design block heels.

Sassing a Saree Look

Wearing the same formal shirt pant to office can become quite monotonous. The next time you are at the wheel for an important presentation, opt for a charismatic saree to instantly unlock your super bold, confident side. Two things to keep in mind while adding a formal touch to your saree dressing are - the fabric and how you drape it. Georgette and crepe sarees are the best bet as they are lightweight, do not wrinkle easily and make you look super slim, enhancing those curves ..... exactly how you want them! Go with the pinned nivi style wrap for an effortlessly stylish and smart look. Replace boring blouses with elegant crop and tunic tops and you are all set to be the fashionista many look up to in office. Accessorise using pearl neckbands, chic bracelets, statement rings and a sleek wrist watch. If your outfit already has big patches and bold prints, wear simple silver or gold neck pieces and rings for just the right amount of bling your outfit needs.

 Sport kanjivaram silk sarees for a grand look at business parties. Leave the pallu open for this one. The intricate details and smooth finish of the saree helps you stand out perfectly.

 

You got the tricks now. Right under your sleeves! Try them out for a fresh, stylish feel on a work day.
