With hues of blue, white, black and grey dominating the office scene, how do you pull off a cosy vibe with nude hues and still look professional? The secret lies in a careful balance of crisp off-white tones to offset warmer amber colours.

We’d recommend getting the look going with the alice + olivia Roma Oversized Pullover in nude. The pullover is comfortable, ultra-cosy and keeps you warm even in the coldest meeting room. Pair it off with & Other Stories’ Favourite Cut Jeans, a great pair of high-rise jeans with 11 colours to choose from. Our pick is Ecru – a nice pastel cream colour to complement the nude pullover.

Complete the look with CHARLES & KEITH’s Canvas Cut-Out Penny Loafers in beige – with a contrasting two-tone colourway that makes a bold statement once you step into the office. While they appear to be straightforward classic loafers at first glance, a closer look at the detailing tells people you’re more than a basic babe.

Lastly, grab the Mini Jodie bag from Bottega Veneta, which comes with a single compartment to store your valuables. It’s easy to carry around with the trendy top-handle. Now you’re ready to head into that meeting with a comfortable, yet office-friendly look!

If you’re off to client presentations and are going for a more formal and presentable fit, this delicate yet diligent look is for you. KLARRA’s Billowy Cotton Blouse in white will make you look smart and sophisticated with the band collar, button down placket and blouson sleeves with petite cuffs that accentuate your silhouette.

While the blouse can be easily matched with a pair of high-waisted denim jeans for a casual look, we say you should pair it with a formal slit skirt to complete the feminine look. The work-friendly Kianna Front Slit Pencil Skirt from Love, Bonito in black matches perfectly, sitting high and cinched on the waist to highlight your figure.

Finally, slip into HUGO’s edgy pair of Slingback Pumps In Nappa Leather With Flared Heel, and sling on the GG Marmont chain wallet from Gucci made from timeless black leather – now you’re looking demure and confident, all ready to win the presentation.

Some days you might wake up a little late and need to rush to the office ASAP. Girl, we got you. In situations like these, an evening out camisole can double up as office wear with the right pairing. Case-in-point, the Strappy Floral-Trimmed Top from & Other Stories with detailed floral-trimmed shoulder straps go seamlessly from the office to the party.

Tuck your top into a pair of print trousers — ideally made of fabric that requires no ironing when you’re late. UNIQLO’s Smart Ankle Pants 2WAY Stretch fits the bill perfectly for this, and is so versatile too.

For the shoes, pick a pair of stilettos to gift you that lift and confidence in a pinch. We vouch for the classic Pointed Toe Stiletto Pumps from CHARLES & KEITH, available in black, nude and chalk — all standard office colours which will never go wrong.

For an extra formal look if you need to meet clients or important stakeholders, throw on a blazer and you’re good to go. We recommend IN GOOD COMPANY’s HAVILL Summer Suiting Blazer, an open blazer shaped for a streamlined fit, with soft shoulder pads and pockets at the side for form and functionality.

This look will take you from office in the morning to the mall for a casual catchup with friends or a window-shopping evening. The alice + olivia Arias Double Breasted Blazer is a staple in the wardrobe. Put it over a well-fitted t-shirt – like the Womens STND01 Regular Fit T Shirt from Beyond The Vines for a comfortable yet professional look.

Pair these with KLARRA’s Classic Cotton Culottes, available in classic colours that go well together with the t-shirt and blazer. For your bag, try homegrown brand CHARLES AND KEITH’s Braided Handle Quilted Tote Bag that is sure to fit all your belongings, and adds a little more seriousness that balances the outfit.

Then slip on a pair of versatile Clear Trapeze Heel Sandals from CHARLES & KEITH, which look good in the office and will keep you walking easily (as opposed to pointed heels) come evening when you shed the blazer and head to town for that sesh with your pals.
