From Desk To Drinks: What We’re Wearing

Forget meal prep, this is where the real life hacks are at.

So you’ve got a thing. And it’s straight after work. And, yep, that meeting is definitely going to run over so it’ll be a straight-there affair.

So, what to wear?

In the early hours of the morning, somewhere between cancelling your pilates class and the snooze alarm going off for the 15th time, you’re looking for (or clutching at) a zero-effort formula. One you can throw on and go, one that will take you through your work day until you decide to call it a night (preferably somewhere other than at your desk).

Here’s a few tried and tested tricks from those of us who are old hands at the desk-to-drinks rodeo. Three zero-effort formulas coming right up…

The tailored pants

The tailored pants

Channel Julia Roberts in My Best Friend’s Wedding and go the loose-fit tailored pants. Take it from her, you can do some real damage in these babies. Ultra elegant and following Frankie’s instruction: relaxed. Keep it simple on top with a simple crew neck tee or weigh in with some more tailoring.

The wear-everywhere blazer

The wear-everywhere blazer

It’s the perfect feel-fresh look that says you’ve got this … Even when you feel like you’re struggling to shake that imposter syndrome. Versatile, you can team yours with pretty much anything (and everything) in your wardrobe – from jeans to dresses – to add instant polish. Layer yours with knits, with trenches, or with whatever else fell out of your closet this morning.

Plus, it’s the perfect ally against your office air-conditioning.

The statement skirt

The statement skirt

Super femme, the skirt is a trust go-to. Team yours with a simple tee or something a little more tailored. A hot tip for young players: a strong print hides a thousand creases. Go the distance in a pop-print statement skirt in a fabric that feels fresh, no matter how many excel spreadsheets they’ve seen you through.
