In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Sukanya Bhataacharya, Founder of Prathaa, shared, “With the pandemic passing us by and “outdoors” replaced by “at home”, our fashion consumption altered with the visual appeal being replaced by comfort. Steadily the work-from-home going to back-to-work reorienting our dressing. This time however, a merger of comfort and functionality with work leisure and power casual clothing is making it to the top. Above all, there has been immense mindfulness in the purchase sentiment. This has further led to the industry focusing on a customer-centric approach as opposed to the one-following style trends.”
She revealed 5 top fashion tips for choosing work wear while keeping with the above sentiment –
1. Choose comfort and functionality over trend - Designs that are admired both for their beauty and their performance especially by picking silhouettes in breathable fabrics. Dresses, Tunics, Wide-legged pants, Comfort fit tops, and Semi-formal Jumpsuits add up to a unique fashion statement. Look out for garments with pockets for functionality purposes.
2. Versatility - That which can be styled differently each time you choose to wear it increases the number of wear per garment, which further has a subtle connection to sustainability in fashion. In short, multi-functional clothes. Think - a dress as a tunic, or a cape, a crop top as a jacket or a saree blouse.
3. Accessorise - Always in fashion. Consider garment accessories: blazers, jackets,semi-formal capes, stoles, scarves, and more. Always handy for a desk to-party look.
4. Support local - Local businesses have their ear on the ground and develop products understanding your needs. Their conversations with you are a constant process of growth. Your support is paramount to them. A feel-good and a look-good list to elevate your confidence and brighten up your workspace in the wake of the new dawn post the pandemic.
5. Investment in less but best - A minimalist closet is the best closet. Focussing on quality, the people and process.
