WEARING the right colour does matter when at work, not only to look presentabl­e but, more importantl­y, to boost confidence and set the right mood to do your job.

Fresh and vibrant colours are at their best in the latest office wear collection by homegrown modest clothing label, Umma.

The new Umma Essential brings forward contempora­ry ready-to-wear designs that comprise timeless and modern staples suitable for work as well as leisure or casual occasions.

The chic collection, of mainly trousers and tops in modern cuts, is designed with comfort in mind without compromisi­ng style.

COMFY

From a Japanese influenced blouse to a top that exudes classy elegance inspired by the traditiona­l kurung, each garment from Umma Essential is tailored to make dressing up for work effortless and quick.

The Keely is a loose-cut kimono knot wrap made of cotton — an ideal pick for anyone wanting to accentuate personal style or portray a slimmer silhouette.

Made from textured cotton fabric, Asha is a loose-fit top that features a basic V-neck and minimal ruffle detailing on the hemline for that added sense of style. The top goes well with carrot-cut trousers.

The brand’s modest yet chic aesthetic is clearly defined in Ella, a blouse that comes with puff sleeves and a pocket-like element on the right side.

The new line-up also features trousers in several designs, ranging from bell-bottoms to straight cuts for easy mix and match.

LIVELY SHADES

Colours are everything in Umma Essential. The tops come in pleasing colours

like baby blue, olive, teal, lavender, dusty pink and mustard, evoking a positive mood and fun vibe whether at work or at play.

Beige, black, dark brown, olive and grey are the standard shades in trousers, making it practical to complement any ensemble.

Umma Essential is available online at https://umma./my and Umma’s counter at Isetan KLCC.
