BUSINESS CASUAL 1 OUTFIT

Looking for a casual outfit to wear to work? Slip into a crisp pair of blue jeans and put on a white button-down shirt. If you want, you can throw on a blazer as well or otherwise hold it on until when necessary.

BUSINESS COCKTAIL 4 PARTY OUTFIT

Here is an example of a stylish ensemble when invited to a business cocktail party. You may prefer neutral colours. Keep it business casual. You can always remove the jacket and roll up the sleeves as well if you want an even more casual look. If you like a little flare with your shoe choices, consider suede boots.

LAYER FREE LOOK 5

In the dry season, avoiding layers is probably your main goal, to stay as cool and comfortabl­e as possible. Here is a fantastic layer-free look that maintains profession­alism and style.

CASUAL WORK 2 ATTIRE

For a casual workday, remain profession­al but feel free to whip out your best jeans for this stylish summer ensemble you will love. Skip the tie and cuff links and lay aside your darker suit jackets in favour of this summer-jacket. Wear dress shoes and use a tiny brown belt and hat as a finishing touch.

WORK EVENT 3 OUTFIT

The light colours will have you feeling cool and fresh even at a work event. Play up your regular style by giving the pale pink suit a try. Bypass the tie in favour of a floral button-down shirt, open at the collar.

EVERYDAY WORK SUIT

In the warmer weather, put away your dark suits and give a pale brown suit a try. You will want to avoid a three-piece suit as extra layers are never fun in the dry season. Finish off the look with black dress shoes and a black tie.

TRAVEL 7 WORK OUTFIT If you have to travel for work, you should always aim for a conservati­ve yet classy look instead of a trendy one. Here is a great outfit option you can try, go for jeans with dark wash and slightly loose fit and a sweet shirt, pair with dress shoes. This look is well-coordinate­d and structured without being overly dressy.

EFFORTLESS STYLE 8 Combining varying shades is always a great look. Pair a white shirt with wine blazer and white slacks. Match your belt to your dress shoes and be sure to add a watch for a practical accessory. Remember fit and cut is always super important. These well-tailored slacks look fantastic with just enough give at the ankle. In most cases, it is best to avoid exposing your ankles for work attire.
