The idea of ditching those formal work clothes and sitting around in comfortable loungewear all day seemed so divine when we began working from home or had to self-isolate because of the coronavirus crisis. However, after a while in self-quarantine, we’ve really got to know a little about the psychology of dressing and how important it is. There are myriad reasons behind why we should always amp up our wardrobes, including the fact the clothes we wear define us and change the way other people hear what we say. As well as garnering others’ attention, dressing sharp boosts our self-confidence, which is very important while communicating with clients or bosses during a video conference.
Our curated edit of shirts and blouses includes a classic crisp white, the staple beloved by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as that unshakable spring hero, a floral print, and ultra-feminine ruffled necklines. Plus, we didn’t leave out something with polka dots as the spotty motif was one of the biggest trends that made waves on the SS20 runways. We also added a couple of uber-stylish belted pieces, including a blazer from Madiyah Al Sharqi and a hybrid shirt/blazer from Nemozena, another successful fashion brand born in the UAE. For other blazers and jackets, choose from commanding double breasted, drill, boyfriend style or slim-fit. Now whether you want to cheat a little and match them with some slouchy tracksuit bottoms, PJs or shorts is up to you…
