An office wardrobe can feel boring. There are only so many white shirts, black trousers and sensible blazers one can wear before the nine-to-five uniform starts to feel, well, like a uniform. But the answer isn’t to colour completely outside the lines—it is to colour within them, and make it more interesting. Look closely at the cut of a shirt, the finish of a cuff, the drape of a jacket, the texture of a fabric—the smallest details do the most work. Increasingly, there is an interest in building that wardrobe with pieces from Indian homegrown designers. These clothes, made with thought and longevity in mind, are both stylish and comfortable, and feels better than contributing to the growing pile of fast fashion pieces.
