Office wear can get a little dreary and quiet predictable because of the formal setting requires cool colours, dark tones and neutral ensembles.
While that's fine, a little switch on your office wear options , can totally uplift your ensemble and give a sensuous twist to a sleek working wardrobe.
Here's how you do it with BLAZERS:

 Ruffles & Pleated Blazers

Give your blazers a stylish update by opting for pieces that are detailed with a ruffles and pleats.
The ruffles will add a feminine accent to your outfit, while the pleats would help create volume and give coverage to parts you seek to conceal. Elegant and stylish.

Cut-Outs & Cape Blazers

There's no better time to catch up on the cut-out trend, than now. A cut-out detail on your blazers, present a perfect way to show off your edgy style and make a statement.
The key is to go for a simply tailored piece with minimal cut out detail. Just the perfect peek-a-boo for a crisp white shirt.
Cape blazers will add a Parisian and elegant accent to your office outfit. The fabric extension lends a good arm coverage.

Cinched-waist  & Low lapel Blazers

Wear a cinched-waist blazer for definition and to emphasize a snatched silhouette.
This is a great option if you have a bit of a tummy pouch(which we beautifully do have sometimes) or you have a rectangle body shape.
Low lapels are also a chic and subtle idea. They give an overlapping effect while accentuating and balancing out a small torso.

Stylist Tip; The effect of a cinched waist can be also achieved with a belt, strapped over your blazers.

Utilitarian-style & Fringe Blazers

The utilitarian style blazer is the latest take on the jacket with combat-inspired pocket details and neutral colours.
This piece will introduce utility into your work wear  and also makes a  seamlessly pairing with skirts and dress pants.
Fringe details owe more to the nineties and  than any trend! It remains a timeless accent for any piece, and a blazer doesn't fall short of the list.
