Every now and then, the desire to strut down a runway wearing the chicest of outfits awakens within us. But most of us are not genetically blessed enough to be doing so on an actual runway. For such times, we can always borrow ideas from what’s hot on the catwalk and incorporate them into our everyday work wear. Whilst a lot of institutions come with rules regarding clothing, there’s no reason one can’t cheat from time to time. Read on to find out more about how to dress like a diva, every single day.

1. Rompin’ Romper: If you want to look stylish, but are far too lazy to put together a two piece outfit, then a romper is the answer to your fashion prayers. A stellar combination of a blouse and trousers, a romper is indeed the best of both worlds as it balances itself out between casual fashion and office style perfectly.

2. Midi Magic: Ditch the usual formal skirts, and opt for a dash of colour by donning a midi skirt. Conservative yet chic, midi skirts will not only provide you with coverage appropriate for an office environment, but will also open up to you a world of fabrics and patterns.

3. Lengthy Luxe: Say goodbye to boring old formal blazers, and welcome this flowing garment into your life. A long jacket or light overcoat adds an extra edge to any outfit. Invest in this glorious cape-like garment if you want to feel regal.

4. Cool in Culottes: A (cooler) cousin of full length formal trousers, these knee-length knockouts are the cropped pants you didn’t know you needed in your life. Whether you prefer monochrome or multicoloured, these wide-legged beauties strike the perfect balance between casual clothing and office-wear.

5. Laid-back Loafers: Hassle-free and uncomplicated, all you need to do is slip into a pair of these beautifully patterned (or stunningly solid) foot-gear. Loafers come in various types: espadrilles, penny loafers, oxfords and moccasins. Choose a type which you find the most appealing, and allow your entire get-up to be transformed by a pair of shoes.

Which of these four styles will you be sporting at office? Let me know in the comments below!
