Getting Back to the Office in Style
Rumor has it that the government’s new policy is up 75% of the workforce back at their desks. That means it’s time to ditch the “snooze button” from your alarm and those epic coffee‑sipping power naps at lunch. Prepare to trade those stretchy shorts for suits that actually look like you mean it.
Why You’re Going to Love Going Back
- Better networking opportunities – no more Zoom‑buddies in your own slippers.
- Greater focus on work vs. work-from-home distractions.
- Fresh coffee that isn’t brewed from your pantry.
10 Singaporean Fashion Must‑Haves for a Smooth Return
- The “Monday Motivation” Blazer – a lightweight, charcoal‑grey piece that sneaks in structure without a solid feel.
- Silk‑Ripped Trousers – pull on these and instantly feel like a runway model, not a “just‑woke‑up” entrepreneur.
- Monochrome Pocket Tees – because a base‑layer that matches your short can be surprisingly chic.
- The “Open‑Air” Lightweight Hoodie – ideal for that hallway walk‑in before your critical meeting.
- Jackett‑in‑a‑Jacket – for crisp nightout vibes after a bustling workday.
- Structured Denim Jackets – gives you the comfortable look while still keeping it office‑ready.
- Vertically Striped Shorts – value the mix between a “casual” and an “executive” vibe.
- Plain‑V Neck Sweaters – a quick and easy way to dress up a plain white shirt.
- Standard “Black Tie” Pleats – a timeless move for a great introduction to clients.
- Smart‑fit Cotton T‑Shirts – soft, breathable, and can be worn beneath a blazer or as an “all relaxed” top.
Whether you’re coming back to the office or mobility is a personal target, you’re sure to look refreshed and ready to re‑claim those office hours. Good luck, stylists; this new adventure will be a fashion statement for you and your Singapore teammates!

10. Daw skirt, $289 from Stolen
Outfit Spotlight: The Wild, Tiered Crepe Skirt
Why this skirt gets a spot‑lighting cue:
- Lightweight Crepe – feels like a soft breeze, perfect for the office or a brunch date.
