In Pakistan, no matter where you work you are always stuck in a dilemma between the comfortable, hot and looking trendy. According to Pakistani culture and society, low-cut tops and tight jeans are not acceptable in the office. Working in an environment that is not broad and is closed can make things uncomfortable. Wearing an outfit that doesn’t blend in with your office environment and makes you look like an amateur and untidy and will leave a negative impact on your co-workers. And the last thing you would want is to be the center of attention due to your graphic tee.

The most reasonable way of dressing for office in our opinion is to buy a few basic colors in trousers and pair them with different shirts this will give you a loose and comfortable dressing both from the top and bottom.

When it comes to style and makeup tips, a working woman must understand the difference between a party makeup and everyday makeup. This is a serious blunder made by many women in Pakistan; in fact, it is a style sin for many working women. The best makeup look for office is to have a clean and fresh look while using very less makeup.

Use a good base, in fact, we suggest you use a BB cream rather than a base for everyday makeup, wear a nice liner and mascara and a lip gloss or lipstick in light shades. When it comes to hair styling for office, many women overlook it. This is a very wrong thing to do. If your hairs are not done properly, it will give a very bad look. You can tie your hair in a pony or bun for work, but if you like to open your hair don’t forget to straighten or blow-dry them.

Small rings with some gemstones can glam up any attire while still maintain a professional image. But remember the most important accessory for the workplace is confidence. By keeping your own personal fashion sense appropriate for the office, you will find it very easy to maintain a tidy and positive image.
