Desk to Drinks

Let’s face it - for most of us, majority of our time is spent in the office.  With this being the case, you want to feel cute and confident, while still sporting an appropriate outfit for the environment you’re in. However, what happens when your friends call you to meet up for after work drinks and you have no time to go home and freshen up your outfit?  It might sound like a fashion disaster, but don’t worry — we’re here to prove it’s anything but!

We get it: comfort is key, especially when you’re transitioning from a full day at the desk to a night out at a bar or restaurant. You could always consider bringing a change of clothes to work, but why do that when you can easily transform the same outfit?  By mixing and matching key wardrobe staples, you can effortlessly create a look that works from 9 to wine. 

Before we dive into our top picks for desk-to-drinks outfits, here are a few of our favourite tips:

• Don’t be afraid to explore with colour.
• Use accessories to your advantage.
• Get those heels out.
• A spritz of perfume can get you a long way.
• Focus on fabric.

Below we have a range of styles which we feel can be transformed at any moment of the day, for any occasion.  Between, dresses, tops, pants, and jumpsuits, we have you covered.

The Power of Versatility

When it comes to versatility, nothing beats a well tailored jumpsuit or a little black dress. Both offer a classic yet chic look, perfect for work attire and for your evening plans. With the right styling, they transition seamlessly from professional to playful. Both can be paired with a cute flat during the day, and a stiletto at night. Add some sparkling earrings when you head to those drinks and immediately turn that look to glamorous.

Styles That Work Overtime

Another inspiring look that goes from day to night is the most beloved print: floral! This print is elegant yet sophisticated and can easily be dressed up with some glitzy heels and a statement handbag. The flowy fabric delicately frames the body and creates a gentle feminine aesthetic that is perfect for day-to-night. The colours add a pop of bold colour to your look and can be an excellent inspiration for the accessories colours.

Elevated Essentials 

If you’re looking to switch it up, why not take a look at bold colours? We know that bright colours can change our mood and make our days happier and funnier. At night, those colours can be the soul of the party and make you feel glamorous and attractive. If you prefer a neutral colour palettes, you can opt for a monotone look with a black sequin top and skirt. Sometimes the simplest outfit can make the most significant statement, especially with some pretty accessories.
