Recently I was accused of being focused only on our male customers from product as well as communication point of view. While, as of now we do not stitch garments for the ladies anywhere else other than Pune, it will be an utter disservice to the human race, if we don't include the fairer sex even in our communication. Therefore I bow down to them with full humility.
I have been advising few ladies and girls on what they should wear and not, on social media (especially Quora), mails and in person. Given this unique accusation, I faced recently, I thought of blogging something very pertinent for them. This also is a logical extension to my last post.
So I propose 10 essential articles which every working woman (of any ethnicity) should have in her wardrobe. These are the basics & absolute essentials.

1. White Cotton Shirt
 |  |
It is a must have piece because it can be teamed up with just any kind of lower, be it a skirt, denims or fitted pants.
A white shirt can be used as a beautiful accessory with a jacket (as shown in the pic above) or a waistcoat. It goes with almost all the colors as far as the rest of the ensemble is concerned. Just get a nicely fitted one & keep it ultra white and clean.

2. Flats
   |   |
Style cannot supersede comfort. A working woman has to be on her toes, figuratively as well as literally for long hours. So it is very important that the toes & legs are given due rest, comfort and care. Flats are the solution and the good news is that they are available in different styles, colors and are very very fashionable. So go for it. They should take most of the space of your footwear section
3. Black High Heels
 |   |
Having a wardrobes full of comfortable flats is not good enough. A pair of black high heels is also a must. These enhance your personality & stature and make you look very, very stylish.
Black color, like white, is neutral and can go with any other color, pattern or garment.
Heels may not be as cosy, but sometime, in order to leap high, you may have to forgo comfort...

4. Fitted Black Blazer
  |

A jacket is a very sophisticated part of a working professional's dressing. It adds a layer to the clothing and to the personality. Black color maintains neutrality. It immediately makes people take you more seriously. Women are lucky to have so many options to choose from in terms of silhouette, neck/collar style and fabric. My suggestion would be to opt for the fabric which is slightly stretchable. This ensures a better, fitted silhouette. Remember, "it isn't stylish, if it doesn't fit well."
5. Plain Black Dress
|  |
I have added few pictures on the left above to demonstrate the power of a plain black dress. It acts like a perfect base to your colorful accessories & looks classy as a standalone piece too.
Black color makes you look thinner and taller than actual.

6. Skinny Denims in Dark Color
 |   |
Dark color, well fitted denims lends definition to your legs and makes them appear thinner. Again it is a good mix-and-match piece which goes with any kind of top and shoes. A formal jacket over it, can make the whole combination a formal affair while a blouse, as shown in the pic, instantly makes it a sporty do
7. Scarves
 |  |  |
This one item is enough to add color to your ensemble and it does this in the most stylish way.
There is a huge range of scarves available in the market, right from cotton, to woolen, to silk; with exotic, western or oriental prints.
Price spectrum too is very wide and there is something available for everyone. So keep buying as many scarves as possible.

8. Watch as jewelry not as a timepiece
You can't wear too much bling in your work space if you are a professional. However a nice showy bracelet doesn't do any harm. It only brings out the feminine charm of your personality. So instead of opting for a watch AND a bracelet, it is better to combine the two. Choose the one which suits your wrist size, skin tone and the combo you have in your mind. But always buy the one which has a very small dial.
9. Statement Necklace
  | 
|
I have added multiple pictures to tell you what I mean by statement necklaces. Don't get confused between these & heavy duty diamond, gold necklaces. The latter ones are for festive, occasion wear or for parties. These pieces are meant to add color & oomph to your otherwise serious professional wardrobe. A statement necklace immediately attracts attention and in a creative way tells more about you. Few such pieces should definitely be part of your collection. These pieces can also be real icebreakers.
10. Over-sized Bag
  |   |
An over-sized bag comes very handy since there are so many things working women have to carry.
From the looks perspective, a big bag makes a women appear delicate and dainty.
If you do not have one, I think this should be your definite next purchase. These bags come in all shapes & material. Apart from being highly functional, these bags look very stylish.
