No thanks to the lack of choices when it comes to formal wear, many of us fashion-conscious youngsters find dressing up for work a chore. How does one even transition from the workplace to girls’ night out in a stuffy collared blouse and movement-restricting pencil skirt?!
Monochrome officewear belongs in the 1970s, when workers had to blend in with everyone else. Good news is, we’re no longer confined to boring ol’ black-and-white – G2000 has reinvented office wear with these 5 styles that will get you psyched for work every day:
Hello, sunshine! Stand out from a sea of drab and give yourself a more fun-loving, approachable vibe with cheery pastel pieces. Don’t be afraid to use fun colours like pink or yellow – since you’re picking softer versions of the colours, there’ll be an illusion of simplicity that won’t get you written up for being OTT.
Not into bright colours? Avoid morphing into an office uncle or auntie by adding some texture to a B&W outfit – simple prints can provide a cool edge, and lace details always make ladies look extra lovely.
In-your-face sunset gradients were all the rage a while back. But to keep things appropriate for the workplace, try some understated gradients instead – such as a darker blouse with a lighter bottom of same colour, or perhaps a shirt with subtly different-hued panels.

Just ‘cause you’re out in the adult world doesn’t mean your dressing has to be uninspired – pick one bright statement piece to jazz up an otherwise plain getup, and show some personality. Throwing on a vest or blazer will retain a tinge of formality.
If you want to look put-together without appearing too serious, switch out the black for navy blue. Further break the severity of your look by adding subtle accents in light colours – a white belt or shoes would do the trick.
Dressing for formal events no longer equates to looking boring thanks to G2000’s new Fall Collection. Once thought of as a serious office wear brand, they’ve now undergone a makeover to produce fun, stylish threads fit for the modern millennial – appropriate enough for work, but also cool enough for casual outings. Deck yourself out in their versatile pieces, and get out of that fashion rut, pronto!
