PICKING THE RIGHT CLOTHES FOR THE OFFICE CAN BE TRICKY AS THERE ARE RULES TO BE ADHERED TO, BUT JUST BECAUSE THE SKIMPY DRESS IS A NO, IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T INJECT SOME PERSONALITY INTO YOUR WORK CLOTHES. CHOOSE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE OUTFITS AND CHANGE THEM UP WITH A BIT OF CLASS TO SUIT THE BOARDROOM. WHO SAID YOU HAD TO DRESS BORINGLY WHEN GOING TO WORK? JAZZ UP YOUR OFFICE WEAR AND PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD WITH THE MOST STYLISH WORK CLOTHES FROM DENISE K LIFESTYLE.

If you work in an office it is important to find appropriate business attire that makes you feel comfortable and confident. The clothes you wear to work are a way to convey your professionalism and show that you belong in your work environment. Denise K Lifestyle ensures you can have the best work clothes to promote your professional image.

Over the years fashion has been evolving and formal wear styles have shifted. Working environments have changed to embrace results orientated outcomes rather than employees appearances. The days of formal suits, twin sets, silk blouses and stockings have long gone. You only need to dress modestly and neatly to promote your image.

With an eye for modern fashion Denise Jenje started designing and tailor-making clothes in 2016 while she was still in college. Her range, Denise K Lifestyle, started operating on a full time basis in 2018. They are located at 103 Livingstone Avenue in Harare and they also have an online store at www.denisek.co.zw/ shop. Denise was motivated by a desire to help people look and feel good about what they wear.

“My desire for good quality, different and affordable clothing pushed me into creating the Denise K Lifestyle brand. I was looking for clothes that I would love to wear but couldn’t find them, so I decided to take things into my own hands. It turned out that other women were also looking for the same things,” she said.

“One has to think about their body type first and see what styles complement their figure. Then the next thing is what message I am trying to communicate with my style. Is it powerful or feminine?” Denise said.

The ideal outfits for working days depend on where you spend most of your time. If you’re mostly in the office you need a lot of basic wardrobe elements that can be interchangeable and fit together to suit different occasions. If you are always working outdoors or traveling a lot, you want smart casual looks that say I am professional but I’m still comfortable and stylish.

Monday Blues will become a thing of the past with this brand’s colourful work outfits. The front slit pencil skirt and cowl neck blouse is the ultimate ‘I am in charge, and I look fabulous doing it’ outfit, no better way to start your week with confidence.

To keep the momentum, add a pop of color on Tuesday, have on, a red sheath dress with a gold button detail will absolutely win the day and assert your presence in the office. Add a white shirt under the dress for a more formal look.

Its not a myth that a collared dress gives career women a look that says I am a leader, there is no better way to show up on a Wednesday than with a collar sheath dress that has a princess line detail that highlights the woman’s figure perfectly. Pair this with a pointed court shoe and subtle jewellery to complete the look.

Thursday is almost weekend, so consider a semi-formal look that is still appropriate for the workplace like the Meghan markle two piece set from Denise K Lifestyle. The set comprises of an A-line skirt that is not too tight and a cowl neck blouse. This combo is fun and playful whilst its still fits in the corporate category.

Before you know it, its Friday you are free to be as playful as you would want and Denise chose to style it with a simple co-ord set. The great thing about this set is that it looks fashionable on any body type and it does not require further styling, its the ultimate wear and go outfit. You can also wear the shirt with jeans or the pants with a plain black top and you will have 2 new outfits, talk about investment pieces.
