Easy-to-style outfits that get you ready for work in no time

So you can sleep in for longer

by A. CHUA & Shazrina Shamsudin  /   August 30, 2021

Sleeping past your alarm is the worst—especially when you’ve got a big day at work and don’t want to look too shabby. The best solution? Minimise the time needed for dressing up with easy-to-wear pieces that still make you look professional.

These options aren’t only meant for mornings you accidentally oversleep though. If you generally want a few extra minutes of sleeping in every day, having a closet full of the right work apparel will help since it reduces the time needed to get ready. So go ahead, start scrolling to stock up on office-suitable attire that’ll cut your morning routine time in half.
