Many of us would have started heading back to the office, now that the Singapore government has eased workplace restrictions. Unfortunately, this means that we’ll have to ditch loungewear for more presentable and office-appropriate outfits. Buh-bye for now, cozy cami and co-ord sets.
No idea what stylish workwear looks like anymore? Check out these style inspirations from Korean celebs – including Son Ye-jin, Blackpink’s Jisoo and Suzy Bae – for two week’s worth of office outfits.
Whether she’s playing Yoon Se-ri in Crash Landing On You (2019) or living her best life with Hyun Bin, Son Ye-jin always serves up chic looks that are easy to style. You can easily recreate the look with a black top (which you’ll likely already own) and a tulle skirt. We chose understated diamond studs and a pendant necklace to bling up the simple outfit pairing.

Last seen in Private Lives (2020) opposite actor Go Kyung-pyo, singer-actress Seohyun’s style can be described as polished and feminine. Take this monochromatic pink outfit here that plays with varying textures. If fuchsia is too attention-grabbing for you, we recommend going with blush pink instead with a blazer, halter neck satin dress, handbag and slip-on mules. Your outfit for Wednesday is settled.
Joy from girl group Red Velvet is astute at dressing comfortably and stylishly. Here, she lets her pastel-coloured bag and shoes be the star of the outfit while going neutral with an olive and khaki blouse and skirt combo.
Owing to her model background, actress Lee Sung-kyung always knows how to pull off stunning looks that don’t look overdone or difficult to execute. To recreate this look, pick up a pink tweed dress and accessorise with drop earrings, an heirloom watch and black sandals.
