It’s hot and humid in the morning as we commute to our offices, so of course we’d dress for that, right? But boy, the minute we step into the office, it’s as though a thousand air conditioners are blasting at you.
After my very first week at a desk job, I realised the importance of keeping a few necessities within reach – the office would after all, be your second home. So lip balm, a mug, utensils, a plate… and most definitely a sweater. There’s no denying how cold it gets in the office and what more when it rains?
So if you realised you have a little bit more cash to spare, invest in a sweater just for your office. More specifically, invest in a lightweight, easily styled sweater so that you won’t feel too hot, you can easily match it with any other outfit and you can use it out of the office too.
