A new Monday, and you are walking into your office, confident and composed. Heads are subtly turning towards you, not because you are overdressed, but because of everything about your look. The sleek wristwatch, the understated cufflinks. The overall look whispers effortless style. You're not just wearing clothes; you have thought of precision and attention to detail.

There is no complicated fashion formula to follow to get a perfect office look. In fact, it’s far simpler and more exciting than you might think. While dress codes may box you in with limited clothing options, there's an underrated hero in your wardrobe- the accessories.

From timeless watches to minimal jewellery, and even the finer elements like belt buckles or eyeglasses, the right accessories can elevate your professional look from predictable to powerful. In this blog, we’re diving into how to master the art of accessorising with stylish eyeglasses for work, because making a great impression doesn’t stop at your outfit.

Glasses: Must-Have for Your Office Wardrobe

Glasses: Must-Have for Your Office Wardrobe

If there is one accessory that you can’t miss out on while dressing up for your workplace, it has to be a pair of glasses. It is the fine details where the magic happens, and glasses are all about fine details.

But what makes up an ideal pair of glasses for the workplace? Well, all you need to ensure is that they fit well with the dress code. Here are the best glasses styles for different types of dress codes for your workplace.

Simplicity Speaks in Business Formal

Simplicity Speaks in Business Formal

When it comes to the formal element, business professionals are a step down from business formal, but they still lie towards the traditional end. The kinds of dresses worn remain more or less the same, with more flexibility in the patterns and colours as compared to business formal.

Also, chunky accessories are noticeable. Apply this rule to your glasses, and you are good to go. Here are the styles that are perfect contenders!

Simple, sleek, and smart, the fantastic combination of timeless metal frames with retro round glasses is your go-to style here. Another style that needs a mention here is the contrasting tortoiseshell frames. A styling tip would be to opt for conventional patterns with shades of brown and amber.

Business Casual Done the Cool Way

Business Casual Done the Cool Way

If your office dress code is business casual, your options widen, both in terms of clothing and accessories. Since you have the room to bring in a casual touch, you no longer have to rely on things like suits, skirt suits, ties, and stockings, which have high formal elements.

However, professionalism needs to be maintained simultaneously. An example of business casual attire for men would be tucked-in shirts with trousers, whereas women can wear dresses like skirts, cardigans, and slacks.

Well, what about your specs? Whatever the occasion, pilots will always display a classic appeal. Basic styles such as round and rectangular, in thick chunky acetate frames, will impart a sincere and confident look, something that you certainly need in a professional setup.

Casual Looks to Keep It Effortlessly Stylish

Casual Looks That Keep It Effortless

A casual office dress code is just like your everyday style. The focus is more on comfort and leisure, with an extensive range of options to choose from. Casual office attire is the simplest to pull off and also the simplest to select. Men can go from crisp shirts to polo t-shirts, to even plain round tees. Women can style tops and blouses with skirts that are funkier. And the options definitely don’t end here!

To make a bold fashion statement with your glasses, you need to be looking for easy-going styles that have traces of playful elements. Going by the trends, square oversized glasses frames in acetate material are a perfect companion here. If you are someone who likes contemporary stuff, nothing can complement your casual style better than transparent frames.
