Gone are the pandemic days when workwear meant cozy pieces and uber-casual items. As we fully embrace the world again, people are stepping out and going to offices wearing their most inspired ‘fits. And the memo also hit many of the world’s leading design houses. Elevated work looks were seen in the international runways, from Prada and Loewe to Bally and more, each presenting chic reimaginations of suit ensembles, luxe tailoring, and the perfect accessories to jazz up any corporate attire.
Indeed, work meets play in the latest “core” in fashion, the Corpcore. And if you want to turn your very own office into your runway, here are some fresh releases that will put a new twist on the office staples you have in your wardrobe.
Arm candies
Corporate wear, for many, centers on tailoring and monochromatic hues. The best way to add personality to the mix is through look-at-me bags. Think of Furla 1927 Rosso Veneziano in red for a pop of color. Something graphic is Jimmy Choo’s Avenue Quad featuring the house’s striking angular patchworks motif. While Burberry brings back its Rocking Horse tote made from suede with leather top handles, which are perfect for people on the go.
In the Philippines, Furla, Jimmy Choo, and Burberry are exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph and @ssilifeph on Instagram and Facebook for more information.
Versatile timepieces
One way to add a sense of luxury to any corporate look is by donning the right timepiece. Longines’ Mini DolceVita is a tiny piece that packs a lot of charm. It features a rectangular 21.50mm x 29.00mm stainless steel case framed by 38 IF-VVS Top Wesselton diamonds. For the gents, Seven Friday’s P Series Black Leather Analog Automatic Watch, inspired by the bank vaults of the Industrial Revolution, complements any tailored look. Also to check out is Tudor’s latest Royal range presenting radial-brushed salmon and chocolate brown dials.
Seven Friday pieces are available at Segnatempo in Okada Manila, Meridian in Glorietta 4 and Newport Mall, Watch Republic in SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia, inside Rustan’s Department Store in Shangri-la Plaza, and at the recently opened Meridian boutique in Greenhills Mall.
Timeless eyewear
Eyewear is a must to complete your Corpcore look. Go for something timeless and chic, much like the pieces from Tord Ford’s 2023 eyewear collection. Designed for everyday wear in diverse circumstances, Tom Ford's accessories seamlessly blend style and practicality. Crafted from non-toxic and hypoallergenic materials, the collection prioritizes safety for the face and eyes, showcasing its commitment as a practitioner and traditionalist who avoids experiments on clients.
