Basic Bisch

Like every other basic bisch in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, I like to choose comfort over couture (most of the time).

And despite most of us returning to work, working from home is the new norm, pushing business or corporate attire aside for the athleisure, luxe loungewear, smart casual, and what I like to call basic bisch.

These trends are more relevant than before, as we’re opting for more comfortable alternatives to the stuffy, rigid and structured corporate pieces we’re used to wearing 🙅🏼‍♀️

However, this does NOT mean we have to choose comfort OVER chic. We do NOT have to sacrifice structure, designer, fashionable, and timeless pieces for comfortable yet ugly (or should I say aesthetically displeasing). Comfortable clothing can also be functional, stylish and uber chic 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

This means you can utilise existing pieces from your current wardrobe, and experiment and haveeeee some fun 🤩

I suggest you grab your active shorts with an oversized blazer. Throw on some ankle boots and a pair of statement shades. For a structured and utilitarian look, think metallics, embellished buttons and chunky accents to finish off you look.

Wear a pair of lounge pants with a fitted tee and chunky slides, (think the waffle pant and ugly sandals vibe) Half tuck your tee or knot at the back to add some edge and flare🕺

Pull on a slinky silk shift with a cashmere sweater belted over the top. Add your favourite ankle boot and a blazer, for a more feminine touch.

Keep your eye out for an oversized boxy shacket (shirt / jacket) in a neutral tone or muted hue. Pair with a straight jean, fitted tee and chunky accessories. Nothing says I work from home, and I just don’t care like this little number 🙋🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

And, when all else fails, grab a pair of sports leggings, a white tee, a bucket hat, Reebok trainers and a cross body bag, to really say I’m a basic bisch 😂 This is the easiest, most comfortable and uber chic ensemble you can throw on, even if it’s wash week 💁🏼‍♀️
