Layer a soft, breathable top under a structured blazer, and pair it with cotton twill trousers. Take the blazer off when the office heating kicks in. For colder cities like Delhi, add a long wool coat and a scarf you can tuck into your bag.
Cold mornings, overheated offices. Dress for both, and save this before Monday.
The one skill winter workwear needs: layering
Winter office outfits in India come down to layering without looking bundled. Start with a fitted knit or crisp blouse, then add a structured blazer. Women’s blazers for office work best in warm camel, charcoal or deep burgundy, and they let you remove a layer when the heating kicks in.
Pick a base layer that works on its own
Your base layer should be soft, breathable and good-looking once the blazer comes off. The LÉNOR Chocolate Bow Tie Ribbed Top is pure cotton, so it stays comfortable on a cold commute and in a warm office. Its side bow tie detail keeps it from looking plain under a blazer.
Choose trousers that hold their shape
Formal trousers for women in cotton twill or a soft blend hold their shape and stay comfortable through back-to-back meetings. The LÉNOR Light Mocha Flap Pants are cotton twill, fully opaque and wrinkle-resistant. They have deep pockets and an adjustable side buckle for a fit that works all day.
For a Delhi winter: add the outer layer
In Delhi NCR and other north Indian cities, add a long wool coat and a scarf. Choose a scarf light enough to fold into your bag once you’re indoors.
The winter office formula
- Base: a breathable cotton top or fitted knit
- Middle: a structured blazer in camel, charcoal or burgundy
- Bottom: cotton twill formal trousers
- Outer (for colder cities): a long wool coat and scarf
