Nothing screams average like a Tuesday. It’s not Monday with it’s weekend spill over and beginning -of-the-week stress. Nor does it have the relief of Wednesday, the beloved hump day. When time actually starts to work in our favour. It doesn’t have the excitement of Thursday which can mean an after- work night out with friends. And it is certainly not Friday, with its glorious taste of the weekend. No, its Tuesday: The Average Day.

This is actually the hardest day to pin down stylistically. Approach it as a personal exercise in style consistency. Dressing for the Average day is about spring boarding into who you want to become next. Now that you have shown your audience who you are. Start showing them who you want to be.

With The Average Tuesday appropriate  wear, Context is everything and every industry has its own dress code-some tacit , others explicit. However there is always a little leeway here and there, for you to express your individuality. Let your position and the direction you want to go be important factors in deciding how you should dress for work. Always nail the Average Tuesday. Always .

A bit of self – assessment is a great place to start.

1. How do I want to be perceived by my audience ?

2. Will I be taken seriously in this outfit?

3. Am I comfortable enough to roll up my sleeves and get to work?

4. Am I too comfortable ?

5. Will I stand out from the rest of the crowd? In a bad way?

Be sure to answer these questions carefully.

Whether you wear corporate, business casual or plain casual attire to work, the key is to keep  your look pulled together and polished. Be neat relevant and modern. Edit yourself and acknowledge the tome of the work place.

Everyone needs a dash of flair here and a splash of color there. The greater the limitations the more innovative you are forced to be. Think of it as a challege. Put together an  Avant -grade look.

I know that sometimes it seems impossible to make the Average Day shine. But once you’re looking good you’ll start feeling good and you’ll be able to come up with even more amazing ground braking ideas at work.

What you should wear for the Average work day.

Here are a few ways to give your professional look a modern edge.

1. Break  up  your suit by pairing the jacket with a black knee-length skirt.

2. Give your classic black pumps a lift with textured tights.

3. Breakout of the blazer rut and try a jacket with a different silhouette- strong shoulders, architectural or geometric tailoring, may be even  a peplum if you’re feeling flirty. Perhaps a fabulous cropped jacket. Or a traditional blazer in a non traditional fabric like sateen or a colorful check.

4. Wear distinctive yet chic jewelry

5. Do the white shirt with a twist like a ruffle , strong shoulders, or an original detail.

This Chanel ensemble ticks all the boxes with the fringe detail of the Chanel jacket giving an urban chic vibe. This is followed by the strong silhouette of the Chanel  bubble skirt. The Zara  white shirt makes a statement with the mens’ inspired button down collar. This is what real authentic style is all about and how to develop your fashion DNA.
