Multi‑tasking wardrobe blueprint, style picks
Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025
1. The Smart‑Casual Blazer
A well‑cut blazer is your anchor piece. It gives you instant polish, whether you’re presenting at work, meeting a friend for lunch, or finishing late night edits.
Why it works hard: It bridges casual and formal effortlessly—over a tee, shirt, knit, or dress.
Fit note: Get the perfect shoulder-to-waist silhouette for your body type with Tellar (blazers lie flat, sleeves hit just where they should, no puckering).

Compatible picks:
Structured single-button for hourglass figures
Cropped or peplum styles for rectangles
Longline, open-front cuts for apples
Cropped/structured shoulder blazers to balance pear shapes
2. Elevated Crew‑Neck Tee
A soft, premium tee in Pima cotton or modal is the backbone of laid-back sophistication.
Why it shines: Layer under blazers, wear on its own with wide-leg trousers, or pair with skirts for zoom calls.
Tellar-approved brand picks: Uniqlo AIRism or COS basics.

3. Structured Wide‑Leg Trousers
These bring poise and comfort, gracefully transitioning from desk hours to dinner plans.
Why it’s versatile: Smart enough for client calls, soft enough post‑5 pm.
Styling duo: High-waist cut paired with slim or tucked tops works best.
Fit input: Consult Tellar to get waist/hip ratios precise.

4. Luxe Stretch Joggers
Ideally made in ponte or stretch twill, they combine ease with polish.
Why it multitasks: Pre-9am Pilates to post-9pm networking? Sorted.
Styling suggestion: Complement with blazers or chunky knits depending on vibe.
Sizing tip: Use Tellar to identify best rise and thigh measurements.
5. Midi Skirt – Sleek & Versatile
A structured midi (A-line or bias cut) is versatile enough for boardrooms and brunch.
Why it works: Feminine curve meets day-to-night styling.
Styling hack: Pair with slouchy knits or cropped jackets for balance.
Style reference: Again, Casual Chic Guide structures a midi skirt with fine knit and block heels

Slick slip-ons—bonus for sock detailing—that marry elegance with ease.
Why they reign: Functional and sharp, ideal for floor-to-floor days.
Tip: Carry a few coloured socks for weekday pops.
