Transitioning from Work to Weekend with Caterpillar

Living in this fast-paced world, we often find that balancing day-to-day life can become challenging. From work obligations, to after hour commitments, and everything in between, it’s all about finding ways to save time. And believe it or not, this includes your wardrobe!

In this blog, we will delve into some tips on how to combat this busy lifestyle and seamlessly transition from work to weekend!

1. Comfort

The most important rule when it comes to your wardrobe, is ensuring that you have ample options that look good and are comfortable. After all, there is nothing worse than dealing with a chafing collar all day, or footwear that pinch your feet.

2. Versatility

The key to a good wardrobe, is ensuring that all your pieces work together. We understand how easy it is to impulsively buy those exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces, however, if it’s not matching many of the items you already own, the odds of you wearing it is quite low.
Versatility in your outfits allows you to easily mix and match items, making it perfect for a quick change in between commitments.

3. Durability

Ever heard the saying quality over quantity? Well, when it comes to your wardrobe, this is yet another helpful tip!

Creating a wardrobe that easily mixes and matches items, probably means that you may be wearing certain items more than others. This is especially true for footwear. Hence, investing in durable footwear will ensure that you don’t have to replace them frequently.

Wardrobe Must Haves

Now that you’ve got a strategy to help make your busy schedule that much easier, it’s time to pick out some staple pieces that can be dressed up and down!

For the gents, you can never go wrong with a polo shirt. It’s casual enough to still be comfortable for regular day-to-day events, but when tucked into chino pants, and paired with a blazer, it’s a smart dressy outfit. The foundation knit jersey by Cat Apparel is a good option.

For our ladies with an edgy style, the Kylie boot by Cat Footwear is ideal for a busy workday with its breathable fabric lining, foam cushioning on the midsole and pro-biotic odour control. Additionally, the trendy design of the chunky outsole means that it would work perfectly for an edgy, grunge look. 

Don’t underestimate the power of a good, plain white tee. Tucked into some trousers, paired with a blazer, and simple elegant jewellery, and you’ve got a sophisticated look. Meeting up with friends after work? Ditch the blazer and switch it out for a denim jacket, and you are good to go.

Not much of a boot fan, but looking for footwear that works for both formal and casual wear? Then the Oly 2.0 in the colour beaned is a great choice. This clean, minimalist design would work well with trousers, chinos, and even jeans! Pair it with a button-up shirt, or even a smart t-shirt, and you’ve got a look that perfectly transitions from work to weekend.

Keep in mind, that the goal behind curating a wardrobe with versatile pieces, is to ensure that you can find items that work well together with ease. However, this does not mean sticking strictly to neutrals. If that is not your style, then pick a colour palette that you love, and work with that!

Always keep comfort a priority. Why? Because when you feel good, you look good, and that’s the key to sustaining your busy lifestyle and breaking new ground!
