From Boardroom to Bistro: The Rise of Transitional Fashion
In today’s fast-paced urban world, fashion must be as versatile as the professionals who wear it. Urban Priyanka—our style-savvy, career-driven persona—seeks apparel that transitions smoothly from deadline-driven days to sparkling evenings out. She values elegance, uniqueness, and ease—all qualities our luxury clothing line, Reside in Being, embodies.
What defines transitional style for someone like Priyanka?
It’s about pairing sharp silhouettes with soft statements, infusing graphic design into sleek silhouettes, and styling with purpose across multiple occasions.
"Style is about storytelling. When professionals transition from desk to dinner, they aren't just changing outfits—they're revealing layers of their identity."
Let’s explore how our pieces turn graphic clothing into practical artistry, without compromising professionalism.
Elevating Graphics: What Makes It Elegant?
Graphic clothing often sparks curiosity, but it can also signal bold individuality. For Priyanka, who spends her days in polished corporate circles and her evenings in cultured social spaces, it requires refinement. That’s where Reside in Being bridges artistic boldness with tailored sophistication.
Key features of our professional-friendly graphics:
- Minimalist design overlays in neutral tones
- Linework inspired by architectural motifs and modern Indian textures
- Placement designed to elongate form and flatter body symmetry
How to Style Graphic Clothing for Work
Here are three styling principles Priyanka swears by:
1. Balance the statement
Pair graphic tops with tailored blazers, cigarette pants, or pencil skirts to keep the look refined yet expressive.
2. Monochrome mastery
Go tonal—match print shades with solid bases for depth without distraction.
3. Smart layering
Use sleeveless vests, minimal cardigans, or scarves with geometric folds to soften bold prints.
Bullet Points:
- Choose prints with vertical alignment for elongation
- Stick to 1 statement piece per outfit
- Accessorize minimally—think studs and watches
- Opt for matte textures over shimmer in the workplace
- Embrace neutral color palettes with artistic accents
- Use heels or loafers to maintain structured silhouettes
Transforming the Look for Evening Moments
Priyanka’s evenings often include gallery walks, rooftop mixers, or client dinners. To shift the vibe, she simply swaps and stacks.
Here’s her go-to transformation checklist:
- Add statement jewelry (layered cuffs or ear climbers)
- Replace the blazer with a silk shawl or draped jacket
- Elevate shoes: slides become stilettos
- Intensify makeup—bold lip, illuminated cheekbones
- Loosen the hairstyle for a softer texture
We’ve curated a carousel series showcasing this transition—called “Office to Occasion,”—where each post illustrates a single swap that reshapes the tone while retaining your graphic centerpiece.
