10 back-to-office pieces from local fashion brands to add to your wardrobe

It was recently announced by the Singapore government that up to 75 per cent of staff can return to the workplace from this week onwards.

This means that it is time to bid farewell to snoozing just before your first morning meetings, squeezing in a nap during lunchtime or changing out of the comfy yet raggedy T-shirt you wear at home for a presentable top.

To help you make the transition out of your elastic shorts into workwear, keep scrolling for 10 shopping picks from Singaporean fashion labels to get you back in the office in style.
