Some mornings, choosing what to wear to work feels like an unnecessary task. You know you want to look polished, you know comfort matters, and you definitely do not want to stand in front of your wardrobe for twenty minutes before leaving.
The easiest solution is not owning more clothes. It is like having a few reliable outfit formulas in different silhouettes.
For an Indian work wardrobe, that could mean a kurta set one day, a printed kurta the next, a shirt when you want something more structured and a co-ord when you are tired of traditional workwear. Lakshita’s current collections make that mix particularly easy, with options across kurtas, kurtis, tunics, shirts, co-ords and suit sets.
Here are nine outfits to keep on standby for those “I don't want to think about this today” mornings.
1. The Kurta Set That Gets Monday Done
Start the week with an outfit that requires almost no decision-making. The Shayeri Olive Kurta Set has a soft olive shade, an A-line silhouette and monochrome embroidery that keeps the look refined without feeling too formal.
Since the set already includes the coordinated bottom, there is no colour-matching involved. Add small earrings, a watch and comfortable flats. A structured tote is enough to finish the look.
The cotton-blend fabric and relaxed palazzo bottoms also make it practical for a long day at work. Lakshita currently categorises the Shayeri as Office Wear.
2. A Printed Straight Kurta for a Regular Workday
There are days when you want colour but not a complicated outfit. The Khas Orange Kurta works well for exactly that.
Its Bandhani-inspired print brings character to the outfit, while the straight silhouette keeps it firmly in everyday territory. Pair it with beige or ivory straight trousers and simple flats.
The neckline has dori embroidery with subtle sequin and zari details, so the jewellery can stay minimal. Small hoops or studs and a watch are more than enough.
The result is colourful without looking like you dressed specifically for a festive occasion.
3. A Kurti for the Busy Day
A kurti is particularly useful when you want something lighter than a complete set. The Bani Maroon Kurti has an all-over printed panel design, a collar neckline and a front-open placket that gives it a slightly more structured appearance.
Wear it with straight black or beige trousers and pointed flats. The curved hem creates a little movement, while the maroon shade keeps the overall outfit grounded.
This is also one of those pieces that can move easily from a normal office day to an after-work coffee without needing a complete outfit change. Lakshita lists it specifically under Office Wear.
4. An A-line Kurta When You Want More Shape
An A-line kurta changes the feel of a work outfit without making it difficult to style.
The Intira Yellow Kurta has a flowy A-line shape, a Mandarin collar and a high-low hem. The yellow brings some brightness into an otherwise predictable work wardrobe, while the embroidery around the neckline and sleeves adds detail.
Style it with ivory straight pants and understated accessories. Because the colour already has plenty of presence, neutral footwear works best.
This is particularly nice for a day when your calendar is full but you don't want your outfit to feel as serious as your schedule.
5. A Tunic for a Change from Kurtas
If your work wardrobe is starting to feel like a collection of kurtas, switch to a tunic.
The Aarohi Navy Blue Tunic has an A-line silhouette with a soft peplum flare, a V-neckline and an adjustable drawstring waist. The cotton fabric and printed design make it a more relaxed option.
For the office, pair it with tailored beige or cream trousers rather than leggings. Add small earrings, a structured handbag and flats to give the outfit a cleaner finish.
It is a simple change, but visually it gives your workwear rotation a completely different direction.
6. A Co-ord Set When You Want Zero Styling
A co-ord is probably the closest thing to a shortcut in your wardrobe.
The Tara Coffee Brown Co-ord Set combines a printed top with straight trousers, so the outfit is already coordinated before you even open your accessories drawer. The collar neckline gives it a slightly sharper feel, while the coffee-brown colour keeps it office-friendly.
Add minimal jewellery, sleek flats and a structured handbag. Nothing else is really necessary.
Lakshita currently lists this Tara set as Office Wear, with straight-fit trousers, pockets and an elasticated waistband — small details that make sense when you are sitting at a desk for most of the day.
7. A Shirt for a More Structured Look
Not every office outfit has to look traditionally ethnic.
The Kissa Pink Shirt brings a softer interpretation of formal dressing. It has a Mandarin collar, front button placket, princess-panel pin-tucks and subtle Resham embroidery with applique detailing.
Pair it with off-white tailored trousers for a clean contrast. Add pointed flats or low heels and a structured handbag.
The blush pink shade keeps the shirt feminine without making it feel overly delicate, while the tailored details give it enough structure for a meeting-heavy day. Lakshita categorises it as Office Wear.
8. A Suit Set for the Day That Actually Matters
Keep one slightly more traditional option for presentations, important meetings or days when you simply want a little more polish.
The Falguni Blue Suit Set combines a printed A-line kurta, straight pants and a matching cotton dupatta. The blue palette keeps the outfit calm, while the embroidery and subtle sequin detailing add interest around the neckline and sleeves.
For the office, wear the dupatta neatly over one shoulder rather than creating a complicated drape. Finish with small earrings, a watch and comfortable block heels.
The breathable cotton cambric makes this a practical choice when you want a complete Indian outfit without feeling weighed down.
9. A Dress for the Day You Want to Break the Pattern
Every office wardrobe benefits from one outfit that is not a kurta, set or trouser combination.
The Bella Light Grey Dress offers exactly that change. Its A-line shape, Mandarin collar and soft viscose-muslin fabric make it an easy one-piece option. The tropical print adds colour, while the grey base keeps the overall look softer.
For a workplace, keep the accessories structured: a clean handbag, simple earrings and closed-toe flats or low heels. If your office has a more formal dress code, a lightweight blazer can sharpen the look further.
It is worth noting that Lakshita describes this particular dress for casual outings and gatherings rather than specifically as office wear, so the styling should be adapted to your workplace dress code.
A Work Wardrobe Should Make Mornings Easier
The point of having office outfits ready is not to make every workday look completely different. It is to have enough variety that you do not feel like you are wearing the same silhouette on repeat.
A kurta set handles the rushed morning. A straight kurta works when you want something familiar. A kurti or tunic changes the proportions. A shirt gives you a more structured option, while a co-ord takes care of the days when you cannot be bothered to coordinate anything.
And then there is the suit set and the dress — two pieces that can break the routine when the usual workwear starts feeling predictable.
With these nine categories in rotation, getting dressed for work becomes less about making a new decision every morning and more about knowing which outfit fits the day.
