Blazer and Shawl for Daily Appearance
Estikoma – Account Director of Fortune Indonesia
How important is appearance in your job?
Appearance reflects the spirit of the day. If the outfit looks lazy, it shows what is going on in the morning. In other words, outfit is the mood booster in the morning. About appearance and work, we surely must look polite and dress up to suit the situation, although sometimes people want to show their characters through their appearance. But I think the most important thing is to feel comfortable because it can boost one’s confidence.
What is your most prefered dressing style?
I love wearing jeans and a T-shirt because it is convenient. As I get older, I choose to look neat. I still wear jeans and T-shirt but I also wear a blazer over it. I think what can instantly make us look neat are shoes and blazer.
Who inspires your clothing style?
I actually get inspiration from no one or no where. I am among those who are somewhat conventional. I observe the trend, but I am quite picky because I adjust my outfit to my personality. For example, when floral tights were in, I looked into my personality and asked myself if such clothes fit me. If it didn’t, I would not buy the clothes.
What are your favorite must-wear accessories?
In the last few years, I have liked shawls. Actually, the reason why I often wear shawls is to avoid cold (while draping a shawl around her neck). Casual clothing can turn to neat when coupled with a shawl.
Is there a certain time to buy clothes and where is your favorite place to buy clothes?
If I see nice clothes while strolling around, I’ll buy them. I haven’t hunted clothes abroad. I do not provide specific budget either. I buy clothes when I am already running out of clothes. Several years ago I loved shopping at a coworker’s boutique. But since we don’t work at the same office anymore, now I buy clothes at the mall.
What words can describe you?
Easy-going and stylish hehehe…
