From Work to Weekend: How to Make Your Wardrobe Work Harder
Let’s face it — most of us don’t want to spend hours planning outfits. That’s why at Pavau, we’re all about versatility. The more ways you can wear a piece, the more value you’re getting out of it.
Here’s how to build a wardrobe that works as hard as you do — from work meetings to weekend drinks and everything in between.
Step 1: Start With a Strong Base
You can never go wrong with basics like:
-
A solid crewneck or V-neck tee
-
Slim-fit chinos or dark jeans
-
A neutral button-down shirt
These are your building blocks. From there, you can layer up or swap pieces to change the vibe without changing the whole outfit.
Step 2: Add Smart Layers
Layering = flexibility. Think overshirts, bomber jackets, or a clean knit jumper. They can take a basic outfit and add texture, contrast, and structure — plus they’re easy to adjust as the day (or weather) changes.
Want to take your office outfit to the bar? Ditch the blazer, roll the sleeves, swap the shoes. Done.
Step 3: Choose Footwear That Does Both
A minimal white sneaker can look just as sharp with trousers as it does with joggers. Stick with shoes that can flex between dressed-up and laid-back, and you won’t need a dozen pairs to keep up.
Step 4: Stick to a Cohesive Colour Palette
Neutrals don’t have to mean boring. Mixing blacks, greys, olives, and earth tones keeps things clean and cohesive. Plus, everything matches — which means less time thinking, more time doing.
Final Thoughts
The key isn’t owning more clothes — it’s owning smarter clothes. At Pavau, we design pieces that move with you, not against you. So whether you’re in work mode, chill mode, or weekend reset mode, you’ve got looks that fit the moment — and fit you.
