If you were one of the many people sent home to work from your kitchen table or couch during the pandemic, there's a good chance your employer is now starting to mention timelines for a return to cubicles and conference rooms.
So, if you've been lounging in old sweats from the waist down, you'll probably have some wardrobe updating to do. You don't have to give up the level of comfort you've grown accustomed to in order to look your professional best. Invest in some key pieces, and your return to the office will be a bit more bearable.
Cotton: This is a breathable fabric appropriate for all temperatures, but especially suited for summer weather.
Silk: You'll feel like you are in pajamas, but you will need to follow careful care instructions for this fabric.
Spandex: Clothes with 1-3% will have a little stretch. You can maintain this as long as you hand-wash or use the delicate cycle.
Dress shirts : Button-downs in solid colors, neutrals or classic patterns like stripes and gingham.
Pants: Khaki or cotton material for most days, and a pair of jeans if you are allowed a "casual Friday."
You may turn some heads with this figure-flattering pair of pants. These will look sharp with a blouse tucked into them. The variety of patterns will add interest without being overwhelming.
Pictures: Alia Bhatt and Ananya Panday show you how to style one Dior bag three different ways |
First introduced in 1999 on Dior's spring/summer 2000 runway, the saddle bag was designed by John Galliano, the fashion house’s creative director at the time. The equestrian-inspired bag took the fashion world by storm, and every icon from Beyoncé to Paris Hilton was seen sporting it.
It’s been two decades since its emergence, and the saddle bag has not lost its charm. With everything from the early aughts becoming all the rage now—from summer camp accessories to low-waist jeans—the mini shoulder bag trend was bound to come back too. And it did, loud and proud, with the saddle bag at the forefront of the movement.
Come 2018, Maria Grazia Chiuri re-introduced the saddle bag in several iterations in Dior’s autumn/winter 2018 collection, explaining that "the saddle bag is one of those emblematic pieces that always manages to remain contemporary". The piece has now become a street-style staple, and has been spotted on supermodels, It-girls and Bollywood’s best dressed women too. Scroll to see how Alia Bhatt, Pooja Hegde and others have styled the go-to piece.
Alia Bhatt has been spotted with the Dior saddle bag on several occasions. While one occasion saw her carrying it on-flight with a white tank top, beige joggers and a printed Péro jacket , a lunch outing in 2019 had her pair the iconic bag with a floral summer dress and denim jacket. Both times, the star let her statement bag stand out by skipping on any other bold accessories.
Ananya Panday is never short on playful casual outfits. Recently, the 25-year-old proved the versatility of the monogrammed Dior saddle bag by pairing it with a striking pink tie-dye sweatshirt to create a fun print-on-print look. Unlike Bhatt, however, Panday took the ‘more is more’ route and topped off the ensemble with pearl-studded heart-shaped earrings and Gen-Z approved holographic sneakers.
During a visit to Vienna, Pooja Hegde showed her fans an all-new way to carry off the Dior saddle bag by wearing it fanny pack style instead of slinging it over her shoulder. To give her look a streamlined finish, the star paired the navy number with neutral winter-ready separates, standing tall in a warm ivory turtleneck, skin-tight jeans and white knee-high boots.
It may be an It-bag, but that doesn’t mean that the Dior saddle has to be reserved for special occasions only. Just ask Khushi Kapoor , who carried it along with her while heading for a workout in the city. The 20-year-old let the bag play the hero of her look by sticking with all-black separates.
Whether you wear it with fail-safe staples or a fun printed ensemble, there’s no going wrong with a statement accessory like the Dior saddle bag. Below, find separates that will help you recreate your favourite look.

Batman Can't Perform Oral Sex on Catwoman Because 'Heroes Don't Do That,' According to DC - AskMen
On the wild world of the Internet, where “fandoms” rule the web, we’ve been able to read and occasionally see all kinds of lust-filled, erotic scenarios involving our favorite caped crusaders for years, but fans have long wanted a more adult aspect to the official versions of their beloved comics.
When HBO Max announced that it was green lighting an R-rated Harley Quinn animated show for the streaming service, we thought that day had finally arrived.
The powers that be at DC weren’t having it, however. Show creators Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker dished to Variety , “in this third season of Harley we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’ They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’ So, we said, ‘Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?’ They were like, ‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’”
First off, this is a bad look for DC, which, frankly, can’t afford too many missteps after their string of catastrophic box office flops. We get that Batman is a dark, brooding man with a chip on his shoulder, but that is absolutely no excuse to be selfish in bed.

Stan TV show Eden: Cody Fern on confidence, the precipice and being told he 'wasn't Australian
Ironic, considering what he just said that gave him pause was about confidence – “I don’t have a problem with confidence”, he declared in an assured manner only seconds earlier.
But he knew how that sounded. He quickly corrected, “I don’t mean that in an arrogant way at all, it’s not about arrogance.”
Fern, 32, has enough to be confident about, having come home from LA after an insanely busy couple of years in the US, bouncing from role to role on American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace , House of Cards and then two seasons of American Horror Story , Apocalypse and 1984 .
Now, the WA-born actor was on the set of Eden , a new Australian drama filmed just outside of Byron Bay, sitting next to co-star BeBe Bettencourt.
His remark about confidence didn’t come out of nowhere, he had just been asked about being in prolific TV producer Ryan Murphy’s repertory of actors, which sees him sharing screen time with the likes of Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates.
He’s also worked with disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, on the final season of House of Cards before Spacey was sacked and his scenes cut – “I worked with Kevin Spacey for months, saw what he was like on set, so there’s that train wreck, you know? But that’s a whole different story, that’s for the memoir”.
“Whatever that meant,” he said. “I’m like, ‘well, I’m born and raised here, so which boxes do I not tick for you?’. And that was my struggle for a long time in Australia, and it really pissed me off.
“That can warp you because you what happens is you start to say, ‘I can’t do this or I’m not good enough or this is never going to be allowed’. So, you have to find a way to shut out all the noise and be focused on what you want to achieve, and you can’t let that go.
“Whatever slings and arrows are along the way, you have to have the confidence to shake that off and say ‘no’. Because you get to LA or when you’re working with somebody like Ryan Murphy, they don’t have time for you to be insecure.
