Our Top 5 EMMA Picks for Office Wear
Do you want to rock your office outfits?
It’s not always pleasant to leave the warmth of your bed to go to work, but going in style always makes it better! Here are our top 5 EMMA picks for your office outfits:
Valerie
Whether you’re rocking off-white, grey, black, beige, or any other nude color to work, Valerie is your go-to office-wear hijab. It has a formal combination of colors, yet the red border gives it an edge. You can wear it with a whole lot of outfits if you style them correctly.
Hazel Elegance
Hazel Elegance is a one-color-fits-all scarf that can go well with any office outfit you think of. You can also wear it on plenty of occasions, and it’ll make the outfit pop.
A casual office gathering? Yes. A regular day at work? Yes. A formal meeting with the CEO? Yes.
You can style it with a multitude of colors, and its neutral shade looks good on all skin tones.
Signé Mink
If your office has a formal dress code, Signe Mink should be a part of your wardrobe. It features a light mink shade that you can wear with most colors on the spectrum. On top of that, its color fades to white on the other side, making it versatile and a more edgy alternative to white scarves.
River Flow
River Flow features a gentle color palette with hues of grey, olive green, and pink scattered throughout. It’s a versatile hijab that’s formal enough for office wear. On top of that, its versatile color complements a number of skin tones.
It has a black border, which makes it look equally good on fair-skinned girls.
Turath in Modal
Turath is one of EMMA’s global bestsellers, and it’s easy to see why. Its captivating pattern in red, white, and black is incredibly catchy. It’s inspired by folkloric patterns in Egypt, Palestine, and other Middle Eastern countries, which explains why it’s such a unique scarf.
For formal wear, Turath makes a great pop of color yet maintains a low-key color palette that doesn’t stand out. You can explore more of the same hijab style on our modal prints collection page.
