From desk to dinner: how to wear Japan TKY from day to night
December is filled with celebrations, dinners and gatherings, which can make it challenging to choose an outfit that works both for a professional workday and a festive evening. To avoid outfit stress Japan TKY created a practical guide that helps you transform your daytime look into an elegant evening outfit. With the right essentials and simple styling tips you can travel light and step from the office straight into any event with ease.
The foundation for outfits that transition from day to dinner
A strong desk to dinner outfit is all about simplicity and flexibility. You want to feel comfortable and polished during the day without needing to change completely later on. The right foundation pieces make all the difference. Below you will find four essentials that help you create a festive look with only minimal adjustments.
Trousers as a timeless and comfortable base
A tailored trouser is a stylish starting point that remains comfortable throughout the day. The trousers by Japan TKY are ideal for long workdays thanks to their soft and flattering travel fabric. Pair them with your favourite cardigan or a matching blazer during the day. For the evening simply switch to a top with a refined touch such as the Tankuya blouse with delicate transparency. For a more formal setting the satin Zofi blazer adds instant sophistication. By changing only your top you can elevate your outfit with ease.
Our favourite trousers for a versatile base are Machy, Daryo, Nika and Gujo.

Black blazer as a versatile key item
A black blazer is an essential piece during the festive season. Wear it during the day with matching trousers or a skirt. In the evening switch to a more eye catching piece such as the Kona Long Velvet trouser which adds depth and richness to your look.
If you prefer skirts or dresses the satin Koiny model is an elegant choice. Finish the look with a belt around the waist to create a refined silhouette.

Dress or jumpsuit as an effortless day to night solution
A dress or jumpsuit is one of the easiest options for transitioning from day to night. Often a simple change of shoes is enough to transform the whole look. Pumps or glitter ballerinas instantly create a festive mood.
Layering also works beautifully. During the day wear your dress or jumpsuit with a knit or vest for warmth and comfort. In the evening replace it with a blazer to elevate the outfit. For a striking statement wear the dress or jumpsuit on its own to highlight the silhouette.

Blouse as a quick and stylish choice
A blouse is ideal for anyone who wants to travel light. Pair it with a blazer or vest during the day for a professional appearance. In the evening simply open the blazer or swap it for another layer to create a more festive feel. Even a sleeveless blouse works well thanks to the option of layering. This way you are always prepared for every occasion.
