Hyrule's Hottest Styles: Surviving the Office Dungeon in Style!

The Great Fashion Question: To Dress or Not to Dress?

Hylians fellow adventurers! Princess Zelda here reporting from the sartorial front lines. Summer in Hyrule – or as you might call it the 'real world' – can be trickier than navigating the Lost Woods at night. One minute you're battling the heat of Death Mountain the next you're shivering in an air conditioned office that feels like the Ice Cavern. The question is how do we maintain our royal composure and style while avoiding a wardrobe malfunction worthy of a Cucco attack? Fear not for I've consulted with stylish allies across the land—or you know read a CNBC article—to bring you the latest intel.

The Fashion Worker's Wisdom: It's Dangerous to Go Alone Take This Blazer!

Winston Jones a fashion forward hero from New York champions confidence and personal style. His motto? Dress for yourself not for Ganon! He's all about Bermuda shorts crocheted tops (airy as a fairy's wing!) and high waisted trousers. His secret weapon? eBay! He sniped a Ralph Lauren suit for under 100 Rupees (er dollars). A true bargain worthy of Beedle himself. And his office fashion hot take? Fisherman sandals with socks are apparently an 'old Italian grandfather vibe.' I'm intrigued… perhaps Link could pull that off after a long day of monster slaying?

HR's 'Whimsical' Wardrobe: Does This Outfit Spark Joy?

Alayna a wise sage from HR in Sacramento asks the crucial question: 'Would you feel comfortable talking to an executive in what you're wearing?' It's less about donning a 'businesswoman costume' and more about feeling confident enough to face the big bosses – kind of like facing Ganondorf but with better lighting. Her summer uniform includes structured vests colorful slacks and twirly dresses. A dress she declares is a 'cheat code' – a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse after spending countless hours in a dress myself. Embrace whimsy she advises! Introduce fun colors and patterns to classic silhouettes. After all who says HR can't rock a pair of edgy Dr. Martens loafers?

Corporate Goth: A Style Darker than the Bottom of a Well

Dominique Bird a sales sorceress from Austin proves that corporate goth is more than just a Halloween costume. Inspired by social media she embraces chunky boots bold makeup chains and rings. Her philosophy? 'When you show up as yourself you show up stronger.' It’s like equipping the Master Sword – suddenly imposter syndrome doesn’t stand a chance! Her summer office uniform: a black midi dress Mary Janes and a belt with gold chains. I must admit that sounds fiercer than a Lynel in a bad mood.

Denim Obsession: More Versatile Than a Hookshot!

Melissa Pereira a luxury beauty guru from Linden is a denim devotee. Before the Great Calamity (aka COVID) denim was forbidden in her office. Now? It's a free for all! She's rocking long denim jorts (yes you read that right) and faux leather jorts with mules or flats. And her stance on shorts in the office? A resounding 'yea!' (as long as they're knee length or lower and paired with a cardigan or button up). She also touts the power of blue light glasses. A practical accessory indeed! After all even a princess needs to protect her eyes from staring at ancient Sheikah texts all day.

Dressing from Day to Night: Transform Like Sheik!

Kiera Patterson an advertising whiz from New York masters the art of 'day to night' dressing. She seeks out pieces that can transition seamlessly from the office to… well wherever adventures may lead! Jumpsuits summer dresses and white linen pants are her go to. And because she uses a wheelchair she prioritizes fit opting for styles that are fitted at the top and looser at the bottom. It's a form of showing who you are she says – a sentiment I can certainly relate to after centuries of strategic wardrobe choices.
