The 'Secretary' fashion style, often referred to as 'Secretarial' or 'Office Chic,' is a sophisticated and professional look inspired by the traditional attire of administrative professionals in corporate settings.
The Secretary style emerged in the mid-20th century as women entered the workforce in greater numbers. It was popularized in the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting the conservative dress codes of the era. The style has evolved over time, influenced by changing workplace norms and fashion trends, but maintains its core elements of professionalism and elegance.
