Photographer Joe Lai takes us to the best part of our working day: lunch break. Packing out that bento box, sharing the office’s newest gossip and having a laugh with the colleagues – the way we spend that valuable time right after noon hasn’t changed much since school. That’s also a reason why our editorial resembles that good old schoolyard situation. Suits, trenchcoats and classic white blouses paired with comfy trainers and flat boots radiate a work attire that is ambitious but also values that well-deserved free time.
