Abstract This study evaluates the application of ergonomic principles and anatomical zoning in the design of women's office wear to enhance comfort and reduce pressure-related discomfort. The research addresses the limitations of conventional office garments, which often prioritize aesthetics over functionality and wearer comfort. An exploratory research design was adopted using literature review, questionnaire surveys, observational studies, anthropometric measurements, garment development, and wear-trial evaluation. Data collected from working women identified key discomfort areas, including the thigh, waist, bust, and hip regions. Based on these findings, ergonomically designed garments incorporating anatomical zoning, movement accommodation, pressure-reduction features, and appropriate fabric selection were developed. Four prototypes—a bamboo peplum top, spandex side-slit skirt, reversible waistcoat, and ergonomic blazer—were evaluated through user feedback and wear trials. The results indicated improved movement flexibility, enhanced comfort, reduced pressure accumulation, and positive user acceptance. The study concludes that integrating ergonomic principles and anatomical zoning into office wear design can significantly improve wearer comfort while maintaining professional aesthetics, contributing to the development of functional and user-centered apparel.
