Few Tips To Dress Up Better In Office


The best of yours is often not the result of only the hard work but also the attire and presentation that adds up to it the color that will assure the success you want to achieve. So dress play a very important role in our professional life also.


1.The standard job interviewing attire for women is a conservative dark navy or gray skirted wool blend suit. Job experts and employers seem split on the notion of pants suits, so a skirted suit is a safer choice.

2.Skirt length should be a little below the knee and never shorter than above the knee - no night club attire here. Avoid wearing a dress (unless accented with a jacket). Blouses should be cotton or silk and should be white, or some other light color. Shoes should be low-heeled.

3.Make-up should be minimal, with lipstick and nail polish conservative tones. Pantyhose should be flawless (no runs) and conservative in color. Do not have excessive body odor or cologne.

4.You should opt for a briefcase rather than a purse.

While there are no hard-and-fast rules of fashion, most style authorities agree on a few basic principles. These hold true, no matter how cheap and tacky your clothes are. In other words, these are the 5 commandments of the fashion mantra:

Always look neat and clean:
This just makes sense. Unless you’re going for the just-rolled-out-of-bed rocker look, it’s best to keep your jeans unfrayed, your shirt unstained and your shoes unscuffed.

Make sure your clothes fit:
It occurs when a woman chooses to wear a bra that is at least one size too small, resulting in cups that, well run over. Ill-fitting clothes are a fashion no-no, whether it’s pants that are too long, skirts that are too tight or jackets that are too short. Resist the temptation to forgo buying one size larger simply because it’s not the size you “usually” wear. Sizes vary from designer to designer, so stick to what lays nicely on your body. Repeat it like a mantra: Smooth lines, smooth lines, smooth lines.

Don’t overdo trends:
In an effort to look oh-so chic, you go out and buy a hat, blouse, skirt, bag and shoes-all in leopard print. Bad move. Experimenting with fads is fun, but head-to-toe isn’t the way. Similarly, don’t saturate your wardrobe with any single style or silhouette. Cargo pants are cool, but not if they’re the only kind of pants you own. Moderation is key.

Keep ultra-bright colors away from the face:
No matter what your skin tone, you won’t look good (trust us) in a neon green sweater. This doesn’t mean that you have to skip the loud hues all together. Simply incorporate bright items into your look as low on the body as possible. Remember: Florescent yellow shoes, not a fluorescent yellow top. A hot pink clutch, not a hot pink scarf. Let your face star in its own show.

Ignore lame clichés:
Chances are, you’ve heard them all: “Don’t wear white after Labor Day.” “Make sure your shoes match your bag.” “Never pair stripes with plaid.” Well, we’re here to say that it’s all a bunch of hogwash. In today’s “anything goes” fashion arena, it’s important to be creative and open to new ideas. If this means ignoring old adages and overstepping traditional bounds, so be it.

  1. It may be more appropriate for your attire in the office to include heels you can get away with low or thicker heels instead of towering stilettos that you struggle to walk in.

    1. Stilettos are for dinners, etc... definitely not suitable in the office (my personal opinion)
