Formal Dress for Women – Looking Stylish at the Office
Dress formally the right way and you can project a stylish look, that will help you get the job or promotion you crave or close an important business deal.
In work it’s so important because your look can actually make or lose you money, so you need to look your best, so here are some tip tips to make sure you knock them dead.
Getting dressed for the office doesn’t mean you can’t follow fashion look stylish or develop a personalized style.
Your aim is to project a professional, competent and dynamic appearance – You mean business is the impression you are trying to create and can handle the job at hand
The style colors and fit of your clothes choices will reflect in the way other people view your ability to do your job. Below we have outlined some basic tips on how you can maximize your appearance.
1. Fit
Trousers need to be fitted and free of visible panty lines. Skirts, especially straight styles i.e. pencil skirts, should be loose enough to sit down in comfortably and not excessively tight. Clothes need to fit so be aware of size and dress within it
Jackets should to be buttoned and blouses shouldn’t have gaps between buttonholes.
2. Traditional career colors include navy (trustworthy), grey (conservative) and black (chic & conservative) be careful of red especially in sales, it can be seen as aggressive and confrontational especially by other women.
Most of these colors work well in trousers, skirts and shoes and you can mix black with softer colorslike light blue, lilac, pink and stone.
Loud colors like bright pink and wild prints are more risky so be careful if you want to mix these in
3. Jewelry that jangles (hoop earrings and stacks of bangles that will indicate you are coming) are no, no. GO for minimal jewellery stud earrings or single bracelets and a nice watch.
4. Slouchy handbags look unprofessional and sloppy. Instead choose structured styles that project an organized and efficient image with sharp lines.
With other accessories don’t neglect them! Everything about you needs to project cleanliness and efficiency.
Manicured nails, run-free hose, clean polished shoes, styled hair. Make sure that everything creates the right look down to the smallest detail.
Looks never to worn to the office include:
6. Sexy clothes – Avoid – See-through garments, miniskirts, really high stilettos, designer labels and to much leather.
7. Clothes should fit correctly and avoid: wrinkled clothing, too many layers and baggy-fit clothing.
Dressing for the office is all about striking a balance between looking good stylish and also looking competent, organized and ready for business.
You can still look sexy in a subtle way, but the look is subtle and not in your face – That is the biggest mistake of all when dressing for the office.
Follow the above tips and get ready to knock them dead!
A great look will help you get ahead in your career and hopefully it will speed you along the career path you desire.

business casual Clothes Help?
In the summer I will be doing a college conference thing where I need to dress in business formal, and business casual wear. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for cheap or easy to put together outfits. I am a girl, 15 years old. Thanks!
Find a cute a-line skirt in a solid color (an inch or so past knee length), pair with a simple white blouse (or layer a thin white tshirt under a light sweater/shrug/cardigan in a bright jewel tone). Or combine a nice bright shirt/blouse with a black a-line skirt. You could also do the above but instead of a skirt wear some dressy black or grey pants. Also, skip the heels, conferences mean a lot of standing around and you’ll be more comfortable in some dressy ballet flats, you should never where sandals to a professional events like this until you can afford regular salon pedis.
Finally finish off your look with a some basic jewellery, like a nice gold or silver pendant.
