Choosing the right dress for the office while still paying attention to the fashion and the latest trend is a bit tricky for women. However, here are some guidelines that can help you choose the right attire.
Both men and women can get confused when choosing business attire. However, women are at more risk of choosing the wrong dress for their office. For women, the decisions to choose the right dress simply involves more variables. Women are usually more fashion conscious in their dress choices, and combining the latest fashion trends with the age, season, and office norms can go wrong in many ways.
First, women need to decide between formal and casual dress. This step is easy, however, because most offices have set rules to allow or disallow casual dressing. Second, women want to look stylish and trendy. They have to consider the latest fashion and the dress of their favorite celebrity in the latest episode of their favorite drama serial.
Casual dress can mean quite different for different women. Does that mean wearing the same dress you wore on the beach last weekend? Or does that mean quite a formal dress with a touch of casualness? It is said that the business casual is in the eyes of your boss. Observing the dress code in your office can go a long way to help you decide the right clothing for you.
Despite the fact that each office environment has its own standards regarding acceptable dress code, there are some rules that apply to most office situations. The less skin a woman shows, the better it is. Showing less skin and less cleavage keeps people’s attention to who you are, rather than how you look. Showing a full back with a prominent cleavage might be appropriate on the red carpet, but it is not usually very appreciated in an office environment. This rule also applies to your feet. Wear the shoes that show less skin, especially if you didn’t have a pedicure in the last few weeks.
If you are new to an office and still learning the dress code, start with a conservative approach and gradually adjust yourself according to the dress norms of the office.
