Another key piece of clothing when it comes to business attire is a well-tailored pant. The keyword here to focus on is: Tailored. There are a wide variety of styles to choose from, straight leg to wide-leg from low cut to high cut. Make sure you tailor your pants to the right fit. Your pants should not be too tight or too loose but stick to tailored pants with a crease. Also, make sure that your pants are clean well ironed, and not filled with wrinkles. When it comes to colors, neutral hues, such as black, navy, and grey are ideal.
Pencil Skirts or Business Dress
Nothing says I’m the boss like a pencil skirt. It is a great alternative to a tailored pant. The key thing to take into consideration is the length of the skirt. If you sit in a chair and expose too much thigh with your legs crossed (or uncrossed), your skirt is too short. The professional length skirt shouldn’t hit higher than the knee. The same rule goes for business dresses. The length should be taken into account.
Blouse and shirt:
When it comes to blouses and shirts always try to wear something that is less revealing. Make sure that your top is not see-through and is a tailored fit for you. Your top shouldn’t be too tight that it makes you feel uncomfortable. You can style your top by wearing different colors or differently designed blouses. Make sure your colors aren’t too vivid or bright as you want to set a professional tone. A well buttoned-up shirt is also a perfect choice when it comes to tops. They come in various materials and also designs. Try to choose at least a white or a black shirt as it goes with pretty much anything.
Business Footwear:
When it comes to business footwear you want to look chic and be comfortable in what you’re wearing. Classic pumps are always a safe bet, especially when the heel is moderate in height. Closed-toed pumps in a color that compliments your outfit are best. Always try to create an even tone throughout your outfits. Try to stay away from high heels or flat-soled shoes. You want to wear something that makes you feel comfortable throughout your workday.
