1. No matter what your age
your business attire should be as professional as possible. Avoid
clothes that are the latest fad and choose a more conservative look.
2. Wear clothes that are comfortable, that do not itch, ride up
or bind. If your clothes are irritating, having to tug, pull or
scratch is not something you will want to do in public. Dress to
suit your personality while keeping in mind professional standards.
When you feel comfortable you will feel more at ease and will be
able to attend to business.
3. Your blouse should fit well. Be sure it is the correct size,
is not taut and does not gap.
4. Keep your hemline conservative, about one to two inches above
the knee. This length is not only more attractive but a length
that suits most women.
5. Keep your business clothes clean and well pressed. If they
should get stained have them cleaned immediately.
6. Avoid fashion fads in business. Do not wear flashy jewelry
or jewelry than makes a clanging noise when you move.
7. Pinstripes are a classic business look and look best when the
pinstripes are thin and widely spaced. Avoid thick stripes that
are close together – this is a trendier look and not appropriate
for business.
8. When attending business functions keep business cards in your
pocket for easy access. This will allow you to present your card
easily without having to search through handbags and briefcases.
Remove the cards at the end of the day and keep them in a cardholder
to ensure they stay in great shape.
9. Do not over fill your briefcase or handbag and create a disorganized
look. To carry files and business materials invest in a stylish,
feminine looking bag.
10. If you have an important meeting choose (and try on) the clothes
you plan to wear beforehand. Finding that what you intended to wear
is not what you expected could make you late or uncomfortable.
