Often, people are confused about what attire is acceptable for business networking, meetings, interview, and other events. In order to make a good and lasting impression on clients and potential business partners, it's paramount to dress appropriately. It goes without saying that professionals have to dress to impress, as there is a belief that first impressions last.
It's also vital for women to know how to dress appropriately to compete in the business world. Corporate attire for women should be conservative, feminine, and well-fitted. For women to dress to impress, women must consider this guide:
TAILORED CLOTHING
Tailored clothing always look professional. Investing in several pieces of interchangeable tailored outfits is more worth it than purchasing many poor quality pieces.
PANTS & SUITS
Pants are also acceptable corporate attire fore women. Tailored pants with a crease is more ideal than jeans and denim. It is best to choose colours such as black, blue, and brown. As much as possible, no tight pants, and see to it that your pants are ironed and wrinkle-free.
DRESSES & SKIRTS
Skirts are still preferred for women in the corporate world. The right material, colour, and length of the skirt are important. Mini skirts and tight skirts should be avoided. It should be well fitted and on-the-knee, or a little below the knee.
SWEATERS & SHIRTS
The rule of thumb for selecting a blouse is: it should not be too baggy or too tight, and it should "cover up". It's important that cleavage is not visible. Blouses must coordinate with the rest of your outfit and be well-fitted. A silk or cotton blouse with a simple collar will do. Button-up shirts topped with button-down jackets are also great combinations.
SHOES
Pick a colour that compliments your outfit. Never wear stilettos at business meetings, interviews, or presentations. Heels must not be higher than 1 1/2 inches. See to it that your shoes are well polished and the heels are intact. Also, do not wear open toed shoes.
STOCKINGS
If you like to wear stockings, remember that contrasting colour, printed, and opaque stockings do not appear professional. You will never go wrong with black, brown, gray, and skin tone stockings.
PERFUME & JEWELRIES
Jewelry should always be simple. If you have body piercing, remember that one on each ear is appropriate. Anything beyond that oftentimes does not convey professionalism. Also, you should avoid dangling and hoop earrings. Do not wear more than one watch, two finger rings, and one bracelet. When you want to wear perfume, make sure the fragrant is light and not offensive.
HAIR & MAKE UP
Make up should be subtle. If you are wearing heavy lip make up, keep you eye make up bare or light. On the other hand, when you are wearing hevy eye make up, keep you lip make up bare or light. Hair should be tied up neatly. If you prefer to wear your hair down, make sure it's still neat and does not obscure your eyes in any way. If you like to style your hair, make sure it is simple and formal.
