Fashion Tips to Show You Mean Business

24 May Fashion Tips to Show You Mean Business

Fashion is kind of my thing. My blog is called a ‘Girl In A Dress’ after-all. As a woman I know, dressing your part for work can be a difficult task. Whether it is business casual or business professional, you always want to make sure you dress in a way that shows you are serious about your career. Yes, hard work and a friendly, competitive attitude will aid you in getting that big promotion, but if you really want to step up your game, then you need to step up your overall appearance. Here are some styling tips that will help you give an even better impression at your office.

Hem your pants. When it comes to dress pants, you should never be able to wear the same pants with your flats as you wear with your heels. That is a major fashion sin. If your dress pants are not tailored correctly to your body, then they can look very sloppy, especially if they are too short or if they are dragging on the ground. If you are wearing flats, your pants should cover most of your shoe. If you are wearing heels, the hem of your dress pants should be about a half inch off of the ground in the back.

Get a button-up shirt that fits you. Nothing can ruin your image more than wearing a button-up shirt that is way too small or way too large and shows off all of your undergarments. If you have a larger chest, then buy a button-up shirt that is big enough to reach all the way across your chest without any gaping exposure. Take your shirt to the tailor to have it sized just right.

If your belt loops are showing, you should wear a belt. A lot of woman feel that they are excused from wearing belts for their pants, especially if they fit nice and snug. This is so NOT the case. This rule is nice and simple: if you are wearing pants with belt loops and your shirt is tucked in, then you should wear a belt. The belt does not have to be used for keeping your pants up, but it should be used for visual purposes. Exposed, empty belt holes will make you look careless and even forgetful.

DO NOT overdo the accessories. You may think that this is an obvious tip, but a lot of people break this rule on a daily basis without even realizing it. All of your earrings, rings, and necklaces should be as simple as possible, especially if you work in professional fields such as banking or real estate.

Other Important Tips to Follow:

• Buy yourself a good pair of shoes.
• Keep a good manicure at all times.
• Make sure your hair is dry when you walk into the office.
• Don’t put on too much perform.
• Always brighten up your eyes.
