Fashion Tips for Working Women

If you are huge fan of wearing the skirt then go for the skirt made from wool or velvet.

Working women have so much to take care of, to think of and to decide for. In a day we take a whole range of assorted decisions- domestic, conjugal, maternal and professional. Besides choosing dress for our loved ones, we are also responsible to decide our own semiotics – at home and at office. One can expect support and genuine comment from the family (e,g, from the souse and in-laws), but the same cannot be expected

to come so easily from office friends. We are aware of the fact that our semiotics reflects our personality.  When you are a professional, all you look for is present yourself as a professional. In such a situation, the dress that you are wearing should reflect your professional integrity. A trendy or teen-cut might make you look cute, but that would fall short of providing you the professional attitude that you yearn for while working behind the desk. Being loaded with modern or traditional jewelries might not look professional.  However, it does not mean that professional is plain and bland. No matter what age group you belong to, no matter how bulky or skinny you are, you can style yourself the best with these top of the hat guidelines.

Colour: Colour!  Colour! Colour! Black (chic), grey (conservative), red (aggressive), and navy (trustworthy). These work well with the professional wear. You can go with soft colours like blue, pink, and ivory for the feminine touch with the mix of black. 

Jewels : If you are a huge fan of jewels than go for stud earrings or single bracelets, but don’t overdo it. You don’t want to make yourself look overdone.

Fit : Custom-made dress plays an important role to bring the best in your semiotics. Tailored dress is best when fitting to physique is the concern. But, yes please do pay attention that it fits properly and that the inner-wear borderlines are not visible on the out. Skirt should be loose enough to sit and jacket should have ample space to be buttoned when necessary. 

Labels : Designers label are great but NO! NO! in official wear . Stick to customized and tailored dresses. Save your branded dresses for rendezvous with friends. Dress worn by reason and seasons makes you look good. Winter season is at the door step. Winter is cruel to your skin and to your body temperature. With a promise to take care of your skin in winter in the coming edition, let’s discuss how to save yourself from the chill and yet remain fabulous. The layer or the outing of your dresses is the most important aspect in winter-dressing. Here are some tip-offs to select some outer clothes for the cruel winter seasons.

• Choose colours that harmonize with your skin tones

• If you are huge fan of wearing the skirt then go for the skirt made from wool or velvet which will keep you warm and will go with the season. 

• Stocking and coats are always in. Coat will go with the pants as well as skirt. 

• You can always layer yourself with the scarf, gloves but wearing hats or anything on head seems unprofessional. 

• Don’t get over-sold on synthetic materials

Here are some additional tips to select a coat for the winter that will match your body type: 

1.  Coat for taller look:  Try a women’s coat that hits no lower than an inch above your knee to elongate your leg line. 

2. Coat for creating curves:  Try a belted coat. Belts will cinch in the waist, creating a feminine hourglass shape. 

3. For anti-top-heavy look, consider a single-breasted coat. 

4. For anti-bottom-heavy, try an A-line coat. 

5. If you have broad shoulders or a large bust, look for a coat with a V-neck.

Looking fashionable and remaining sensible is important. This is possible when you have the right sense of styling yourself. Before choosing any dress, consider knowing your body shape, your skin tone and your aptitude for fashion. Knowledge of these basics help in transforming to a fashionable woman.

In all first meetings, whether it is casual or business, a person’s looks play a large part in forming the initial impression. This goes far beyond just clothing and includes grooming and unconscious body language. Impressions formed by the first few glances of a person impact thoughts about their personality, diligence and intelligence. First impressions tend to last a while and can be hard to shake off. When it comes to work and business, it definitely pays to find out about the company’s culture and dress code and determine how people at your level dress. A tip for dressing for job interviews is to dress as one would for a client meeting: a little more formally than day-to-day business wear. This will help project an attitude of confidence and professionalism.

While talking about the corporate dress or the business dress, according to my view, white shirt with black coat and pant suites the most for boys and for girls, white shirt with black coat and short skirts touching the knee will be the best if there

is not especial dress code in the office.

• Clothing should be neat, smart and subtle. This also applies to hairstyle and perfume. Do not let your employers be sidetracked by showy apparel.

• In the corporate world, hairstyles should be chosen to be well-groomed and tidy.

• I think, simple but formal look help you to give impression in corporate world. Any visible piercings should be removed and we have to cover any tattoos when we are in the work.

• Clothing should be laundered and ironed. Always make sure that it fits properly and that adjustments are not needed when sitting, walking or leaning over.

 Wearing dress is not only enough. We should wear neat clothes with well ironed

and that catch the mind of the people positively. They should say she is very good officers who is energetic and well

managed. Dressing shows our energy as well. If we wear dirty dress and no ironed at all then people will say that she is very lazy and how can such lazy people work at office? To be a potential staff our energy, our courtesy and our dress up carry the great points.
