 A business casual setting or work environment.

Getting dressed for the office doesn’t have to be hard work. You don’t have to leave your personal style behind just to look professional in front of your boss. Your goal is to project a professional and confident image of yourself, regardless of your career level.

There are many ways to make an impression in meetings – asking insightful questions, taking notes or just being friendly. But a quick and easy way to make yourself stand-out from your co-workers is how you look.

What you wear to work matters a lot when it comes to displaying a public image. If you are working for a large multinational company, you probably want to look as professional as possible. 

From business attire to casual wear, it’s important to look your best when you go to work. After all, it’s a major reflection of your character and what you represent as an employee. 

Whether it’s fair or not, you’d be surprised how much your appearance can play a role in how business associates view you. Showing up with wrinkled clothing and out-of-place hair can have an unwelcome effect on your career. This applies to both men and women.

Tips for Business style and corporates dressing -

1. Make sure your clothes fit - If your clothes are too big or too small, they are not going to look good. 

2. Wear glasses that fit - Make sure your glasses fit properly and aren't sliding down your nose.

3. Make sure your shoes are polished and in good condition.

4. Clothes that are too flashy can be distracting and the visual equivalent of shouting.

5. Accessories are meant to complement your outfit, not overpower it. So don't over accessorise.

6. For women in the business world, overdressing is always your best bet. Dressing professionally — even when meeting with clients who are dressed casually — can inspire assurance in your abilities. Even consider classy wear on casual Fridays.

7. We only wear about 20-30 percent of the clothing in our closets. When shopping for clothes, buy entire outfits instead of random separates. This will prevent you from having a closet of orphaned clothing, and it will make dressing for work much easier.

8. Is there a woman in your industry whose style you admire? Take note of her outfits and don’t be afraid to reach out to her for advice. Many women are more than happy to share their fashion tips and tricks. And you should be willing to do the same if an up-and-comer reaches out to you for the same advice.
