A Pertinent Outfit & Accessories selection– a good workplace presentation

Dress Code for Office for an Eminent Impression:

It is very necessary for every man to improve his look and personality in order to get successful in life.To have a personal style is to have a statement you want to make with your clothing. You use your body as a palette and try to make your outfit into a work of art. Thought goes into a personal style.

 There are three “you’s,” as

  •    You see yourself
  •    Others see You
  •    You want others to see You.

 The aim of an impeccable personal style should be to bring these three you’s as close together as possible.

 Believe it or not, studies have found that most hiring decisions are largely based upon a job applicant's appearance, despite interviewers denying that someone's appearance is important. Entry-level salaries are higher for those who make a better physical impression, and those who dress better at work are more likely to get promoted. The importance of being appropriately dressed is obvious. Both men and women when going for interviews should dress in clothes slightly smarter than what they would normally wear to work

A good personal style also takes into account what works for your body, especially your weight, skin tone, height and muscle tone. A stylish person cares about what flatters their skin tone, hair color and body type, regardless if it goes against what’s in fashion. To me, it shows a great ability to balance individuality with conformity, a good grasp of their body’s strengths and weaknesses, and most of all, intelligence and a strong sense of self.

 The image one tries to project is congruent with how view themselves. All of which conveys great knowledge of self and social intelligence.

WHAT TO WEAR TO WORK:

While deciding what one should wear to professions there are some factors which must be considered as follows

  •    Consider peers and clients.
  •    appear in control and professional
  •    Colour
  •    Vertical pin striped suits can work well to elongate the body
  •    Slim leg trousers are better suited to a flat shoe
  •    Make more sense for comfort and long days
  •    Go for cool clothes
  •    Choose the dress that suits your personality

Your accessories, which range from your jewelery to your perfume to your notebook or briefcase, must also be fitting for a business formal environment and should be worn or carried in good taste. Maintaining a professional image is important when fulfilling any dress code, especially a business formal dress code. The images below give you a good idea of what a formal dress code looks like and can even offer inspiration for your own business formal clothing choices.

 According to a recent Reed Employment study, 37 per cent of us prefer to work in a uniform. Even more – 85 per cent – prefer a precise dress code, as opposed to just 16 per cent who feel unaffected by their work clothes. But if a uniform's not an option, what are we supposed to do? Of course, what you should wear to work depends on what it is you do. If you work in the media, for instance, you'll probably dress very differently from if you work at a bank. So be practical."

This last step may be the most important: impractical dress can prove a considerable obstacle when it comes to getting the job done. In fact, we were expected to be active and work really long days. Comfort is obviously the key for success.

It isn't, however, only practicality that counts. Clothes' social or emotional connotations should also be considered. For men, ties can have a similar effect, making you look stuffy, trussed-up and out of touch. In fact, only 19 per cent of men choose to wear one every day. Going tieless is an easy shortcut to rejuvenating your image – something that David Cameron has demonstrated perfectly.

Other aspects of our appearance are equally important:

  •  appropriate makeup,
  •  accessories, and
  •  personal hygiene

 

complaints/ turn-offs:

  •  Dirty nails,
  •  greasy hair,
  •  too much or too little perfume
  •  unsuitable clothes
  •  daring colour dresses
  •  loose clothes
  •  Dirty hands & legs
  •  wrinkled dress

  it's important to reflect a little of your personality in what you wear. "Being well presented is crucial, but you want to put a bit of 'me' in there, too. You may have to wear a suit, but you can choose the colour. I always try to wear bright colours, and I have my signature glasses. Maintain your personality and you'll stand out – and that's how you get noticed."

 You can decide on wearing clothes having a medieval touch and can thus make your costume unique from others in an exciting way.

 COLLECTIVELY:

  • Be as attractive as you can, unless you're absolutely gorgeous, if so, don't flaunt it.
  • Don't set yourself apart, especially above your peers.
  • Always dress appropriately for the occasion and environment.
  • Opt for traditional styles, fabrics and colours unless creative flair is clearly essential.
  • Buy the most expensive clothes you can afford, even if it means less of them.
  • Don't overemphasize sex appeal.
  • Give as much thought to casual wear as to professional wear.
  • Don't try to be a trendsetter.
  • Always be clean and neat.
  • Dress as trendily and formally as the top 70 to 90% of those in your environment

 Even in a business casual work environment, clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. All seams must be finished. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive to other employees is unacceptable. Clothing that has the company logo is encouraged. Sports team, university, and fashion brand names on clothing are generally acceptable.

Conclusion:

 No dress code can cover all contingencies so employees must exert a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear to work.A person's style includes many distinct elements. Decisions concerning style should be determined by environment, the need to meet certain expectations to gain your desired result.Thus one should be able manage his/her own dress and accessories to be successful in work as well as in life.
