The business casual dress code is to allow us to work
comfortably in the workplace. Yet, business casual dress is the standard for
this dress code to establish appropriate business relations and promote the
objectives of the company we work for. We are aware that all our casual
clothing is not suitable for the office wear, and so the clothes that reveal
too much cleavage, the back and chest, the feet and stomach or the underwear is
not appropriate for a place of business, at all.
When you feel like ignoring dandy office style because of
its masculinity and manly look, opt for the feminine alternative to that, an
office dress. Casual dresses and skirts at or below the knee are acceptable
also. When chosen appropriately subject to all provisions of the dress code and
peculiarities of your shapes and taste, you will look businesslike and feminine
at the same time.
Dresses for office wear - how to choose keys
No dress code can face all occasions so employees should apply
a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear to work. First,
office dress looks simple and laconic without any ruches, gathers, bows or low
neck and open back. The best choice is the sheath dress or a sack-dress with
simple and elegant tailoring which makes the woman of any complexion more
attractive and alluring.
The second rule when choosing for the office dress is the
color gamut. Weekdays in the office do not allow experimenting with vivid and
juicy color of clothing and you’d better leave all the pink, yellow and blue
colors behind the office door.
The red color, however, is the risky for the office dress
though there are people who suppose the red makes a woman stand out against the
grey crowd. Nevertheless, the red dress for office wear is likely to look
vulgar and inappropriate. Classic colors are perfect for the office dresses
which are simple but elegant at the same time, from pearl-grey, beige,
traditional black to the shade of mustard-yellow. The laconic brown-red is also
suitable for office attire. Summer time allows lighter shades, though.
Now come accessories. Everyone should remember that
inappropriate accessories are able to spoil the impression from the trendiest
dress and vise versa, the good accessories make you look stylish and trendy
even if you are in the plain attire.
As for the dress for office wear, the nice-looking and
elegant belt, accessories and feminine high heel shoes are good to match.
