Business Attire Decoded

Editor: Priyanka Saxena on Jul 18,2017

Business attire can be tricky to master, but it is not impossible. Some of the best ideas come from your first instincts. The rule of thumb should always be: If you have to question it, you shouldn’t wear it. The age old dilemma of what to wear to work arises more often than not. It is actually a problem that can be easily resolved.

Girls, if you’re working at a corporate office it should be easy to find out what you can and cannot wear in your employee handbook. The employee handbook acts as a guide to your attire! In fact, every office has one of these. They should all have a section that explains the dress code. This is a great guideline. If you want to wear open-toed shoes, you should pair them with a skinny slack. Skinny slacks are best when paired with a loose blouse. If you don’t have the time or energy to grab that curling iron, don’t worry, a simple ponytail or bun will save you a ton of time and is actually the more appropriate choice!

Guys, you’re more of a simple group. You have a few great pairs of slacks and a handful of appropriate shirts. Our suggestion to you would be to make sure you have a shirt of every color. This way, you will create the illusion that your wardrobe is bigger than it actually is without actually filling up an entire closet. Pick up a pair of your favorite shoes in black and brown. This is probably the easiest wardrobe ever.

What you wear to your job rests solely on you. You have a choice, of course. Adhere to your boss’ rules. Business attire doesn’t have to be boring. We’re quite sure you would agree!
