Maximum rigor
For lawyers, financiers, administration employees and other LFAP (law, finance, administration, politic) workers, the choice of clothing is limited by corporate culture. Men's suits, nude and white blouses-shirts, sheath dresses in dark shades, thin nylon tights, comfortable shoes with stable heels (no less than 3 cm and no more than 5 cm) and a bag with small handles - must have a strict business wardrobe for girls ... Acceptable accessories include a wedding ring, discreet jewelry and a classic wristwatch. Hairstyle - neat styling or bun.
Regardless of the position held, rely on high-quality cut and tailoring. Choose clothes made from silk, viscose, cotton and wool: natural fabrics always look advantageous and give comfort. If your office has a strict dress code, you should avoid mini, slits and necklines, bright prints, asymmetrical cut, knitwear, lace inserts, high-heeled pumps and large accessories.
Casual office dress code
If the company has a less conservative outlook on the appearance of employees, casual business clothing will do. Choose blouses, tops, trousers, dresses and skirts depending on the working conditions and office environment: the more formal the relationship between management and subordinates, the stricter the work suit.
Jeans combined with a cotton blouse and jacket, A-line skirts, loose-fitting dresses, knitted cardigans, fine cashmere turtlenecks, plain T-shirts, loafers, brogues and oxfords are allowed.
A scarf with a print, a bright belt or accent shoes will help to revive the casual business image. The main rule: the accessory should not be conspicuous and unduly attract attention.
Basic clothing
A distinctive feature of the business style is laconic cut and practicality to wear. Favorite colors - beige, brown, black, pastel, gray palette, blue.
Buy several office dresses in dark and light colors, from different fabrics and with different neckline variations. This will allow you to create many stylish combinations and diversify your office outfit. You can wear a sheath dress with jackets or as an independent element of the image. Check out the models from Victoria Beckham and Jason Wu.
A suit with a classic cut is appropriate in any basic color. Choose a blazer or jacket with the perfect fit: a bulging collar or horizontal fold will ruin the impression. For the cold season, a model with a classic sleeve is suitable (1 cm above the cuff of the shirt); for warm weather, 3/4 length is allowed. You can find similar models in the collections of Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and The Row.
A light cotton shirt with a placket and a pointed collar is an integral part of the signature look. An alternative is a shirt-cut blouse with a stand-up collar or a sleeveless silk top with a V-neck. Combine a similar "top" with a skirt, pants and jacket. Check out the current collections of Carolina Herrera, Donna Karan, Stella McCartney and Escada.
Office outfit does not accept:
- accentuated sexuality - transparent things, deep cuts, tight-fitting dresses and trousers, fishnet tights;
- what can cause inconvenience to other employees - jingling bracelets, long nails tapping on the keyboard, shoes with metal heels;
- provocative and flashy clothes - neon colors, animal prints, contrasting patterns, sequins, metallic sheen, shoes on a hidden platform or with rhinestones;
- items from sports and home wardrobe - synthetic tops, leggings and leggings.
Winter 2020-2021: stylish ideas
The top "top" of the cold season is a loose beige trench coat, a havelock with wide shoulders or a double-breasted coat in muted shades. They are ideally combined with high-waisted trousers, skirts and dresses made of wool, leather and satin.
An elongated or cropped oversized jacket will favorably complete an office bow with a blouse, a men's-cut shirt or a warm cashmere turtleneck. Choose from trendy double-breasted and utilitarian models in velvet or leather, sophisticated with patch pockets and epaulettes.
A plaid print on a pleated skirt paired with a monochrome sweater will revive a business outfit in winter. From shoes, short leather ankle boots with low heels or knee-high boots are suitable.
At the peak of popularity - look from fabrics of different texture in brown tones or shades of burnt caramel. Dilute the office set with an accent bag or belt, unusual shaped glasses, large necklaces or earrings.
