Business Attire for Women
A woman's professional business attire should be appropriate for her chosen field and her position or title within that particular industry.
|
Your professional attire wardrobe should start with a skirted suit or pants suit for
the most conservative look. A skirted suit is the most professional looking.
There are a few exceptions, but normally dresses do not offer the same
credibility as the suit, unless they are accompanied by matching jackets.
Business attire with skirts should be knee-length or slightly above or
below. Avoid extremes. A skirt more than two inches above the knee raises
eyebrows and questions and is not appropriate business attire.
Pants for
the office should break at the top of the foot or shoe. While Capri pants and
other pants that come in assorted lengths from mid-calf to ankle are the latest
trend, they are out of place in the conservative business
environment.
Blouses and sweaters provide color and variety to woman's
clothing, but they should be appealing rather than revealing. Inappropriate
necklines and waistlines can give the wrong impression to business
professionals. You do want to be taken seriously.
Women do need to wear
panty hose in the business world. Neutral or flesh-tone stockings are the best
choices. Never wear dark hose with light-colored clothing or shoes. Keep an
extra pair of stockings in your desk drawer unless the hosiery store is next
door or just down the street from the office, in case of a run.
Your
face, not your feet, should be the focal point in business so choose
conservative business shoes. A low heel shoe is more professional than flats or
high heels. In spite of current fashion trends and the sandal rage, open-toed or
backless shoes are not appropriate office attire.
Accessories and jewelry
for the professional woman is simple. One ring per hand, one earring per ear.
Accessories should reflect your personality in the business world, not diminish
your credibility.
Investing in a good business wardrobe is an investment
in your career. Business skills and experience count in the business world, but
so does personal appearance and that everlasting first impression. So, dress
well.
