Whether we like a person or not, we decide, basically, on the basis of appearance, in just half a minute. Yes, so fast. And our first impression is built on the general harmony of the image of a person: whether his suit suits him, whether the colors of his clothes fit him. This is the way all people value those around them – this is how people value you. If you want to grow from a timid intern to a sought-after specialist, you need to learn how to look to make the right impression on people.
It is known that the occupation of a person is easily determined by his suit – in the same way, the degree of success is determined by suit. If you want to succeed in your chosen business, look what your boss looks like: the perfect expensive suit, modest but expensive jewelry, only the best accessories.
Let’s make a list of what you need to look businesslike. You will need: clothes, shoes, accessories, and in addition, suitable makeup and jewelry.
Clothing:
– shirt, blouse, white or other light shade,
– knitted cardigan,
– turtleneck
– the jacket that fits the figure perfectly,
– pencil skirt – either knee-length or slightly lower,
– classic shirt dress,
– black dress case.
Footwear:
– shoes with heels not higher than 7 cm, black and light.
Accessories:
– casual bag, high-quality and roomy,
– clutch
You have already noticed that in addition to buying business clothes, this list also includes elegant classic clothes. The fact is that work consists not only of the work itself, after all, corporate meetings sometimes happen too. But during the holidays with colleagues you need to look in a special way – as a specialist. Relaxing is better in the company of old friends and close relatives.
About colors: Avoid the combination of black and white. It is interesting, stylish, but too authoritarian. It is better to replace the black color with dark brown, dark blue, dark gray, and white with silver-gray, cream, ivory. In a business style, fabrics are either plain or with an unobtrusive simple pattern – for example, a thin strip. Avoid bright and saturated tones, screaming finishes, pretentious cut lines, ruffles and ruffles.
Young professionals are shown wearing jackets with a clear shoulder line. Psychologists believe that straight shoulders add credibility and seriousness of the young lady. If you already have a status, on the contrary, it is better to look a little softer, more benevolent – and this helps knitwear and soft silk.
Need I say that office clothes are chosen as expensive as you can afford? The same applies to shoes and accessories. The cheaper your clothes and accessories look like, the less valuable a specialist you are – customers and superiors, and colleagues.
Office makeup is so light as if it’s not there. Emphasis is placed on the freshness of the face, and the eyes and lips are only outlined by makeup of natural tones — brown, beige, pinkish. Secretary with a scarlet manicure long past. The perfect manicure for a great professional is classic French.
Decorations on the business lady is always a minimum. A wedding ring, simple earrings, a thin gold chain – that’s all. If you can not do without a pendant, then let it be a small model of a geometric shape, maybe with a company logo – no zodiac signs and romantic hearts. The watches are large, resembling male models: functional, noticeable, and also quite expensive.
It may seem to you that business style is boring, that there is no zest in it. The highlight is – it is a reserved solidity, the natural charm of simple and clear lines. This is what a real expert who thinks about the needs of his client looks like. The office is a place where you come to build your career and future well-being, so you will have to forget about sexuality and romance before the end of the working day. Believe me, your colleagues, and the clientele, and most importantly, the boss, will appreciate such a serious approach to work!
