How to be the most well-dressed of the office

Having style means simply dressing properly. Each work environment requires a different work outfit. Find yours and be the most well-dressed of all.

There was a time when you were going for work with something less than a suit, it was unacceptable. If you were going with a fabric pants your colleagues would think you were sick. But the times have changed and now what impresses bosses and colleagues is to see a common yet appropriate styling - imagine how rare the phenomenon is. From the most typical workplaces, like your neighborhood’s bookstore, to giant companies, casual Friday tends to become every day.

There are also some limits considering the way you prefer to get dressed to go to work. If your workplace is a little loose regarding to the dress-code, it does not mean you can show up with a damaged pair of jeans, a pair of dirty sneakers, with messy hair, and bad breath. We have to set up a combination for every workplace, or the occasion at work that will make us feel comfortable wearing them all day but to keep the styling standards up too.

Traditional business

If your job is in a bank, in a law firm, jobs and in general, in a place you get in touch with customers, his general rule is that you have to wear a suit. It is an overall feeling that the employee is groomed - and that is something intangible resulting from the details, from the wicked shirt, from the knot to the tie. It is not a pleasure to see a cashier in the bank with a loose tie of the tie, as a barman would wear it.

As for the suit, we recommend avoiding the black, as it looks too formal. Dark gray or blue are better choices. Combine it with one of the common herreskjorter. If you choose a white shirt, nothing can go wrong, but the blue or one with stripes are good alternatives too. For your tie, remember a single simple rule: it should not be too fancy and intense. You are not 18 years old so you are not allowed a tie with cartoons on it.After you decide on the basics stuff, you can now focus on the details: it will be strange to pick up your leg and your Garfield socks to reveal. The way your hands and nails are looking is too important too .Do not forget that a good professional office bag is essential.

Casual work places

If your job is in a creative office, a production company, something that involves with the media, the retail, the arts and the music industry, you do not have to wear a suit. It will have the exact opposite effect. You have to take care of the way you look for but you do not have to be officially dressed. If you are overdressed, some may doubt about your intelligence. What is the perfect combination for these work places though? First of all, you have to avoid wearing jeans. Gray, black and beige cotton trousers combined with a shirt and casual jacket or woolen jacket will be acceptable in most cases. If you want to wear a tie you can do it, probably with a sweater with V on top. Considering to the shoes, you sure have more choices than man who wears a suit, but do forget the sneakers as an option. Generally, try to stay unique to your style by adopting a tidy version of it, because if you do not have a lot of confidence, doing something that does not express you will make you feel uncomfortable. Better to wear clothes that you feel good about, so you do not have that anxiety in your mind too. But even if you’re dressing choices are correct, this does not guarantee that you will be the best regarding to your look among all the others: Dressing comes second in front of the physical characteristics. Bad body scent, the smell of breathing cigarette, unspoiled hair, dandruff etc. they are even worse than a bad dress because they cause physical repulsion.

Extra tips of your look you have to follow

Clock: If you say you have a good relationship with time, you are organized and respect the deadlines. We do not mean your grandfather's gold watch. You need something distinctive that does not attract attention.

Jewelry: strictly nothing else than the watch. Even cufflinks can be considered extravagant. Of course you'll take out the earring.

Belt: you do not want to stand out and draw attention. Choose one in the same shade with your pants.
