Formal skirts are all about élan and style. After a shirt tucked inside a formal trouser, the next best thing to get a power-packed board-room look is a formal skirt paired with a formal shirt or a top. Wearing a formal skirt the right way ensures that you look gorgeous yet professional at the same time. Here are a few tips that you should remember when you wear a formal skirt to office.
Iron It Before You Wear: Wearing a crumpled, wrinkled skirt to office may not only ruin your look, but may also look unprofessional. How you dress yourself up every day says a lot about the person you are. Wearing stained, creased skirts to office might make you look like someone who neither pays attention to details nor cares about the office decorum. Imagine if any of your clients come to office and you meet them wearing a shabby skirt. Leaves a bad impression, right? So, wear a clean and ironed skirt to office.
Fabric: Formal skirts are available in a few fabrics such as cotton, scuba, polyester, silk, laced etc. Choose a fabric according to the weather, its suitability to your skin and your comfort level while wearing it. Skirts made using fabrics other than cotton and silk tend to get scrunched up as you sit and stand several times a day. This means you might need to keep checking your skirt time and again. So, choose a fabric keeping all these factors in mind.
Fit of The Skirt: It is advisable to not wear a skirt which is too tight or too loose. Choose your skirt according to your body-type. If you have a slim figure, wear a skirt which has a margin of at least an inch so that a tight skirt does not make you look way too skinny. Similarly, if you are plump, choose a skirt which helps conceal bulges. The best way here is to wear a skirt which you are comfortable in. There should not be any need to adjust your skirt every now and then.
Colour Combination: Both soft pastel and bright shades are suitable colours as far as professional attire must be chosen. Contrast colours work best. Do not wear a bright or light-coloured skirt with a top of the same colour. You may also choose patterned formal skirts along with a solid-coloured top. Fashion experts also advise to choose colours that suit your complexion well.
Length Of The Skirt: Well! This could be a touchy topic for many. The length of a woman’s skirt is not a sign of her character or disposition; but there’s no harm in dressing according to workplace decorum. A skirt too revealing might make others judge you as frivolous and someone who is out of sync with standard corporate environment. One more point to consider here is the mode of transport that you use every day. If you travel to work by public transport, especially in India, prefer wearing knee-length formal skirts to avoid unwanted ogling.
