Dressing right can be a bother for some yet for others it comes as second nature. If you are one of those who just is not so sure about how to go about it well here are a few things you should keep in mind. After all, it is necessary you come across as a strong person at your work place. It’s extremely important that you look you best especially if it’s a new work place that you are at. All the same, check these few tips out.
It’s important to learn the mix-match of colors and patterns to get a good effect. When it comes to your shirt and tie try to get them working for you by having them in the same shade. When it comes to matching of patterns the basic rule is to have them in different scales. Paul Tee at Command Recruitments has this to offer. He says that your tie should have the larger pattern than the shirt. That is the way it looks best. That’s about patterns in its simplest form but it is important to keep the ‘palette small. This advice is from most fashion designers. If you are working in a conservative office it is even more important other wise you will stand out like a raw carrot. Stick to pinstripes and small checks in the more formal office environments.
A few words with regards to accessories which is a must in all power dressing. It is best to keep it down sized and not over do it. You could be the head of a department but that does not mean you flash a big diamond tie clip. So remember to keep it toned down. Yes, a good belt is a must so is a nice watch. When it comes to rings keep it down to your wedding ring and maybe a good high quality signet ring at the max.
Do make sure you are wearing well fitted clothes. With tailoring becoming ever so expensive, you possibly need to buy ready made. Make sure you try them on and insure they fit you well. Most top brands are machine cut and do not always fit every one to the tee. So look around for the brand that gives you the best fit. A suits sleeve length should finish at your wrist bone and as for the length of your trouser, the basic is that the back crease should not break.
