Simple
Rules for Office Dressing
Lately, I watched
‘Devil Wears Prada’ and was immensely pleased. The film very aptly
captured the plight of many working women who were in constant
dilemma of choosing fashion over comfort in work places. I was one
of them till I discovered some simple rules for office dressing.
Profession Profile
A lot of
the way you dress to office depends on what your professional
profile is. For instance, bankers dress differently from copy
writers. A lot of points are factored into dressing for a particular
profile. For instance, banks are a conservative environment where
bankers are constantly interfacing with existing or prospective
clients. And while the flirty blouse may gel in well with the
creative setting of a media house or an advertising agency, it isn’t
quite the prescribed dress code for a banker.
Designation
Sometimes
it pays to pay heed to the position you hold in an office. This is
particularly true in a corporate office. You wouldn’t want some
casual dress you wore to office the other day to challenge your
authority, would you? Some studies reveal that women who dress
casually to office are in a greater risk of having their competence
or authority challenged.
Location
The place
you work in is also an important aspect to consider while dressing.
What is appropriate in the US may not be so in Europe. The same can
be applicable to Europe Vs Asia. Therefore, while skirts may be
acceptable in US and Europe, it may not be so in the Gulf countries.
Having
said that, for most working women of the ‘Western’ world the
following do’s and don’ts can come handy. As a thumb rule, avoid
clothes that you would wear to the beach, dance clubs, exercise
sessions, sports contests etc. Also, ensure that your attire does
not reveal too much cleavage, your back, or midriff.
Now, let’s
narrow down to specific clothing that is a safe bet in most
professional environs.
Slacks
and Pants
I think
slacks and pants are the most accepted clothing. You could wear
cotton, wool, flannel or synthetic pants. However, make sure that
you avoid jeans, sweat pants, exercise pants, Bermuda shorts and the
likes to a corporate house.
Skirts
and Dresses
While
wearing skirts to office, mind the length. Make sure the length of
the skirt or the dress is not too much above the knee. Also, avoid
feminine flirty cuts, rather opt for straight cuts.
Shirts
and Blouses
You can
team your pants and skirts with shirts or blouses. Casual shirts,
golf shirts or even sweaters and turtlenecks are generally the norm.
However, take care to avoid halter-tops or spaghetti strapped tops.
Business Suits
While you
can mix and match your blouses with your pants and skirts, you also
have the option of business suits. Many corporations require their
employees to be always dressed in a jacket. For them, business suits
are God sent.
Of course,
then there are some rules that cut across continents. For instance,
avoid dirty, torn or crinkled clothes. Similarly, do not sport
clothes that have words or pictures that are offensive to others.
