The clothes that we wear would
definitely speak volumes on our personality.
Not to mention the fact that it can also have a huge impact on our
capability to achieve success in our chosen careers. Working in a business environment nowadays
would also entail following a specific dress code. If you are new to the world of being employed
and would want to elicit the right impression, check out the following basic
wardrobe must-haves.
Two Suits
For starters, you should have at least
two suits coupled with a skirt or pants and then anything suitable for the
top. These pairs will serve as your primary
business wardrobe. See to it that they
have compatible colors so you can just interchange the tops and bottoms with
ease. You can also buy a knit top or any blouse with the same color tone as
your suit to be worn in monochromatic fashion. Pivotal suits that are navy and
black in color can be a surefire way to stretch your wardrobe budget and
choices. Other equally powerful colors for your pivotal suit would include
gray, olive and brown. However, always remember not to mix navy and black
colors together or you will ruin your fashion sense.
Two silk blouses
The other one could be long-sleeved and
these two blouses will prove to be very helpful when you are trying to
coordinate them with your suits. Blouses
that have geometric print and solid colors can be paired with those two suits
mentioned above. You can wear your long-sleeved blouse with your skirt to pair
with your suit. The good thing about
these pairs is that you can just let them hang on the back of your chair in the
office and wear it anytime there is a meeting. In other words, you would still
look both professional and fashionable with or without your suits.
One Tailored Jacket
Make sure to choose a color that is
compatible with those pivotal suits that you already have. For starters, it would be best to choose
jackets in varied colors so that other people will not have the impression that
you are wearing the same jacket over and over again. Although it is okay to
wear the same basic garment for a week just do not forget to hang them right
away for airing out. Your jacket style
must vary from your suit jacket cuts.
Your printed jackets will perfectly go well with solid-colored tops.
Long Skirt
If your height is below 5’4”, it is best
to choose straight long style for your skirt and stay away from full skirt
designs. Its print must coordinate well with your jacket, suit or turtleneck
tops.
Sweater Set
Your sweater
set i.e. shell and cardigan could either have neutral or totally different
colors for as long as they look perfect with the skirt and pants that you
already have in your closet. Off-white colored sweaters will definitely make it
easier for you to pair with just anything beneath it or with your skirts and
pants. If you opt for colored sweaters then see to it that the colors are
according to what is the latest color trends.
If you choose lime green colored sweaters, the best pair of pants to
wear would be color black or eggplant. To gain more sets, you can just pair
your shell with your other jackets. The same thing can also be done with your
cardigans. This is the beauty of having
neutral colored clothes because you will have no trouble mixing and matching
them with other clothes that you already have.
You can then
add more clothes to your collection once your budget allows. But, for now, continue to search for more
tips on business wardrobe must haves so you will not have to suffer from much
anxiety and stress whenever you wake up in the morning and think of what to
wear. During weekends, it is also good
to plan ahead of time the pairing of clothes to wear and then hang each set or
pair in your closet so you can easily grab them whenever you need to go to
work. As your wardrobe collection
starts to grow you can then start exploring other colors aside from those
neutral colored clothes you have. Do not
forget that as you invest money on your clothes, you will also be able to gain
more money out of it as you gain more positive impressions from other people.
