CASUAL APPAREL FOR WOMEN/ACCESSORIES

 

Business casual is perhaps most difficult for women. May be their wardrobe is full with clothes but in business casual have still some restrictions. Women cannot wear anything in the workplace means whatever they like to wear. Women have so many choices available but it is very hard to decide what to wear. Today’s women are more fashion conscious; they want to look stylish and modern.  Yes, they can wear buttoned up collared shirt with dress pants as men do. But there is biggest concern about the women who do not want to wear all these business suits and dress pants.

With business casual you have the freedom to be little more stylish and less conservative. Instead of wearing only suits and dress pant now they have options to wear blouses, skirts, blazers and dresses.




 

When dressing up business casual always remember few things:

 

·         No cleavage                                      

·         No open toed shoes or running shoes        

·         No wrinkles, stains or smell

·         No visible underwear ever

·         No mini skirts

·         Avoid very bright colours and wild patterns

·         No signal and excessive jewellery

·         Outfits should not be too tight or too loose
 

 

Skirts:The two most important things about skirts are fit and length. The length should not be too short and fitting not too tight. The length of the skirts really matter at business casual wear because it distracts during the meetings, environment and behaviour in the workplace.

 

 Jewellery: Jewellery should be worn in moderate amounts and should not attract too much attention. Jewellery should not be too big, bright, shiny jewels in it which creates signal towards to you. Keep your jewellery simple and understated.
