Women's Business Clothing
Wondering what colors would be perfect to wear to office? Pinstripes or plain shirts? Sleek pants or slim fit skirts? Well if you are hoping to find answers to these questions, this is not the article for you.
In an age where we are propagating the importance of valuing women for their skills and protesting against the perception of women as mere objects of beauty, do we really need to make an issue about what sort of shirts women are wearing to work, or which colors suit them? As long as they are doing their job right, just leave them alone. Several fashion designers have special corporate collections as well, but again, will that change the way people work? Whoever said that clothes make people who they are, may have seen pieces of garments walking around them, whatever happened to the idea of seeing people for who they are otherwise? You are what you think and not what you wear.
Of course people who are fashion savvy, and follow the latest trends can have their sleek pants, pinstripes or any other new style of clothing available in the market but common guys, let us not make an issue out of it! I've seen people walking around in the simplest and most modest clothes and still working just as well or at times even better than the people who don the business clothing fashion. Fashion gurus might frown upon the idea of not paying attention to what you are wearing, however I am not advocating shabbiness or utterly horrendous outfits that say 'I don't care'. Let us just not make an issue out of pinstripes and black formal suits, or high heels and platforms.
Business clothing is all about wearing comfortable and presentable clothes that do not distract people or invite shocked glances and stares at workplace. The only thing that you need to care about is that your business clothing doesn't seem out-of-place. The first thing that you need to do is observe the work culture at your workplace. See what kind of dressing sense is seen in the office - whether there is an element of casual atmosphere at work or an element of stern, conservative corporate atmosphere. Business clothing for women can include anything that is comfortable, convenient and appropriate for everyday wear at work.
Nowadays many workplaces have grown out of their conservative dress codes and allow their employees to wear almost anything that they feel comfortable in. Some of the largest corporate houses in the world believe in granting complete freedom to their employees regarding dress code. It is always better if you can manage to dress according to the work culture since, while working you are a part of a team and there shouldn't be any reason to go against the tide for the heck of it. In case your work culture gives you the freedom to dress up as you wish, it is totally your call about what you can or cannot wear.
Remember Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich? She might not have had the perfect dressing sense for her workplace, but she was comfortable in her own skin and that's exactly what matters the most. Beauty, intelligence, or perhaps any other virtue you possess, it's always what's in you that matters, and not what's on you!
