Hey ladies!
let’s talk about the standard guidelines that most companies follow that we often get caught up in it. The basic dark colors, white tops, shoes, and blazers. These are some of the basics that most companies require you to wear but, I’m here to tell you that the times have changed. Most if not all companies allow you to dress in a more business casual way. This is to provide the employee with a little free-range in expressing themselves with their own personal style. I’m here for it!
Let’s get into the 3 quick ways you can enhance your corporate style today.
Find a great Tailor
Having your clothes tailored to fit your body is the key to looking polished. I tell people this all the time, clothes are not made for the average person’s body type. They were made for the model that the designer had in mind, so don’t get frustrated if something you pick out doesn’t fit you to a tee.
Think about this when you’re out shopping, better to go a size up so you can get it tailored as opposed to going for your exact size since it doesn’t give you the room you need to tailor it.
TIP: Try out a few local tailors in your town first then if you aren’t finding what you are looking for then venture out to a town or two over.
Embrace New Colors
We are often drawn to the typical Black, Gray, and Blue colors which can be boring at times so, think about the color wheel when shopping. Take a look at a color chart and decide from there. I would recommend starting with inviting and friendly colors. Those colors will draw people to you and make them a bit more comfortable when they are approaching you.
Here are a few colors I would recommend and their meanings.
- Teal- Serene and Sophisticated
- Green- Conscious and Reliable
- Yellow- Positive and Friendly
- Orange- Optimistic and Fun
- Light Pink- Innocence and Femininity
Statement Pieces
My favorite thing to add to a boring outfit is statement pieces. This can range from jewelry to a bold pair of shoes so, the options are endless.
I would say be mindful of your jewelry, you don’t want to wear supersized earrings so put some thought into it when selecting them.
Here are a few statement pieces that can enhance your corporate style.
- Bold Blazer
- Silk Scarfs
- Statement Glasses
- Statement Shoes
- Statement Jewelry
- Statement Purse
So there you go, 3 quick ways you can enhance your current corporate style.
