- Accuracy. Clothing, first of all, should be without puffs and spools, ironed and not pale, neat and clean. Hair should be collected in a neat hairstyle, it will emphasize the high organization of a woman. On the computer, see how you can choose a hairstyle and choose the appropriate makeup. If you use your own photo, then you can evaluate yourself from the outside.
- Restrained and calm makeup, everything should be in tone, powder, respectively. Smells of perfume should not be sharp, wood odors are preferable.
- Hands should be well-groomed, with manicure, nails are not long, but medium length. Better is the color of the varnish pale pink or French manicure.
- Shoes must be of good quality and clean. In the office, you need to use replaceable shoes - these are classic black heels with heels that do not need to be replaced urgently. From sandals should be abandoned in the office, they seem to indicate your lightheadedness. Pantyhose should be worn necessarily, even if outdoors it's summer and very hot, without hooks and puffs, flesh-colored. Every business woman who respects herself should wear in her purse or keep an extra pair of tights in the office, just in case.
Suits must be chosen from natural fabrics, the business style is emphasized white and black. When you put on a dress or a skirt you need to avoid extremes - maxi and mini. You can not wear deep neckline and translucent blouses.
Accessories, clothes and everything you wear should be of good quality. See that if you buy branded things, they should be so. There can be nothing more horrible than a forgery for Dolce & Gabbana, which can be determined by not correctly making the brand's inscription on the bag.
Perfect order in documents and on the desk, business accessories are part of the image. In good condition and quality should be - diaries, folders, business cards, document covers, parker pens, which talk about the specific status of their owner. And cheap office supplies speak of low self-esteem and negligence of their owner. Not necessarily that your mobile phone was the latest model, but the phone should look like it was just purchased yesterday, and be without scratches and abrasions.
You should have few ornaments, or they should be slightly noticeable, then this will add to your elegance. You can pick up contrasting elements - an umbrella-cane, a neck scarf, a bag, or you can focus on the original parts. But do not forget about the feeling of the measure, it is desirable to refuse from jewelry.
But still, with respect to the business lady, there was some kind of distrust. And modern business women should treat all this as an incentive to show professionalism, so as not to make a mistake, so that there is not the slightest chance to question you among the people around you. By the number of elegant and business women, Russia is entering the world's leaders.

Part of the image are movements and gestures. It is the gesture that will show the person's face and mood, even then he does not want it.
Movements should not be fast and sharp. Do not sit in a relaxed pose, for a long time to talk down your eyes. In leisure time you can relax, but during working hours you need to be smart. If the people who surround you are older than you, then you need to be more tactful, more collected, than if you are among people of your age. Do not need to take wide steps, do not swing your arms. The gait should not be sluggish. The best option would be straight posture, measured movements.
When sitting on a chair, do not sit on the edge, swing, do not lean on the table. When you get up and sit down, you do not have to make noise. In this chair on the floor does not move, and rearrange, taking the back of the chair. Habits swing, fidgeting in the chair, refers to the category of "uncomfortable." Because these habits can be perceived as unwillingness to continue to talk and so on. When talking, it is better to sit straight, not leaning back and not bending over. For a business woman, landing is most acceptable, when the knees are pushed together, and the feet are one next to the other, the shin is slightly turned obliquely.
When talking, prop up your head with your hand ugly, this can mean fatigue or boredom. It is acceptable to cross arms on the chest, but the interlocutor such gesture is perceived as a desire to stop the conversation or discontent.
The drawn head or raised shoulders give the impression of being withdrawn and mean tension. In order to arrange the interlocutor, you can bow your head to one side. Then it seems that the person listens to you attentively. Do not need to rub glasses glasses, light a cigarette when talking, since this will talk about how to delay the time, and will look like an attempt, how to get away from the answer.
