Women's business clothes for office

For most of our compatriots, the beginning of summer means starting on the stores in search of suitable summer clothes. Only one part of them goes in search of swimsuits, summer frivolous outfits and cheerful bright accessories, and the other looks at shop windows with completely opposite things. They are looking for such a unique summer clothes that would match the business dress code.


The very concept of the dress code came to us from London, but due to the rather significant difference in the climate, the domestic business and social life made its adjustments to the British dress code.

Most likely, a number of exceptions will be made regarding the forthcoming summer season, especially if the coming summer will be at least half as hot as last year. How in such heat to manage to look simultaneously at business-like strict and not emaciated with high temperatures? How to comply with all the rules of business style and at the same time dress easily and freely?

We are still very lucky that recently, the harsh laws of the business office dress code are no-no and allow modest indulgences. And if more recently in the office it was not allowed even to unbutton the top button on the shirt and remove the tie, not to mention the unbuttoned jacket, but today many managers allow their employees to even shirts with short sleeves and the lack of jackets in the summer.

However, some moments remain unshakable. Even in the most intense heat, it is worth avoiding such things as long and brightly colored nails or, on the contrary, dirty and short broken legs, a huge amount of costume jewelry and ornaments, even if these are extremely expensive products or precious jewelry. Under no circumstances does the office dress code recognize at any time of the year the rings in the nose or lips, the use of several pairs of earrings at the same time or too catchy flashy decorations of bright colors, even if such models are offered by an authoritative fashion designer on their fashion shows.
Even in the most terrible heat, according to the requirements of the dress code, you will have to come to the office in pantyhose, since bare legs are absolutely unacceptable. The office dress code also does not allow open shoes, without backs or with an open toe. It is clear that there is no question of any sandals.

Well, of course, it's also worth forgetting about shorts and beach pants before you go on vacation. By the way, there is no need to resent such "draconian" measures, because usually companies that require compliance in their office of this business style of clothes will provide you with an excellent conditioning system and ionizers, so you will not have to suffer especially.

For office work, pay attention to summer dresses - they are quite acceptable, along with costumes, including trousers, from light summer fabric. Just do not buy suits from easily wrinkled fabrics, since after a few hours of work at work, the look will not be too neat. Also it is worth paying attention to the style of the dress, because the open shoulder of the office dress code does not accept.
As for the color palette, then adhere to strict colors, such as dark gray, burgundy, green and blue, as well as beige tones. Choose for a summer business wardrobe only natural fabrics: cotton, silk, blends with linen (pure linen is often too flaccid that does not quite fit the business environment). Natural fabrics let in air and allow the body to breathe, especially if you are getting to work in public transport in the heat.

Do not abuse accessories and decorations, if only because some of them, for example, diamonds in the hot summer noon in the office will not be very appropriate. All bright and sparkling decorations we leave for hot summer nights, along with deep decollete and transparent fabrics. The exception for the office is an engagement ring and strict hours, try to avoid religious symbols, if you wear a cross, it should not be seen. Especially picky employers also prohibit loose hair during working hours.
Here is such a strict dress code. But in it, of course, there are secret loopholes and ways to deceive the severe etiquette. For example, in order to create a visual illusion of pantyhose on the legs, it is necessary that the legs are tanned and smooth. And an extra pair of shoes for the office will save you from having to walk through the heat in closed shoes. And yet: take the rule not to cool the room air-conditioned, and put it a couple of degrees lower than the temperature on the street. Then, going outside the chilled room, you will not feel uncomfortable. If the air temperature in the office premises is regulated centrally, then the multi-layer clothing will be saved from the temperature difference to the streets and inside.

In fact, everything is much simpler than it seems, and in the intricacies of the dress code is easy to understand. All of its requirements and restrictions come from two fundamental principles: dressing is necessary so that they do not get fired, and you need to dress in such a way that they raise (the best example is how the boss dresses himself). According to stylists and image-makers, in order to purchase decent office clothing, you need to spend at least $ 500, and even more. Draw conclusions.
