Dress for work
Dress according to your job tasks. If you will be interacting with customers in a professional context, you will need to dress sharply to make a good first impression. If you work at a casual company, in the back room or your job involves getting dirty, you may have more leeway in how you dress.
Notice how your colleagues dress and use it as your standard. Try to dress at the same level as others in your workplace or just a little nicer.
If your job includes a mixture of customer interaction and something that better suits a casual style, keep a change of clothes around or something to add. Add a blazer or sport coat and (for men) a necktie to a basic shirt to dress it up.
Wear clothes that fit you. You don't have to be a size 4 to look good but you do need to wear clothes that fit you properly.
Don't wear anything too small. If your pants bunch around your thighs and waist, they're too small. If you can't cross your arms in front of you without your sleeves exposing your wrists, your shirt is too small. Also, if your buttons gape at the front, your shirt is once again, too small.
Don't wear anything too large, either. Choose clothing that fits you without being baggy or floppy. Shorten hems on trousers and sleeves if necessary.
Keep your hair and makeup simple.
You'll save time. Try to keep your morning routine for hair and makeup under about 30 minutes.
You'll avoid looking overdone. Have you ever seen people wearing so much hairspray they look like their hair might break if they fall? Find a balance between good grooming and endless primping.
4Accentuate the positive. If you have great legs, wear skirts. Just make sure they're an appropriate length (no more than 2 inches above the knee). Great figure? Well-fitting slacks with a sharp crease.
5Keep it modest. A V-neck sweater or blouse is fine, but don't wear skirts that are too short, necks that are too low, or anything that is see-through or overly tight.
6Shine your shoes. It may seem old-fashioned, but a regular application of paste wax will keep them looking good longer. It will help repel water and cover up scuffs.
