This is the most formal dress code that exists within the office (not at office social events, for which you consult: "How to dress for a formal business event"). To comply with this code, own rather of large law firms or financial, you must use a dark suit with a dress or skirt to the knee or below. Opt for sober colors such as black, chocolate, wine, forest green or the inevitable navy blue, in fine fabrics of wool and silk or quality synthetic fibers, that do not shine or make "noise" when walking. Wear stockings unless your legs are well turned, plucked and tanned. In any case, avoid showing too much skin.
The shoes should be rather discreet, without adornments, with an appropriate heel to keep pace with the "big bosses" or to follow your step if you are the "big boss". Finally the accessories must be few and of excellent quality.
Women's Office Dress Code in the Workplace
General business: This dress code is a little less formal, so you do not necessarily have to wear a full suit - you can combine. Your accessories can be more eye-catching, and you can show your knee legs down. A pencil skirt can be a good option for this environment, along with a shirt and a blazer. Pretty or striking necklaces, as well as foulards or brightly colored mascaras are allowed.
Business casual: While here you can opt for more flashy and fun accessories, as well as blouses, sweaters and dark jeans or jeans, remember that "casual" is NOT a synonym for "fachoso" or gangly. Even when you are in a more relaxed environment, it is still a work environment where you must maintain an attitude and professional image.
Recommendations to apply the dress code in the office
Wear comfortable shoes: Choose to wear wider and lower heels, particularly if you are usually standing constantly; Not only will you get tired quickly by wearing high and thin heels, but you also run the risk of falling.
Use a bra or bra that gives support and fits you: Although it seems incredible, 85% of women wear a bra incorrect size. The support that gives you your underwear is important to avoid having extra fatigue, as well as to look good your outfit. Finally, try to wear simple underwear, and leave the lace and flowers for the weekend. Check our article "Tips to form your basic wardrobe No. 1: good underwear" to know more.
Send the right message through your attire: Even if you like to dress differently from others or attract attention for your creativity and style, remember that there is a "corporate culture" that you must honor, since each institution has its own rules , written and not written about what is right and allowed. No doubt you can add personal touches, but avoid calling too much attention for your style, instead of your work.
Use the right colors: Dressing formally for the office does not mean you have to wear black day after day; other colors such as navy blue, gray, or any other dark tone communicate seriousness and authority, and can also help you vary your combinations and outfits a bit. Likewise, if your business partner is business casual, it does not imply wearing washed jeans, extravagant makeup or wearing inappropriate necklines.
