Grooming & Etiquette (Ladies dressing tips)

DRESSING TIPS (LADIES)

Jackets

• Avoid ill-fitted jackets
• Shoulder should look natural, never severe

Blouses

• Wear simple blouses under your suits
• Elaborate designs are best worn on its own
• Never buy or wear a blouse that is straining across the bust. A loose fit in your blouses is slimming and elegant.

Trousers

• Whether or not a woman wears trousers is a question of company style. If they are acceptable, then they obviously should be elegant, well cut and suit the wearer. 

Skirt

• Classic, not extreme skirt length. If your legs are an asset, you can show up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the knees. Otherwise, end your skirt at or just below the knee where the legs naturally indent.

ACCESSORIES



Earings

• Should be worn for every business occasion, not just social ones. The shape should be complimentary to your face.

Necklaces

• Women with average to long necks look good in chunky chokers. If you have short neck, opt for long chains or pearls, which will make your neck, look longer.

Scarves

• Best worn with collarless jackets or jackets with no lapels.

Watches

• Women who do not wear watches project to others that they do not know what time management means. Choose simple, elegant, reliable watches which are in proportion to the size of your wrists.

Handbags

• Choose a size that is proportionate to you.
• Petite women should avoid large styles, while grand
• Scale women require a bigger bag.
• Neutral colour that will coordinare with your suits.
• Elegant but functional in design.

Belts

• Determine the width that is comfortable on you to flatter your body type.
• It is not always necessary to match the colour of your shoes. Red can coordinate with black shoes.

Hosiery

• Neutral tones to blend with your hemline.
• Pattered hosiery has no place in business.
• For large legs, opt for darker tones.
• For slim legs, lighter colours create more 'weight' and 'shape'.

Shoes

• Buying quality shoes are better value for money.
• A medium heel for business. Avoid stilettos or heels.
• That prevents you from walking normally.
• Colourful details on shoes are distracting - save them for evenings.
• Keep the details on your business shoes to a minimum.
