Office etiquette in clothes
The modern office style of clothing has become morefree. Today it is not necessary to wear extremely strict suits, white top and black bottom.

Therefore, in the closet of each girl, even one that is relieved of the need to comply with the business dress code, one or two blouses should hang. In this case, when you are going to an interview or a business meeting, you can always wear something suitable for the status of the event. Well, if you are forced to look like a business man, then the blouse is an integral part of your wardrobe. Pick up to it a stylish jacket or jacket, complement the image with an unusual brooch, and you will instantly feel irresistible. For sure many noticed - dressing in homely cozy clothes, and you become more calm and soft. Similarly, with a business suit, putting it on subconsciously reincarnated in a strict, alien emotion woman. Office attire should be matched according to the type of your figure, and also match you according to the color scheme. Otherwise, even the most fashionable and expensive thing will look ridiculous. Therefore, go to buy new clothes with intelligence. First of all, choose a quality product, ideally cut and stitched both from the outside and from the inside. Pay attention to the fabric, the country of origin. It does not have to be a model of a well-known brand - the main thing is that she sat down on your figure, highlighting the advantages and hiding the shortcomings. As for the costumes, today you can find different combinations: blouse-pants, a skirt-blouse or a classic jacket plus pants. In addition, the shorts from the streets smoothly migrated to modern offices, somewhat modified: now they are made of dense woolen or other suit fabric, medium length to the knee or lower, with ornament or monochrome. Another of the latest trends is office dresses. They can be worn with or without a jacket. In this outfit, even the most severe female leader remains feminine and beautiful. 
Modern costume models
Today, as before, the costumes arethe basic component of the business wardrobe. Classic jacket in combination with straight, slightly flared or narrowed to the bottom trousers, or a jacket with a strict skirt - that's the standard set. However, if your dress code is not strictly regulated in your company, you can wear a "flying" cut with an overstated waist that is longer than or above the knee. For today, fashion also fitted jackets, reaching to the middle of the thigh or slightly shorter, in combination with straight trousers on the ankle. If you have a wide basin, choose slightly flared models that will help visually align the silhouette. Business clothes should be made of non-fading, quality fabric, pleasant looking. For this, the most suitable material is:
- natural silk and wool,
- knitwear,
- cotton,
- tweed and others.
The fabric should repeat the bends of the figure, but at the same timenot too focus on your femininity - no transparent, shiny materials, beads and sequins. As for the color, the office wardrobe assumes restrained tones: black and white, gray and blue, chocolate and olive, the pastel shades, herbal and sand are also appropriate. Choose a bulky or flared, free or semi-fitted model - it all depends on the type of your figure. Also, do not forget about shoes. If you are not used to hairpins, buy shoes on an average heel, but he must be present.
We select an office dress
Office dress should be selected carefully andCaution. This element of the wardrobe is relevant only within your team, so if you go on a business trip or are scheduled serious negotiations in another company, better wear an elegant suit. The most popular model, which is preferred by modern businesswomen, is a dress-case. It will be appropriate to look in any office situation: at a meeting, negotiations, planning meetings and so on. This style was developed back in the 30s of the XX century, but still remains a fashion trend. Its main advantages are a semi-fitted silhouette and an emphasis on the waist, which help visually narrow the figure and make it slimmer. The classic version of this clothing involves the absence of sleeves and collar. Initially, such models were intended for parties or cocktails, but over time, designers made minor adjustments, improving their style. Today, the dress-case has a classic straight cut that does not fit every woman. After all, all the individual characteristics of the figure, so clothes should be chosen based on their problem areas. So the model with a not too deep V-neck will help to emphasize the chest and visually lengthen the neck, and the flying skirt, flared down, will hide the full thighs. Whichever style you prefer, remember that a dress in business style must necessarily be with a long or three-quarter sleeve. Cloth choose a nimble, breathable and dense, in any situation to feel comfortable. Naturally, shiny (for example, lurex) and transparent materials are not allowed. The ideal option is a one-ton model, modest, not too wide strips and a cage are allowed. Modern designers suggest paying attention to such colors: blue, light chocolate, gray, beige, khaki, sand and shade of ivory. The dress can be completed with a stylish jacket just above the hip, matched in tone or in contrasting colors. However, the jacket should not fit the figure and overline the contours of the body. By the way, without this thing you can not do, if you put on a dress with a short sleeve. 
Accessories and footwear
To a business suit or a dress should be chosensuitable shoes. The requirements are the same - restraint, rigor and elegance. If the shoes have an open toe, then behind and at the sides they must be closed. In the summer, when the street is suffocated by heat, the natural desire of every woman - to wear sandals or comfortable slaps. Fight with yourself, because such models are unacceptable in the office. Better buy elegant shoes on a small heel of "breathable" skin, so your legs will not swell. So, to the basic requirements of the office dress code can be attributed:
- hairpin or high wide heel;
- lacquered or matte leather;
- Shoes must be made in dark or pastel colors;
- if you can not decide on the model, buy classic shoes that never go out of fashion.
Finish the image of a business and stylish womanwill help you choose the right accessories. Today, trendy trends are discreet, but large decorations of low-key shades. So, beads, a pendant on a long chain, bracelets made of natural stone will suit the dress. Gold and silver are always in high esteem, agate and amber, turquoise and ivory are also popular, but a string of pearls emphasizing the elegant female neck is an eternal classic. Selecting accessories, consider that they should be combined not only in style, but also in color. In this case, observe the sense of proportion, for example, wearing a bright and bright ring, give up the bracelet, and preferring long earrings, forget about the chains or beads. For high fat women, stylists recommend paying attention to large jewelry, and miniature girls should buy elegant, small earrings, pendants, chains and so on. To the skirt-case fit a wide belt, which will help to emphasize the slender waist. A jacket "will play" completely differently, if you decorate it with a stylish brooch. In addition, silk scarves, as well as scarves, tied around the neck returned to fashion. As for bags, a small clutch in the Chanel style - just an ideal option. Choose elegant models that you can wear both in your hand and on a long thin strap. Huge amounts of trunks in the office look ridiculous, you're not going to the market, but to work. Therefore, for papers and folders with documents, get a stylish leather briefcase.
