If youโre a new college graduate, you will soon find yourself looking for jobs and internships. Itโs time to brush up your skills and apply them in the real world. Youโre ready to enter the professional life and start your career. But what about your wardrobe? When we are in college, our closets are filled with denim, jeans, hoodies, graphic t-shirts. In college, we tend to focus more on outfits that we are comfortable wearing every day and have these staples. However, as soon as we enter the professional world, itโs time to transition our wardrobe.ย
Dressing professionally and appropriately as per the work culture is crucial and will also help you create a good impression. Nailing the art of corporate dressing can be challenging. However, it is not impossible. All you need to do is invest in a few pieces that will be appropriate for the office culture.ย ย
Corporate Dressing Tips: How to dress more professionally
Go business casual and style the pieces you already have
You can consider business casual as a little relaxed version of the professional corporate dressing. However, you donโt have to go completely casual with it. Business casual can be a combination of a blouse or a shirt paired with skirts, trousers, or pants. Avoid wearing denim or ripped jeans in your casual attire.ย You can style your solid colored blouse or striped shirts with trousers or pants.
Wear light jewellery and studs
Check your jewellery box and separate the simple and lightweight items for everyday office jewellery. You can go with simple studs and a bracelet to add that elegance to your look. Stick with the minimal pieces and avoid wearing heavy jewellery. Keep it simple to complement your overall look.ย
Pick the right footwear
A simple and classic pair of stilettos will be perfect for corporate dressing. However, you can also choose from loafers, brogues, and ballet shoes. Most of us have either of these already in our wardrobe. Choose the right footwear and complete your business casual look. Avoid wearing tennis shoes. Keep it as professional as you can.ย
Invest in a classic suit
Your office dress code may vary depending on the company you are working for and your job role. However, you must invest in a professional and classic suit that will take you through any job.ย
Buy more neutral shades
Consider investing more in neutral colours such as blue, grey, black, white, khaki. You can add a pop of colours to your neutral tones. But, you should not consider wearing bright coloured outfits or dresses.
Dressing appropriately will help you stand out from the rest. Follow the tips mentioned above to alleviate your style and nail the art of dressing appropriately. Get in touch with us if you are looking to refresh your wardrobe and need more corporate dressing tips.ย
