As a professional, your professional dress code is one of the most essentials aspects of your appearance. How you present yourself at work, in front of your clients, your colleagues and employers is really essential. Your outfit is definitely one of the most visible and important part of that. Now when it comes to dressing by your profession, you need to see not only what would look good but also should be suitable according to the nature of your job. If you are someone mostly sitting at the desk then there is a certain way of dressing but if your work requires you to walk or run around then there’s another way of dressing in that case. Of course it’s also important the outfit captures your essence and your personality. Hence with so many factors at play, we’ve come up with exactly the kind of outfits that are perfect according to your profession. Without much ado let’s get into it.

Here’s how to follow your professional dress code.

Professional Dress Code for a Makeup Artist

As a makeup artist to dress according to your profession make sure you opt for the comfort chic vibe. Your job requires you to mostly stand or run around hence nothing to glam which might be uncomfortable will help. Think comfort outfits like parallel pants, comfortably fitting t-shirts, crop sweatshirt or basic shirts. It would also be idea if you go for some dark colours since you are bound to be surrounded by make powders and all. The lighter colours would then be vulnerable to getting dirty. Of course, the most essential thing here is the footwear has to be comfortable. Do not opt for heels or sandals that might tire out your fit. Consider cushioned flats or some comfortable sneakers. Of course, your makeup needs to be on point as well, since that’s what you are a pro at right!?

Graphic Designer

To dress by profession as a graphic designer you really don’t need to think too much. You are naturally a creative a genius so just let that shine. Think quirky prints and colours, graphic t-shirts and all. You know very well how to play around with colours so just let that shine. Let your outfit speak of your work. You can try bright shades like reds, oranges or prints like floral, or tiger. Something quirky and experimental should be your vibe. Since your job is mostly to sit in front of the screen, you can very well opt for whatever kind of footwear you feel stylish in. To add to the aesthetic consider adding computer glasses which would look great and also be good for your eyes.

Entrepreneur/Sales Representative

As an entrepreneur or a sales representative most of your time is spent dealing with people or clients. Hence, you most definitely should consider opting for formal clothing which is also professional yet comfortable. Yes, the comfort might have to be compromised in some cases but looking presentable in your field is very important. Most importantly when you are have your very first meeting with someone. That is when you create a lasting impression. Hoard up on professional shirts, well fitting pants and even some comfortable heels. You might even want to consider investing in a good presentable bag. Of course keep accessorising to the minimal a watch should be a good enough accessory. 

Professional Dress Code for a Techie

Not to stereotype or anything but techies and nerdy looks go really well together. So you can totally opt for the whole nerd chic aesthetic. That doesn’t necessarily have to mean your outfits will be boring, they can actually be pretty stylish. You could consider cigarette pants, striped t-shirts or shirts. Sweater vests sure are the perfect addition to an aesthetic like this. We also think if you love the fun playful vibe then a nice shirt with a pretty skater skirt would also be great for a look like this. Of course glasses sure are practical and perfect for a look like this.

Wedding/ Event Planner

As a wedding planner you sure take on multiple roles. It’s a job that definitely requires you to run around. Hence, for you the most professional clothing would actually depend on what you are doing at any given day. When it comes to client meeting then you could consider wearing a nice profession coat with well fitting clothing, like jeans or pants. In cases when you are headed out sourcing then of course some comfortable jeans and pants with a pair of comfortable sneakers is really important. And finally, when you are working through the wedding you have to match the vibe, hence for a nice but comfortable anarkali in which you can look presentable as well as run around.

Professor

As a professor it’s very important to look at the clothes to wear professionally. You have an impression to make on your students and it’s important that they take you seriously. So without a doubt the clothing needs to neat, symmetrical and nothing too loud or attention grabbing. And yes, you can look extremely chic while doing all of that! Pants and shirts definitely are a good option to add to your wardrobe. Think, stripes and checks for shirts and muted shades for pants, they can both fitting or flared. Of course, a lot of institutions require professors to wear Indian so you could consider some simple and muted kurti sets or even a light cotton anarkali.

Stylist

As a stylist, it’s extremely important for you to be following the trend, look stylish and still be comfortable. Since clothes are a big part of your job it’s super important to know what to opt for yourself. Moreover, since you have a lot of running around to do for your clients the clothes and footwear needs to be super comfortable too. You could consider some plain and nicely fitting jumpsuits. Since you express yourself creatively through your clothes you consider playing around with colour blocking too, if anyone that can do that well, it’s you! Accessorising accurately is also very important but make sure it’s not too much.
