- Choose the right accessories
Making use of the right kind of accessory compliments your
personality. A leather briefcase, instead of an overstuffed handbag or a plastic
carrier, projects a business like image.
Handbags
Small handbags give a neat look
An overflowing bag looks messy
and portrays muddled thinking
Ethnic bags are fine if you are a
teenager or still attending college
A plastic bag gives an
unprofessional look
A leather briefcase projects a
business-like image
A portfolio usually gives a dull
look
Wristwatches
Punctuality is the stepping-stone to success. Wearing a wristwatch is of utmost
importance to students as well as professionals. The timepiece he/she is wearing
often judges a person. The color of the dial should be in harmony with your
apparel. The latest trend is to wear the wristwatch on the right hand by
emulating Omega models Cindy Crawford and Shahrukh Khan.
Sunglasses
Make sure you use good quality sunglasses to protect your vision from UV rays.
While choosing a frame, go in for a style that suits your face.
Jackets
Jackets and blazers are ideal
business apparels. The fabric should hang well without creasing easily. Blues,
grays and chocolate browns are safe choices for men. Patterned jackets give
women a more feminine and traditional look.
Ties
Ties should be worn to let the tip come halfway across the belt buckle, not
allowing the thin end to show. In classy silk ties worn with business suits, the
stripes should run from the left shoulder downwards. A cut on the cross is a
good tie, which makes it hang well.
Shoes
Shoes need to
be comfortable as well as suitable for your workplace.
·
Invest in good-quality leather shoes, preferably black,
unless you can afford other colors too.
·
Shoes should be stuffed with tissues to keep them in
shape.
·
A low or medium heel is ideal.
·
Even if you are wearing the most expensive shoes in
town, they will not make an impact unless they are well polished.
