1. COLOR SELECTION

Color selection can make or break the entire look of an individual. While ladies have a plethora of color options to choose from, for formals the options are limited. It is better to stick to the classic and neutral shades. There is a general protocol that the shade of the attire should not be very bold and bright for meetings, interviews and other such events. This applies to both men and women. If you’re wearing anything that has prints, make sure that it is subtle and simple.
2. CHOOSE the BOTTOMS APPROPRIATELY

The selection of shirt and top along with a blazer or suit is easier when compared to the bottoms. You can either go with trousers or pencil skirts. Make the choice as per your comfort level and the office culture. You can choose any one of them, but make sure that the suit and the shirt matches it properly. Along with this, you can even go with the jeans and palazzo pants for the semi-formal appearance. Make sure that the denim is sleek and not rugged. The look should be office appropriate.
3. DRESS ACCORDING to YOUR BODY TYPE

Dressing according to the body type is equally important for ladies. For instance, women who are very skinny or over-weight can go for trousers. While ladies whose body shape is like an hourglass can wear skirts. However, in either case you need to be very particular about the fitting. It should neither be very tight nor very baggy. Flaunting the well-toned physique is fine, but don’t overdo things at your workplace.
4. GO for ALLURING ACCESSORIES

Your accessory selection is equally important. Make sure that the ensemble is subtle and not over the top. Choose accessories that complement your outfit, but are not the first thing someone notices about you.

One of the worst things that you can do is to wear wrinkled and untidy clothes. Avoid wearing baggy clothes to the workplace. Well-tailored attire will automatically project a very professional look. If you are wearing a sleeveless shirt or top, then, it should extend to the edge of the shoulders. Footwear should be formal as well. Heels and pumps are ideal options. Avoid wearing casual sandals and slippers. A bit of heel is always recommended, but you can also make flats work. Avoid wearing aggressive colors and wild prints. Sophistication is the key for a subtly stylish and attention grabbing look.
