You can't afford to make mistakes with your business attire. When ever I go for business meetings, including board meetings, attend business functions I always make sure that I am dressed for business. Dressing for business is so important and cannot be overlooked. Its about making the a good first impression that is lasting. Clothing is an overlooked component in many women’s professional life.
People need to take you seriously, dirty clothes and ill fitting clothes are a sign that you don't care about yourself. If you don't care about you, clients will think you don't care about them.
I struggle to understand why women do not invest in themselves. Many make excuses that they cannot afford it or there is nothing wrong with what they are wear. How you dress can have an impact on who does business with you. People are put off by sloppy dressing. They are sizing you up and sizing you down, appearance and clothing are so important. You may talk a good talk but if your clothes let you down you wont seal that deal.
Does it fit right?
We all know to avoid too tight or too skimpy. If your clothing is overly revealing, you'll get attention for the wrong reason and not for your ideas or sealing that deal. Alas some women didn't get that memo. Nothing is worse than clothes that are too tight or too skimpy. You are in the office not at a party.
Trendy or Timeless
A wise invest in to by timeless pieces. The on trend bag or coat is ok to wear. While it’s important to avoid looking too trendy, this shouldn’t translate into wearing dowdy clothes. You earning a salary so you should invest in pieces that will last. A good tailor can transform a suit to something more modern. Remember Timeless doesn't mean because you've had it for 20 years its still modern. Time to buy new office clothes.
Dressing for the weekend …during the week
Many companies have a relaxed dress code. some say business dress. This does not mean you can turn up in the office with creased clothes, an old tracksuit or stains on your clothing. It really means don’t interpret business casual as dressing for a Saturday afternoon. Look at what your colleagues are wearing. Some companies have a dress code, this should be in the staff handbook or in your contract of employment. If you are still not sure speak to your Human Resources department to understand what the dress code is.
Customer facing jobs
As tempting as it is to wear your Saturday afternoon attire, think what impression you are giving the customer about the company you work for. Even if your colleagues like to dress drab and have no care in how they present themselves, take pride in yourself. Have a jacket in the office, as you don't know when you maybe called to help a client or even go to the clients office. Be prepared for the unexpected.
