In order to at least diversify the daily look, you can take advantage of a variety of fashionable models of office skirts. The expert advice presented here will help you create the right and stylish sets.
Office style features
Often discussing the theme of office style, we surrender to extremes - either completely limiting ourselves, or allowing a lot of liberties. In order to continue to avoid such mistakes, one should remember the following basic rules of office style:
- Even if your company has a strictly regulated dress code color and skirt length, you can always use different models of clothes and accessories.
- Office, win-win colors are black, gray, beige, brown, navy blue and white. However, if your company does not have a strictly accepted dress code color, you can safely experiment with different tones of other colors. The main thing is to follow the color combination rule and not use more than three colors in one image.
- In business style, deep cuts, open shoulders, overly short skirts and tight-fitting pants are prohibited.
- Business style does not recognize sandals and any other open shoes. And in some companies, a prerequisite for a dress code is to wear tights even in the hot season.
- Going to work in the same clothes for more than two consecutive days does not comply with the rules of business etiquette.At the same time, it is not necessary because of this rule to constantly buy new things. It is enough to make things that can be worn in different sets.
