Working women have so much to take care of, to think of and to decide for. In a day we take a whole range of assorted decisions- domestic, conjugal, maternal and professional. Besides choosing dress for our loved ones, we are also responsible to decide our own semiotics – at home and at office. One can expect support and genuine comment from the family (e,g, from the souse and in-laws), but the same cannot be expected to come so easily from office friends. We are aware of the fact that our semiotics reflects our personality.  

 

When you are a professional, all you look for is present yourself as a professional. In such a situation, the dress that you are wearing should reflect your professional integrity. A trendy or teen-cut might make you look cute, but that would fall short of providing you the professional attitude that you yearn for while working behind the desk. Being loaded with modern or traditional jewelries might not look professional.  However, it does not mean that professional is plain and bland. No matter what age group you belong to, no matter how bulky or skinny you are, you can style yourself the best with these top of the hat guidelines.

 

Colour: Colour!  Colour! Colour! Black (chic), grey (conservative), red (aggressive), and navy (trustworthy). These work well with the professional wear. You can go with soft colours like blue, pink, and ivory for the feminine touch with the mix of black. 

 

Jewels : If you are a huge fan of jewels than go for stud earrings or single bracelets, but don’t overdo it. You don’t want to make yourself look overdone.

 

Fit : Custom-made dress plays an important role to bring the best in your semiotics. Tailored dress is best when fitting to physique is the concern. But, yes please do pay attention that it fits properly and that the inner-wear borderlines are not visible on the out. Skirt should be loose enough to sit and jacket should have ample space to be buttoned when necessary. 

 

Labels : Designers label are great but NO! NO! in official wear . Stick to customized and tailored dresses. Save your branded dresses for rendezvous with friends.

The layer or the outing of your dresses is the most important aspect in winter-dressing. Here are some tip-offs to select some outer clothes for the cruel winter seasons.
