It's no secret that what you wear says a lot about who you are, yourself-esteem, and your professionalism. Additionally, your work clothes"brand" your image on the job. So if you want to be taken seriouslyand be successful in your career, you have to dress accordingly. But you don'thave to wear stodgy stuff or be endlessly confined in panty hose. As Mark Twainsaid, "Clothes make the man." And they also make the woman!Certainly the tradition of women wearing dresses or skirts at the office isstill holding strong, but the pantsuit sure has made a wonderful comeback,hasn't it? Hard to believe that they were incredibly controversial back in the60s. Remember the wide-bottom style in the 70s (yes, I'm dating myself here!)?Oh, do they bring back memories of all those 70s TV shows I grew up with likeMod Squad, Charlie's Angels and Mary Tyler Moore. Mary was a great rolemodel for independent working women asserting themselves in the workplace andstaying true to themselves in the process. Talk about influence. Oh, and didn'tshe look fab in a pantsuit?!Of course thepantsuit style has changed a lot since it arrived on the fashion scene. Nowpantsuits have a much more refined, elegant, and sophisticated look. I have toadmit this is my preferred outfit. Maybe it's the tomboy in me or the fact thatI like the warmth of having something on my legs rather than a skirt that canget crinkled in the car and at my desk.Ultimately, it doesn't matter what you prefer; dress, skirts, or pantsuits,adding shoes and accessories are also important in deciding how you'll presentthe total package.Here are a few tipsto keep in mind when sizing up what you should wear to work:Watch the bangles. In the movie Working Girl, two ambitious womenbattle it out to climb the corporate ladder. The movie is set in the 1980s, andin one scene, Katharine Parker (played by Sigourney Weaver), tells Tess McGill(played by Melanie Griffith) about her expected dress code, quoting Coco Chanel"Dress shabbily, they notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they notice thewoman." Tess, who has long frizzy hair, with her bangs back-combed high onher forehead, layers of make-up on, and several bracelets on her wrists, asksKatherine how she looks. Katharine says: "You look great. You might wantto re-think the jewelry." I find it ironic that Katharine only mentionsthe jewelry, however, there are ways to draw attention to yourself but noisyjewelry should not be one of them! Pantyhose or not? Some folks in the fashion industry thinknylons are old-fashioned and outdated, yet they are still a part of a traditional officewardrobe. I don't know about you, but I'm not one for wearing pantyhose unlessthe occasion specifically calls for it, hence my love of pants and pantsuits!Some women, like Michele Obama, don't wear pantyhose at all. Some women, whenwearing pants, will wear dress socks instead of nylons. If there is a dresscode where you work, you may have to wear pantyhose. If so, make sure they area proper fit and the right style for you. If you can't stand being hemmed in bythe control top, get a pair without!Don't throw things together at the last minute. With women's lives being so busy trying to juggle family, kids and work, it makes sense to keepyour wardrobe, make-up and hairstyle routine simple so you can do it quicklyand easily. However, you shouldn't skimp on being prepared. Gotan important meetingcoming up? Try on your outfit the night before, and mix and match accessoriesuntil you get the look that feels right. Make sure everything is laid out sothat there is no last-minute panic trying to find your earrings or scarf.There's no feeling worse than arriving at work and suddenly noticing animportant part of the ensemble is missing. Dress for yourpersonality. Whether you're working in an office where aspecific business dress code is in place or you have the freedom to dress asyou like, whatever you decide on, dressing "as you" is the mostimportant aspect of the professional image you want to portray.You don't have to bea fashionista, simply infuse your personality into everything youwear. At the same time, choose clothes that properly fit your body type. Theydon't have to follow the latest fashion, as long as they look good on you.Age-appropriate attire is best. Whatever you decide to wear, keep the styleconsistent. It doesn't have to be boring either. Go ahead and change things upfrom time to time, just keep your brand and goals in mind. Think about how youwant to be seenand perceived by those around you; your boss, yourcolleagues,and your customers. A successful professional imagewill do wonders for your career and make you a woman of influence in theprocess!
