Women wear jeans to work?

So if you doubted you could wear jeans to work, then think again... In fact, jeans can add that dynamic and fun aspect to your work wear. It is very much how you wear them that makes all the difference. Here are few simple things you can do to look professional and current in wearing jeans to work.

Boyfriend Blazer: this is very useful for updating dresses as well as jeans.

Embrace Sequins: is an instant way to upgrade your outfit.

Embellished Cardigan: lends charm to a pair of jeans.

Sophisticated Shirt: is a no-fail piece for the office.

Little Leather Jacket: gives a jeans-and-a-t shirt look a luxurious feel. Although, do avoid heavy motorcycle jackets.

Silk Blouse: will give your jeans a feminine feel. If your workplace is more formal, go for a crisp pair of dark-wash skinny jeans.

Dressing For Success

The following tips will help you with dressing for when you are at work:

*Employers often feel that grooming and dress sense cannot be taught or is difficult to change and want to be able to see you ‘fitting in’ with a team and their company. Dressing in a CURRENT manner and not high fashion is a good idea.

*Dress appropriately for the specific job you are applying for. Look at what other successful men/women wear in the field wear and mirror their style.

*Wear colours which enhance your hair and skin tone. Try mixing different colours.

*Keep your outfit simple but add personality with carefully chosen accessories.

*Show you are on top of your game at work - you can do this by showing you know what is currently happening in the world of fashion - since 93% of communication is visual.

*Think laterally: split up a suit by wearing the trousers with a mismatched cashmere sweater and coat. The result is still smart but more relaxed. Or, for a smart but kooky and current look for a 'creative role', replace tailored trousers with a pair of harem trousers since this will give classic workwear a creative edge.

*Heels are instant confidence boost., so it might be a good time to invest in a pair.

*Tips for men: a coloured shirt (such as shades of blue) can make you appear more friendly and approachable. For more authority a white shirt with a dark jacket or suit works well. Your belt and shoes should be good quality leather and be in similar colour tone and wear dark socks.

Most of important of all - you need to feel comfortable in your clothes, whether formal, smart casual or somewhere in-between.
