Nowadays, when the ideas of feminism are quite popular in modern Russian society, no one is surprised that women have their own business, occupy leadership positions in government agencies, and are often the only “breadwinners” of their families, while their husbands are in search of a suitable job. In other words, today a huge number of representatives of the fairer sex belong to the category of “business women”, having shouldered some of the male responsibilities on their “fragile shoulders”.
However, to succeed in the entrepreneurial field, it is very important to know how to dress correctly.
Even for a girl to get a job as a simple secretary, she must wear office style, and employers strictly monitor this.
In any case, there is no reason for pessimism, since gone are the days when the dress code allowed only one classic combination: a skirt and a jacket in dark shades. Modern office style has somewhat expanded the boundaries of the choice of clothing and its color scheme.
Of course, today almost every young lady wants to know what she can and should wear to work. However, before we begin to consider this issue, a few words about when and how the office style of clothing appeared.
A little history
People first started talking about clothes for business ladies at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Until this moment, a woman was viewed exclusively as a homemaker: she washed, cleaned, cooked, and raised children. However, gradually, conversations about women's emancipation began to flare up in society more and more often, and soon after this, the range of interests and responsibilities of representatives of the fairer sex expanded significantly. Naturally, there was a need for a wardrobe change.
The style of a long straight dark-colored skirt and a white blouse was invented by the English tailor John Redfern, and initially this outfit was intended not for work, but for leisure. Gradually, it began to gain popularity among office workers, but Redfern’s suit was seriously competed by an outfit made by Chanel herself. The office style of that time, thanks to her know-how, looked quite elegant: a straight knee-length skirt was in perfect harmony with the sleeveless jumper that replaced the blouse.
Features of business style in clothing
No wonder they say that “you meet people by their clothes.” And in a business environment, an elegant and appropriately dressed young lady is qualified by representatives of the business community as purposeful, able to make timely decisions, and also a charismatic person. It is the office style of dress that prompts this idea in the first minutes of business negotiations. In any case, choosing an outfit for business meetings or a suit in which you are going to go for an interview with an employer should be taken with the utmost responsibility.
“Fashion is a capricious lady”
You should always remember that fashion trends are fleeting and easily replace each other.
And vamp, and vintage, and casual, and glamor - all these trends have their own individual requirements, which are classical in nature. Office style of clothing in this sense is also no exception. It assumes conservative colors and styles, as well as impeccable material quality.
Don't know what to wear to work? Opt for high-waisted trousers, a pencil skirt, a striped shirt, a plain turtleneck or a sheath dress. To prevent your look from being overly strict, match your wardrobe with accessories such as a belt, watch, or scarf.
Many ladies will be interested to know what colors are allowed in business style. Of course, everyone knows that it is the color of milk and black. Olive, dark blue, cherry, gray, pale pink, beige tones are also called classics today. As for prints, three need to be mentioned here: checkered, small polka dots and stripes.
Shoes
Modern office style for girls also requires well-chosen shoes to go with the outfit. It is not prohibited to wear shoes with both flat soles and heels. However, be sure to focus on the size of the latter. The best option, which goes well with trousers and skirts, is a heel with a height of 4 to 6 cm.
Also, do not forget that the shoes should be in harmony with the clothes in color. If you are wearing an outfit of white shades, then the accessories for them should also be of a similar palette.
Classic pants
It is impossible to imagine office style clothing for girls without classic-cut trousers. In this case, you should purchase not black, but gray models. This is because every thread and lint will be visible against a dark background. For gray trousers, you can choose a coffee-colored vest. This combination can also be considered a classic, since this outfit can be paired with any plain turtleneck or blouse. However, it must be emphasized once again that accessories such as a belt or clutch should also be dark in color and preferably of a similar texture (leather shoes and leather bag).
Sheath dresses
Office style for women is unthinkable without such a clothing attribute as a sheath dress. They were invented back in 1928, and to this day many ladies wear them with pleasure. The advantage of this outfit is obvious: it goes perfectly with blouses, shirts, and turtlenecks. The look can be complemented with luxurious beaded beads.
If you want to wear a sea green blouse under your dress, we can recommend decorating your hand with a bracelet made of natural stones; it would also be a good idea to complement the look with a wide belt. As for the color of the sheath dress, it is optimal to focus on pastel colors, while the use of more saturated shades is allowed, but you need to know when to stop.
Blouse
In business style, such a wardrobe attribute as a blouse is welcome. Such clothing is universal in nature; it is customary to wear it both for negotiations with business partners and for everyday work. If we talk about the material, it is better to give preference to products made of polyester; it perfectly follows the contours of the body and does not wrinkle, which is very important when meeting with business partners.
Costume
Office clothing for women includes such an integral component of the wardrobe as a suit. It should fit a woman’s figure simply flawlessly.
Today's fashion trends allow for various variations of this classic model. You can wear narrow, pleated or straight-cut skirts with a fitted or cropped jacket. A combination of narrow and wide trousers with the above outerwear is also allowed. It is noteworthy that fashion trends include replacing classic pants with straight knee-length shorts, which should be made of dense, plain material. It is optimal to choose dark-colored models. If you want to wear tights, then their range should be similar to shorts.
If we are talking about business negotiations, then, naturally, such an outfit is unacceptable, and it is better to use the classic version.
Taboo for business style
Of course, when choosing an office style of clothing, you should always remember what its rules do not accept. Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the things you buy. Too cheap ones wear out very quickly, which proves the dishonesty of the manufacturers. It’s better to buy an ordinary thing, but made of good quality material.
Also keep an eye on the color combination of your outfit. Some tones may look simply ridiculous.
Also, you cannot wear sportswear to work in the office. Naturally, your business negotiations are doomed to failure if you conduct them in tights and sneakers.
Life in a modern city leaves a certain imprint on all areas of a woman’s life and the wardrobe is no exception. Business style clothing for girls and older women has its own distinctive features. Much is dictated by a strict dress code, but some is influenced by seasonal fashion trends. The proposed office fashion for 2019 is distinguished by a specific color palette and the ability to complement the look with various accessories, including textile ones.
Women's business clothing is traditionally divided into types used depending on the current situation. There are images for negotiations and everyday visits to the office, business trips and corporate events. All these subtleties should be taken into account. You can read about how to choose women's clothing for a business wardrobe for 2019 in this article. You can also look at the photos of new products and types of office style, some models of suits and skirts, blouses and jackets: 
What forms the business style of clothing for girls in 2019 (with photo)
What makes up your everyday wardrobe? Of course, from the basic elements of clothing, which, if chosen correctly, should be combined with each other and complement each other. Women's business style for girls in 2019 is no exception - there are no trendy new items, everything is quite standard and prosaic. These are classic trousers and pencil skirts, traditional white blouses and shirts complemented by pastel shades. However, for those places where smart casual style is allowed in everyday wear, the blouse can be rich blue, dark blue, burgundy and green.
All kinds of suits have firmly integrated into the women's business style of clothing. It is more profitable to have a three-piece or four-piece suit. In this case, the set includes a skirt and trousers, a jacket and a vest. These office wardrobe staples paired with a few blouses, turtlenecks and shirts create a solid foundation for an everyday, wearable look. You can complement it with a beautifully knitted silk scarf and sophisticated pumps.
In summer, sandals and open-toed shoes are appropriate footwear. In the autumn, these can be classic ankle boots and boots with a top height just below the knee. Over the knee boots in this version are a rather awkward option for choosing shoes
Look at the photo of the new business style clothing for girls for 2019:
The presented looks include a variety of blouses and jackets, skirts and trousers. But what styles are best to choose in this or that case - we will consider further. 
Types of business clothing: classic office, formal and casual
Even in such an area as business, there is always room for creativity and imagination. Types of business style clothing for a modern woman are divided according to their purpose. It turns out that it is not at all necessary to constantly wear a strict jacket, buttoned up with all the buttons. There is a so-called casual business style of clothing for women, which implies a looser form.
Small prints on a skirt and jacket, multi-colored blouses, bracelets and rings would be appropriate here. As part of this look, sundresses and vests, sleeveless vests and skirts with an elegant type of cut are often used - godet, pleating, pleating, flared. This also includes knitted cardigans and vests, thin sweaters, etc. The opposite is formal business attire, and in the middle is classic office attire. Look at the photo for examples of such bows and choose exactly what is closest to your situation: 
Modern clothing styles for business people are at times actively transformed under the influence of the dominant fashion trends of the year. In 2019, a similar imbalance is observed mainly in the area of comfort. Elastic, practical fabrics that wrinkle less and practically do not hinder movement are becoming fashionable. Knitted blazers and skirts become the basis for many office looks. A thin turtleneck or knitted top often replaces the classic one.
Let's consider the classic office style of clothing, which involves a certain combination of colors and cut of products. It includes all straight skirts and trousers, formal blouses and shirts made of cotton and silk, plain scarves, fitted double-breasted jackets. No deviations in the direction of replacing the top with a light sweater or blouse are allowed here.
Main color palette: black, gray, brown, dark blue, white. It is better to avoid all shades of pink, blue, purple and green here. Look at the photo for examples of classic business style clothing for women: 
The strictest is the official business style of clothing, which includes only items of a certain format. Its distinctive feature is the high price of the suit and expensive fabrics. Here it would be unacceptable to take a suit made of cotton canvas and complement it with an openwork T-shirt.
Strict lapels of the English collar of the jacket, a complete absence of decorative trim on the skirt or trousers, a perfect fit and a white shirt without ruffles or flounces. This is the look that will be considered an official business look. Please note that it is inappropriate to use any other shoes here other than strict black pumps or boots made of smooth genuine leather without straps or other decorative trim. 
A suit with a jacket, skirt and trousers in a business office style
A business office style suit can include both trousers and skirts. Moreover, experienced fashionistas can successfully combine a jacket from one suit with a couple of skirts, carefully selected according to the texture of the fabric and color scheme. The situation is similar with trousers.
When choosing a suit with a skirt, you should think about the possibility in the future of combining a jacket with trousers, and sometimes with jeans of a standard cut. The photo shows options for combining these things in casual and classic office style looks for girls and women:
Jacket styles include jackets, blazers, and basque models. All this is quite appropriate for a casual style of office clothing. If there are no special requirements, then the jacket can be linen in the summer, satin, stretch or even denim. Especially popular in 2019 will be denim jackets with an English cut and a plain wash. Suitable denim colors are black and dark shades of gray. 
Blouses should be selected with special care. It should be remembered that the shirt itself should be strict and go well with the skirt. A harmonious look can be completed with a scarf or tie. Also, do not neglect the possibility of using vests and sleeveless vests.
Among the colors, the favorite is white, nude, beige, sky blue. Small checks and thin vertical stripes are welcome. From fabrics you can choose cotton, silk, satin, chiffon, soft thin knitwear. Any prints should be left for free time.
Models remain a definite trend in office fashion in 2019. They should be mid-knee length. The preferred fabric is fine wool for autumn-winter and linen for spring-summer. Currently popular colors are wet asphalt, rich blue, standard black, brown. In some cases, the burgundy color of a wineberry would be appropriate. A minimal number of buckles, wide shoulder straps, a semicircular neckline, patch pockets, a fitted silhouette - all this will be relevant throughout the year. 
Pants for the office are a rather difficult choice, since you should immediately abandon the idea of purchasing fashionable flares or tight-fitting pipes. Standard leg width, straight fit and high waist are the basic requirements. The length should reach the middle of the heel used. Preferred colors are burgundy, gray, white, black, brown.
Colors, accessories and shoes in a woman’s business wardrobe
Colors and shades decide a lot. The same style of skirt can be strict for the office if it is made in gray tones, or festive if it is a shiny material with a rich scarlet tint. The most popular colors are the whole gamut of calm tones, from pure black to all sorts of shades of gray. White and pastel, brown and dark blue are always in demand. Green may be in demand depending on the corporate style of the company.
Accessories and shoes play a huge role. A woman's modern business wardrobe must have a collection of neckerchiefs and silk scarves that can instantly transform her look. You also need two pairs of pumps (beige and black), formal sandals, boots for trousers, knee-high boots, ankle boots (as needed).
Choosing tights is another difficult question. In business-style clothing, it is not customary for women to appear at work without tights, even in the hot summer. Therefore, for the warm season, it is advisable to purchase several pairs of flesh-colored nylon tights with a minimum amount of DEN. In winter and late autumn, it is also customary to wear nylon or silk tights with a higher fabric density indoors. There shouldn’t be any woolen stockings, much less warm gaiters, here. The exception is when trousers are worn. Underneath them - yes, cotton tights can be worn to provide warmth.
For accessories, you should choose neutral items that do not attract attention. These can be stylish brooches, small in size, or thin gold bracelets. Hair accessories should always be in the same color scheme as the overall look. Do not use bows, headbands with flowers, or hairpins in acidic colors.
The look will look more interesting if you don’t just fasten the belt, but tuck the tip into the buckle or tie it casually.
Fashionable business looks in 2020 will give you the joy of freedom in choosing combinations of things and color blocks, prints and inlays, accessories, shoes and jewelry.
The modern business image in work clothes is formed on the basis of simple and concise things. As a basis, you can take even the simplest jeans of a traditional blue color or straight trousers of a classic cut. You can add a white blouse or a thin striped shirt to them. The whole ensemble is completed with stylish shoes. It should be on a medium-sized heel (4-6 cm). You can add an accessory such as a silk scarf or tie.
Fashionable business looks in 2020 are based on the classic principle of color combinations. In most cases it is a light top and a dark bottom.
You can create a stylish office look for a business lady using a specially tailored suit. It may include a straight-cut skirt, classic trousers, a vest and a jacket. These wardrobe elements in combination with different blouses, shirts and turtlenecks will allow you to create a stylish and new look every day.
Look at the business looks for women in the photo, which presents stylish looks for girls, style trends and new items proposed by famous fashion designers: 
Business looks with skirts and trousers - basic
There are so-called basic business looks with skirts and trousers. But it is important to know exactly which styles of these women’s clothing should be chosen, how to wear them correctly and what to combine with them. Therefore, we suggest that you first analyze the most current business looks with trousers and skirts, and then move on to more complex color and stylistic combinations.
A pencil skirt is considered a classic skirt for work. It can be straight or slightly flared in the hip area. Interesting models are complemented by peplum and flounces. Godet and the sun have been coming into office fashion in the last 2 years. In the coming season, it is possible to use pleating and wide flares. All of these options will be valid. 
Skirts must be combined with shirts, turtlenecks and blouses that match the color scheme. And there are only two options:
- a monochrome look, very fashionable in 2020, involves choosing a shirt 2 tones lighter than a jacket or skirt;
- contrast look - the shirt should be a pastel shade, and the bottom should be a classic dark color.
Pants can also be classic, skinny, banana or traditional jeans. Of course, when choosing a model, its color and length, the rules established by the organization regarding the corporate dress code are of great importance. But we will rely on relative freedom in these matters. 
So, in 2020, stylish office looks for work based on trousers will be obtained if several conditions are met at once. Rule one: the narrower the cut of the model, the darker the color should be. Conversely, the wider the legs, the lighter the shade. Wide cotton or linen palazzo pants in white or nude colors are considered real chic. They are complemented by a wide black belt and a nude wrap blouse. The result is a stylish and original business look for the office.
Traditional shoes, in addition to business looks with a skirt and trousers, include pumps, elegant patent leather ankle boots with a wide top or sneakers. Yes, don't be surprised. This is the trend of 2020. Snow-white sneakers with low soles will become familiar business shoes for girls and women. For men, this still remains taboo. 
Fashionable office looks for girls for 2020 (with photos)
A correctly chosen office look for a girl is her kind of “calling card”, because, as you know, people are always greeted by their clothes. The more details and nuances are taken into account when choosing a set of clothes to form a wardrobe capsule for work, the higher the chances of successful career advancement.
Fashionable office looks will be a mixture of sporty and business styles, classics and the relative freedom of democracy. The right combination of a pleated skirt with a formal tweed jacket will allow you to pack the perfect look for the office. In addition to it, we can recommend taking a deliberately voluminous trunk, which plays the role of a handbag. For footwear, we recommend patent leather boots or stocking boots with high tops that tightly fit a woman’s graceful leg for the fall-winter.
Look at the successful office looks in the photo, which shows how diverse this capricious fashion lady can be: 
The refinement of details and cut lines allows you to combine different styles. Original prints and color blocking create interesting accents at the waist, hip line or leg length. Large accessories that catch the eye and attract attention can only be used in combination with a democratic look. Business fashion in 2020 will be characterized by restraint and asceticism in this matter. Light chains, miniature pendants, masculine-style cufflinks, brooches and pins on jacket lapels would be more appropriate here. 
First of all, interesting colors and their combinations will help you create a beautiful image of a business girl. The so-called 5 color blocks are coming into fashion. There can be a real riot of colors and their shades. For example, brown trousers can be easily complemented with a function-colored blouse and a wine-berry-colored jacket. Remember the most important rule of this brightness ball. There should be clear colors without shades or gradation of the spectrum. Pure brown, pure purple, pure green. All colors should be bright and consistent in the same tone. 
When composing business looks for girls, it is worth taking into account new items and examples of similar clothing sets presented by fashion designers. For spring and summer, there are certain recommendations presented in the cruise collections of world design houses.
Interesting layout options in contrasting colors allow you to look dignified and at the same time impressive. For example, white and black this season are not traditionally divided along a horizontal line into the top and them. Other combinations are welcome: black and white check, houndstooth pattern in the style of Coco Chanel, stripes, polka dots, floral print, etc. 
When creating an office look for spring 2020, it is worth taking into account the dress code adopted by the organization, which dictates the conditions for the color scheme, skirt length and the correct selection of accessories. But there are no rules to which there would be no exceptions. Therefore, all fashion trends and tendencies can be easily translated into a business look for the office. There would be desire and knowledge.
Femininity, organization, composure, elegance - all these features of business fashion this year are designed to create a certain working mood. But at the same time, new styles do not let us forget that a woman is a representative of the weaker sex and needs a comfortable dose of softness and style in any situation. 
You can achieve the desired style using one interesting design technique - monochrome. Monochrome office looks will be in demand throughout 2020. Let's figure out what it is and how to form it correctly.
First of all, monochrome does not mean that all elements of the bow must be the same tone. One color - yes, but different tones and halftones create a playful mood and, due to the soft gradient, emphasize the grace and beauty of the female figure. Monochrome looks can be white, gray, beige, powder, brown, turquoise, etc. 
Spring office looks will be distinguished by geometric prints. Various geometric abstractions consisting of circles and cylinders, ovals and parallelepipeds will create a stylish visual perception of the bow. The central item of the spring wardrobe capsule for the office is a dress or sundress in a business style. The main color is powder pink and pastel gray. The leading print is a triangle. 
Office looks for summer 2020 will also be built around the dress. But here the cut option will be interesting. This is a long-known, forgotten and again returned style of jacket dress. For the summer it can be sleeveless or short. For early spring, it is better to choose cashmere, wool or tweed models with long sleeves.
A classic shirt dress will compete with a long jacket in spring and summer. Its distinctive cut features: turn-down stand-up collar, front placket fastening with small buttons. The most sophisticated print of the coming season of office fashion is a thin strip or even a rib. The most popular colors for spring-summer: blue, peach, nude, beige and crystal white. The most popular accessory for a shirtdress is a thin patent leather strap with an elegant buckle. Long sleeves ending with button cuffs are a cashmere and flannel option for early spring. For the summer, it is better to choose a safari-style shirt dress: with short sleeves to the middle of the forearm, patch pockets and a stylish belt.
Look at examples of stylish office looks for spring-summer in the photo, which illustrates the main new items and trends: 
Stylish office looks for the fall-winter season (with photos)
In the cold season, bows in a business office style simply must meet the requirements of comfort. For this purpose, special materials are selected that can protect against cold, high levels of humidity and gusts of wind. Such outfits primarily create comfortable conditions for carrying out their professional duties. But you shouldn’t forget about your sense of style and compliance with fashion trends. 
Women's business looks based on a trouser suit come to the fore at this time of year. The basis is a suit made from natural or mixed wool fabrics. It should be wrinkle-free and keep its shape perfectly throughout the entire working day. And it should also be uniquely combined with the seven tops, blouses, shirts, turtlenecks and jumpers available in the wardrobe seasonal capsule. 
Using it to create fashionable office looks for every day, a girl should not have any difficulty in identifying a shirt or blouse that matches the color scheme. The width of the trouser legs should be sufficient to allow you to wear warm tights under them if necessary.
The second option for creating an office look in winter is a dress, which can be combined in a unique way with trousers and even jeans. For the winter period this is very relevant and in demand. The dress should have a classic straight cut. Length – to the middle of the knee. The absence of a belt, fasteners and collars is another obvious feature of office fashion for autumn-winter 2020. Recommended materials: cotton, linen, cashmere, suit fabric, etc. Jacquard models should be abandoned as they are temporarily leaving the fashion scene.
Look at some office looks in the photo, this will allow you to create your own unique take on the formation of such a wardrobe capsule: 
Meanwhile, stylish office looks in the fall can be designed on the platform of cropped trousers, including culottes. All styles must include an arrow. Only well-ironed office trousers will be fashionable and stylish. All other options will emphasize sloppiness and carelessness in creating your own style.
The image of a modern business woman involves starting with a strict business suit, which includes trousers, a skirt, a jacket and, of course, a vest. This detail is very important in this year's office fashion.
Look at what an office look can look like in the photo, illustrating options and examples of combining different types of elements of a woman’s wardrobe: 
The best looks for working in the office
A stylish office business look is not only about the right suit, the length of the skirt or trousers. This also includes the choice of shoes, accessories, type of hairstyle and makeup. And these moments can play a very important role in the overall external perception of a girl’s image. Therefore, we will deal with them separately.
Let's start with the fact that a business office look in 2020 does not imply blind obedience to the dress code. It is important to bypass the system in such a way as to preserve your individuality and at the same time not break the general rules. Various accessories and shoes help solve this problem. The variety of heel design options allows you to experiment. You can also look towards the trend of pairing shoes with socks. Black pumps and white socks or knee socks will fit perfectly into an office look based on a black pencil skirt and complemented with a snow-white blouse. Not to find fault, but at the same time it’s fresh and interesting. 
You can create fashionable business looks using tight-fitting styles of jackets, dresses and sundresses. This is a very interesting trend that allows you to bring many bold ideas to life. You can add playfulness and freedom to any look with a fluffy snow-white blouse made of chiffon or natural silk. Let it fall in flowing waves and cover up what should be hidden. Sheer chiffon also creates intrigue, but should be used in moderation.
Conservative business looks for girls should be assembled according to the principle of the English style. Here all details should be concise and interconnected with each other. Tweed jackets and blazers are complemented by plain blouses and shirts. The skirt should be strictly up to the middle of the knee, and the trousers should cover the entire ankle joint. Shoes here are appropriate only with medium stable heels, classic style.
Look at what a business bow can be - the photo shows various options for its formation: 
Casual business outfit involves the use of clothing elements in lighter colors. Various cut shapes are appropriate here, including fairly loose ones. But the Friday version of a business look for the office can be completely democratic. The use of classic jeans and a snow-white pullover is allowed here. Also interesting are the combinations of a pencil skirt and a plaid flannel shirt.

Work takes up a lot of our time and, of course, our appearance directly affects our relationships with colleagues and our mood. That’s why you really want to pamper yourself with beautiful outfits so that you want to go to work with pleasure. Self-confidence earns approval from superiors and promotes career advancement.

An office dress with sleeves should definitely be in the wardrobe of every self-respecting fashionista. In 2018, the trend is long sleeves with a loose fit, giving a boring office outfit a feeling of airiness and lightness. Dresses with short sleeves are becoming no less popular - a great option for spring 2018.
Sleeveless dresses
Such styles are no less beautiful and feminine. Open shoulders do not look vulgar, but rather emphasize the line of the shoulders. In 2018, such a dress can be combined with a blouse or a short jacket on top.
Office dresses for plus size
It ceases to be something formless and dark, rather the opposite. Sheath dresses that will favorably emphasize curves and at the same time hide imperfections will be popular. Experts recommend that plump girls pay attention to models with accents at the waist, using geometric lines. It is better to leave flashy bright shades for non-working hours and pay attention to deep blue, green, and burgundy colors.
Long office dresses
The usual length of an office dress to the knee or slightly higher will still be relevant. The designers suggested lengthening the dress to the ankle, thereby making it more convenient and comfortable, because this is the main thing for an office look. Famous fashion houses sew office dresses from soft flowing fabrics, choosing bright prints in colors, focusing on satin cuffs and neckline. The latter gives the outfit the necessary office rigor.
Evening office dresses

Office clothing style 2018
Business style 2018 can be divided into 3 types:
- Strict business style;
- Conventionally business style;
- Casual business style.
Strict business style
This style is typical for employees in the banking or insurance industries. They cannot afford bright colors or noticeable prints on their clothes. Things should be discreet and not attract attention. Transparent items are not allowed. The dominant colors of this style are black, gray, white, dark blue. Long dresses, knee-length skirts, no cutouts. Shoes: black closed classic pumps with low heels.
Conventionally business style
This style of clothing is more casual; with it you can wear things in light shades and bright colors. The main condition is that the image is harmonious and that the things are combined with each other. You can wear open-toed shoes, open-shoulder tops are allowed, and knee-length skirts are also allowed. You can afford some prints in clothes.
Business casual style
This style gives more freedom in choosing clothing styles and colors. Pencil skirts can be diluted with skirts - “tulips” or flared options. Dresses do not have to be plain; small, calm patterns are allowed. Pants can be ankle-length or higher, tapered or straight. Shoes can be chosen with or without heels, but closed ones are preferable. The color of the shoes can be not only black, but also beige and white. Jackets can be worn in different lengths - cropped or mid-thigh.
Office dress code rules 2018: what not to wear to the office
Business style involves some restrictions, namely:
- A deep cut in the décolleté area is unacceptable;
- Slits on a dress or skirt look inappropriate;
- A low-waisted trouser or skirt will not emphasize business ability;
- Loose or fitted outfits are welcome; tight-fitting clothes are best reserved for outings outside of working hours;

In addition to all of the above, do not forget about moderation in perfume and discreet makeup.
Fashionable accessories for office style 2018
Designers suggest diluting formal business suits with beautiful and appropriate accessories. Office clothing for women and girls 2018 allows the following accessories:
- A good quality bag made of natural materials - it can be made of varnish or regular leather, a tablet bag or a travel bag, depending on the overall look;
- The watch must be expensive and of a well-known brand;

- Tights - can be flesh or black, no patterns or ornaments. Choose the density based on the time of year;
- Underwear - designers prefer regular underwear, without lace, or seamless;
- If the dress code allows, scarves or white collars are acceptable.
As we can see, the 2018 trends involve wearing formal business suits, giving girls an elegant and feminine look. Suits with elements of a men's wardrobe especially enhance the image of a business woman. But, despite all the rigor, designers allow you to choose a suit made from soft and pleasant fabrics - velvet, corduroy. Despite the office style, you should always remember that we are, first of all, women, and this needs to be emphasized. Even if only in fabrics.
When you mention business style, the image of Lyudmila Prokofievna from “Office Romance” involuntarily appears before your eyes: boring, gloomy and faceless. In fact, business style can be fun, and office-style clothing, despite the definition, is not only suitable for the office.
The main thing is to understand the levels of severity and determine the appropriateness of the image of the situation.
With the right approach, office clothes add authority and status to a woman. A business suit makes everyone look more important and presentable - making it an ideal choice of attire for an interview where you only have to make an impression once.
According to the level of rigor in business style clothing for women, three areas are distinguished:
- Business Formal;
- managerial business (Executive business casual);
- informal (conventional) business (Business casual).
Formal style
The white-collar style, the most conservative, strict, does not tolerate the manifestation of individuality. Often fraught with faceless images, but they can still be played up with the help of accessories.
Features of formal style in women's clothing:
- A mandatory item of clothing is a business suit (pants, with a skirt or a formal sheath dress). Pants should not be tight or too narrow.
- The fabrics are used in subdued colors (with a predominance of dark colors).
- The best material for a suit is wool.
- Short sleeves in clothes are unacceptable even in summer.
- The length of the skirt or dress should be knee-length or slightly lower. In this case, tights are required, strictly matte flesh-colored, with a density of 5 denier.
- Some organizations require a white collar.
- The choice of shoes is with a stable heel with a height of three centimeters.
- Manicure and makeup in natural colors, light perfume.
- Hair must be tied up; loose hair is not allowed.
- Small sizes and quantities of no more than two positions are acceptable.
As you can see, there is absolutely no room for creativity. You can only play with the details, for example, choose interesting ones or find shoes with an original heel.
This style is often used in banking institutions, the legal field, politics, and insurance companies.
Many girls have a question: “on which hand to wear a watch.” There is no definite answer to this; it all depends on the individual preferences and characteristics of the girl. In we will tell you what psychologists and astrologers think about this.
Managerial style
There is already scope for fashionable experiments, since there are half as many restrictions. The remaining restrictions relate to the length of skirts and dresses, the presence of tights and pumps, the naturalness of makeup and the inconspicuousness of perfume.
- In the summer heat, short sleeves are acceptable.
- Brighter colors are allowed in manicure.
- You can even let your hair down if the situation is not too formal.
- may be larger and brighter.
- Various colors and designs, expensive luxurious fabrics, a variety of finishes and silhouettes, and all kinds of silk blouses are allowed and even encouraged.
- You can do without a suit, but a jacket is a must (in less formal situations, you can wear a vest instead).
This women's business style of clothing is appropriate for managers of organizations in the banking, legal and insurance sectors, as well as representatives of royal families. This type of business style is more suitable for informal meetings and presentations, but can also be used as a casual style in companies with a less strict dress code.
It can also be used as a basis for every woman when putting together outfits for free office Fridays, visiting exhibitions and concerts.
Informal business style
The least demanding and most relaxed office clothing style of the three styles. The only restrictions that remain are the requirements for the length of the dress and the presence of tights.
- The allowed materials are linen, corduroy, tweed, wool, and in some informal cases knitwear (cotton, viscose) is acceptable.
- Plain fabrics are not required; various patterns and colors are widely used.
- A jacket is optional; just wear a classic blouse, formal shirt or top.
- The choice of shoes is wider: ballet flats and or toe shoes are acceptable.
- Loose hair is acceptable in the hairstyle, and loose hair in accessories.
This style of clothing is used in organizations with a relaxed dress code and for “informal” Fridays, in everyday life - for going to the cinema or shopping.
A lot depends on the right swimsuit. The problem of choice is especially acute for girls with curvy figures. We recommend that you pay attention to the collection. A variety of styles will allow you to choose the right model for curvy women and girls with an anemic physique.
