Can't find the right to shop at ?

Looking for the right business look but just don't know where to start shopping ?
Something I realized that a lot of people were having difficulties with was not just putting an outfit together to wear to work but a place to go and shop for office clothes.

Yes, there are many store you can go to get office clothes but are they really affordable stores ?

I did some research and found some great places to shop for business attire.

For the ladies I found that places such as Jacob women`s clothing store was a nice place to shop if you were looking for a more simple, casual and traditional business look. Where as stores like Dynamite have more a modern and fashionable business look. They both are great places to find good buys to wear to work so I've added the links to these website at the bottom of the blog so check them out to get a general feel as to what can be considered as appropriate for an office workplace.

As for the men places such as Banana Republic & Le Chateau Men are very common business clothing stores. You can find a variety of dress shirt and suits available for any fit.


Hopefully these links helps those who are having trouble finding stores to shop at for business clothes. They are great places to find the perfect casual look that is needed for one in a workplace.

CASUAL APPAREL IN THE WORKPLACE

CASUAL APPAREL IN THE WORKPLACE

Your office do`s and don't s 

First day at work and your dress code says "dress appropriately" ?

What does that mean ?

To many it can mean to dress completely conservative or to other it can be dress in whatever you feel is comfortable.

Being comfortable is good but not necessarily the idea of appropriate dressing. An old t-shirt and baggy sweat pants sounds nice and cozy  but not suitable in an office environment.

 Over exposure is never appropriate at a workplace, 

not only does it disturb some of the employee's but is also distracting to others.

Appearance is key when it comes to first impressions. For example lets say you have a meeting in the morning with the CEO of the company you are working for, now would you present yourself dressed in what is most comfortable to you or would you dress sophisticated and professional.

Appearance is crucial when it has to do with being professional. Can you really take someone serious in a workplace if they show up to work in shorts and a t-shirt  ?

To be professional you must dress professionally, and yes comfortable is always nice but dress properly and accordingly.

A casual look is always suitable at any workplace because not only does it have a professional approach to it but it is not distracting or uncomfortable, so something like dress pants and a business top.

Next time before you go to work just stop to think and see if what your wearing is appropriate for the workplace or not. Try avoiding wearing any kind of summer clothing or hats and stay away from anything that is tight fitted. 

Remember you want to be taken seriously in the workplace rather than being the office clown who doesn't know how to dress.
