Dressing Better in the Office


Travelling around the office, as part of my business I notice a very poor standard of dress with a lot of office employees. It is not so much for wearing the wrong clothes, but more because of wearing the wrong clothes.

a few simple steps can transform the professional image projected by the individual and do not have to be expensive (but can be if you want !).

, I will try to highlight common mistakes made ​​with the dress in the business place and suggest ideas for all budgets to correct these issues. We will take every garment in return.

T-SHIRTS

Most wore shirts too baggy sleeves too long, neck and shoulders are too wide and large ....

Ready-to-wear shirts are sold by neck size and quite a few occasions, sleeve length also. Unfortunately, for a given neck size variation in body measurements can be huge, so it is unlikely that the Ready-to-wear shirt will be sufficient off-the-peg.

However, most forms of problems can be fixed by the competent tailor or seamstress. When buying a ready-to-wear shirts a second measurement (with a collar and sleeves) is important, but can not be specified. This is the width of the shoulders or the yoke, the distance between the ends of the shoulder, and if you like and fitting shirt, then it is essential that the correct one for you.

chest, waist and seat, all can be changed (unless they are too small!), so you should try to make a few shirts in the collar / sleeve combination and seek the best fit in the shoulders. Your tailor can fix the rest. Correct sleeve length, by the way is where the thumb meets the wrist. quality ready-to-wear shirt is likely to cost £ 40 - £ 80, depending on the fabric and the country of manufacture. It must be 100% cotton. Try T.M Lewin budget RTW shirts.

If you want a good fitting shirt straight then made ​​to measure could be a good choice, especially if there are no ready-to-wear shirt shoulder meets your requirements, or may have extremely long sleeves . Another advantage is made ​​to measure a greater selection of fabric and collar / cuff styles. You can get 'cheap', but the quality fabrics and quality construction expected to pay £ 100 +.

the best fit shirt is bespoke shirts - on your own body shape and size of the unique personal pattern. There should be no restrictions on the style here, however, expect to pay £ 125 + for a quality shirt. Many will also seek shirtmakers least 3 to 5 shirts on the initial order.

issues Off the rack suit in terms of fit are similar shirts. Most important is the re-measurement of shoulder width. If you get this correct, then the relevant changes to tailor can do a good job of everything else. good source of RTW suits the Marks & Spencer in the UK - budget £ 200 to £ 400th It is also important from a business suit is getting the correct color. Navy or Dark Grey are the best for the job, avoid black, brown, and may be difficult to pull uu business environment.

Only 100% wool is the correct one for the office - avoid polyester or similar at any cost - it can be cheap, but it is cheap for good reason

.

to measure the great affordable way to well-fitting suit. It involves making a suit from scratch, but with pre-defined patterns. The main benefit is measured by the availability of high quality materials and the ability to customize some of the features of suits. Expect to pay between £ 400 to £ 1000 for made ​​to measure, depending on the fabric and quality workmanship.

The ultimate bespoke suit. If you go this route you should get a suit that fits perfectly, but make sure you go to a reputable tailor and expect to pay at least £ 2000 for a truly hand-made bespoke.

A very simple one that can be bothered to wear a tie tend to do really bad. Use a 4-node in the hand, drag it to the shirt collar and try to get a dimple on top. The length of the tie should be such that only reaches the tops of your pants. 100% Silk only please.

shoes

This seems to be where people, even after he got up right, it seems to fall down. Cheap (and I mean under £ 120) shoes just look terrible. Buy some traditional Goodyear Welted shoes and they will last a lifetime. Polish them and they will also look good. If you are on a budget try Loakes, if feeling flush recommend Crockett & Jones.
