Women Clothing
 When it comes to women’s clothing,
the golden rule is to dress not only in
accordance with your personality, but
to your body type as well. Not every
fashion will suit every body type, so it
is important to understand which
style suits you.
Formal
Women have numerous options. Generally speaking, full-length
ball dresses, dinner dresses, shalwar qameez and cocktail dresses
of almost any colour are all considered appropriate.
Shoes
 While your shoes don’t necessarily have to match your dress,
it is a safe choice if you’re otherwise unsure. If you can’t find
a matching colour, opt for the classic black as the next best
option. Many women consider high-heels to be the most
appropriate footwear for formal occasions; but it is of the
utmost importance to be able to walk comfortably. So sandals
can be a good option as well.
Semi formal
 While the intention of a semi-formal event is to be slightly
less formal, many women still opt to dress more formally
than not.
 The beauty of a semi-formal occasion is that it can be a
chance to wear some of your more colourful jewellery and to
wear shoes other than high-heels.
Casual
 Casual
Casual dress is most often worn to BBQs and informal
dinners. Jeans with just about any top should be fine, so long
as it is comfortable and tidy. Always use your judgement and
never wear something that others may find offensive.
CASUAL WORKDAYS AND
SPECIAL EVENTS
 Casual workdays: days when companies relax their
dress code
 Still dress appropriately for work
 Do not wear tattered, stained, or torn clothing
 More formal attire may be required for special workrelated functions
 Avoid shirts with sayings or graphics that may offend
others
Business dressing
 Many businesses have a casual dress day. This does not
mean that you can wear whatever you want. In fact, most
businesses are quite careful to specify what is and what is
not appropriate. However, if you do find yourself in a
situation where you are unsure, follow the golden rule of
dressing to the standard of your colleagues. If you are
unable to ascertain what that is, it is best to err on the
side of caution by dressing more formally than not.
Choosing a Color
 Navy blue is a good color for a “starter” suit.
 This is a versatile color that can be dressed up or
down, depending on the situation
and job.
 Navy is considered a professional
and powerful color, but is not as
bold as black.
It’s all in the Details
 Hair
 Simple style


You don’t want to distract the
interviewer with obnoxious hair.
They should notice you for your
skills and experiences, not your hair.
It’s all in the Details: Final Touches
 Accessories
 Don’t overdo it!
 It’s best to choose 1 or 2 simple accessories like a watch
and stud earnings.
 Portfolio vs. Purse
 Opt for a sharp, professional looking portfolio instead of
your purse.
 Choose a good quality portfolio with compartments for keys or
lipstick.
 Carry copies of your resume and a pad for note taking.
Dressing to Impress
 Follow Company Policy.
 Your first reference point is the employee manual.
 When in doubt – ask your supervisor or a member of Human
Resources!
 Warning: business casual means different things in
different companies!
 Casual dress ranges from
coordinated skirt/pant sets to
khakis and polo’s.
 Business casual does not
mean jeans or tennis shoes.
