Business Dress: How to Add Your Own Style
Monday, September 15th, 2008Lately, we have been hearing the same question asked, “How do I incorporate my fashion sense into the “stuffy” business environment?” Even though it feels like many offices have moved into the business-casual dress code, we have found that many more are moving away from this dress code and are moving back into the strict business attire only. Why? Because many offices became confused on what was business-casual and what was weekend wear only.
Here are several ideas that will help jumpstart your wardrobe, and make you feel like the confident business person that you are!
Dilemma: Wearing the same black suit everyday?
Solution: Add color! This fall is packed with beautiful jewel tones that instantly update a basic black, grey or brown suit and keep you polished and professional!
Banana Republic

Dilemma: What accessories can make my style complete, without feeling overdone?
Solution: Accessories will complete outfits this Fall. A few to focus on:
Cashmere Scarves. Totally appropriate in the business environment. An easy way to update AND add color to your basic suit attire. We adore the ones from Bajra.
Jewelry. Add a statement piece. Unbutton your basic woven and tuck a necklace that is classic and bold.
Alexis Bittar has a piece that can go from work to evening.

If you’re not a necklace person, try adding bangles for an extra punch.
