Don’t Make These 6 Fashion Mistakes At Workplace!

Most of the women are cautious about their workplace look and manage themselves well while in office.

But some seem like the brand ambassadors of fashion and makeup brands.

We all know that looking presentable at work is absolutely necessary. After all, how you carry your clothes and your idea of style often speaks a lot about you as a person and as a professional too. While at the workplace, it is imperative that you don’t commit any fashion blunders, especially as far as your wardrobe, your accessories and your makeup are concerned.

Here is a detailed list of fashion mistakes at workplace and be the sensible diva with professional ethics at work!

1. Say A Strict No To Excessive, Heavy And Big Chunky Jewellery

While heavy jewellery that can completely transform your appearance, but it is definitely for work hours. It distracts, it is uncomfortable to work with and it makes too much noise for a working room.  If you love wearing too much jewellery, keep it for your nights out on the town. Dainty jewellery pieces can work wonders as a part of your work wardrobe. They’ll not only create a statement, but also go perfectly with your work wear attire. A delicate gold or silver chain and studs in your ears can work across a number of ensembles.

2. Shy Away From Deliberatly Revealing Outfits

Why do you have to put up a distracting skin show at office? Let’s concentrate on work in the office place and let others do the same too. If you must wear them, leave the revealing outfits for parties. While there’s no doubt that you can make work wear fun too, refrain from wearing pieces that show too much skin as they may appear unprofessional and downright tacky, especially in a work environment. Instead, play with fun silhouettes, colours, textures and subtle prints instead of deep necklines or short hemlines.

3. Let’s Forget The OTT Prints For The Office

It isn’t a street market fashion parade, it’s an office where people come to work, right? So why wear loud prints that shout attention? Soft floral prints, checks or stripes and of course solid coloured ensembles work well as a part of your office wardrobe. You should never be seen wearing too many bold prints be it animal or abstract, at work is. Save your print on print obsession in loud colours for a weekend getaway.

4. Where Do You Have To Reach With Sky-high Heels, Shun Them

Make sure you keep your sky-high heels in your party wardrobe and not in your work closet. There are plenty of work wear shoes – from flat ballerinas to wedges to platforms. Heels often create unnecessary noise and can be rather distracting to co-workers. But more importantly, they can be uncomfortable for you and embarrassing if you can’t walk confidently for long hours in them.

5. You Are A Grown Up Professional Now, Stop Dressing Like A Kid

“Cute” might be your “look,” but if you want people to trust you with grown-up responsibilities, then you need to dress like a grown up. That means no itsybitsy graphics, no heart-shaped jewellery, and no frilly little baby doll or colourful polka dot nonsense! Act and dress your age, more so, your profession too.

6. Your OTT Makeup Could Only Be Considered Professional Only If You Are Performing In A Drag Show

Wearing a lot of heavy makeup is distracting to those around you, and can make you look high-maintenance, which is not an attractive quality to employers. Subtle colours, nude look and pleasant appearance win you a lot of brownie points from your employers. Trust me on that. Plus, it saves you a lot of money that you might be shelling out on expensive makeup brands. Light base, natural or light pink lip colour, lightly lined eyes and a little bit of colour on the cheeks is just about perfect for an office look.

When you think about it, your company hired you because you had a professional resume. You must also want to have a professional appearance on the job to project a good image.

Therefore, avoid these fashion blunders at workplace and be the professional performing star!
