Office Wear for Men

- Wear long-sleeved simple or plain shirts (in light blue or white color) is a good choice for an office environment.
- You should select ties wisely to contrast with your suit or shirt. (silk and high quality with a few dark and contrasting colors)
- Wear business formal shoes with or without laces (preferably black or brown) and wear dark-colored socks of a mid-calf length.
- An exclusive watch for an office environment would be a perfect fit. Match the color of your belt with your shoes.
Office Wear for Women
- Wear a Two pieced suit (in grey, navy, or black colors) in the office. If you choose to wear pants in the office, you should hem them to prevent the cuffs from dragging on the floor. If you choose to wear a skirt, its color should match your blazer, and ensure it covers your thighs when you sit.
- The shirt must be well-tailored (in white or light colors in blue shades); be simple and avoid showing cleavage.
- Hosiery should be impartial or neutral-colored that suit your dress well.
- Wear shoes that fit your suit perfectly. Avoid wearing too high heels jewelry and do not carry antique or stylish purses.
