issue of the week: dressing for work

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:29:00 -0400

how do we feel about the implementation of a new feature? perhaps, we can face our dressing challenges together. e-mail me at sarazucker@gmail.com if you’d like help with an issue.

dressing for work can sometimes be a challenge, as your clothing is almost always quite different from weekend garb. most jobs do not require a suit, tie, or a blazer, so i’ve gathered some helpful articles and websites that will assist you in finding the perfect work wardrobe.

here are some useful articles from style phyle and cnn, and a great tutorial from about.com.

when shopping online, use similar tricks as when looking for vintage (thanks to whatiwore). women should always have a few great pencil skirts and conservative, yet interesting, blouses. fellas, stick to neutral colors and minimal patterns and designs. most importantly, invest in a tailor once any purchases have been made to ensure well-fitting clothing.

in addition to tons of satin being shown on the runways for this fall season, shades of mustard, canary, and pale yellow have lingered. my mother always told me that orange, yellow, and green were unwearable and unflattering, but i love a challenge. worn properly, yellow is an amazing accent color.

if you’re scared to jump into the pool, let’s take some baby steps. add a sheer scarf or simple tie, or perhaps a t-shirt/polo underneath a neutral sweater. i certainly don’t suggest dressing like a lemon.
