There’s this deeply ingrained preference for blacks, whites and browns that, while good for ‘safe’ office ensembles, usually turn out very drab. Spice up your outfits with a bit of color, and no one will notice that you wear the same suit jacket to work every day. From: ties-necktie.com Office wear relies on several layers of clothing: on top of your shirt is your suit jacket, under which you could slip a cardigan and over which a topcoat may be added.

If it has three, button the center one. From: createbusinessgrowth.com It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in a situation.
