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.

Use these opportunities to your advantage to draw attention away from your body’s less desirable aspects.

A substantial sweater is a particularly good investment right now; besides giving you comfort, it conveniently hides additional heft that you may not want to display.

All you have to do is think about where and who you’re going to be with and just step it up one notch. But make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting, like you’re boss. From: kinowear.com

Start at the middle of the back of your neck, measure over your shoulder and elbow, and down your arm to your wrist bone. Or, take a shirt that fits you very well, fold at the elbow to 90 degrees, and measure from the middle back of the collar to the cuff.
