DRESS CODE
Dress code is just a dress pattern to suit our choice
First what I will like to say this popular saying the way you dress is the way people will address you
So in any ways you wanna dress either casual, formal biz, just make sure you are dressed in a way that's will speak good about you
Our dressing matter most, it enhance our looks, make us responsible, and look attractive depending on how we dress.
There are four types of dress code but I will only be able to talk about two today
Dress code

(3) Business casual

Here are some general tips for both men and women for each category.stick close to the basic and ensure that you always dress appropriately
But I will only be talking about
1) business formal
2) business professional
For both men and women
1.Business Formal
If you work in law, regularly meet with executives, or otherwise hold a high-level position, you might be asked to come dressed “business formal” or in “boardroom attire.” This is the highest level of professional dress.
For Men:
A tailored one-, two-, or three-button suit in a solid, neutral color like black, gray, or navy.
Ties and other accessories should be both modest in color and style – solid, brighter colors (a red tie, for example), or patterned muted neutrals (a navy plaid tie) – as well as high-end in quality. No novelty ties, such as sports team patterns.
White, collared button-up shirts.
Shoes should be closed-toe oxfords in brown or black, not loafers.
Hair should be well-groomed. In general, short hair is most acceptable. Check with HR to see if tied-back long hair is also acceptable.
Nails should be clipped short, clean, and buffed. Don’t be shy about getting regular professional manicures.
For Women:
A well-cut pantsuit or skirt suit in a conservative neutral color, such as black, navy, or brown.
White button-ups with a collar.
Closed-toe heels in a neutral color such as taupe, black, grey, or brown.
Tights, preferably in a dark color.
Conservative accessories – for instance, diamond studs/tondo earings rather than chandelier earrings.
Well-groomed hair worn in a conservative cut, such as a bob or soft layers.
Skirts never more than two finger-widths above the knees.
Well-groomed, neutral nails that are either clear coated, or painted with a beige-toned polish.
2 Business Professional
A step down from business formal, business professional clothing is still neat, conservative, and traditional, if a little more loose when it comes to color or pattern. Business professional is also sometimes called “traditional business.” Expect to present a professional appearance everyday, injecting personality into your outfits with your accessories and color choices.
For Men:
A one- or two-button suit. Suit colors should still be conservative, but you have more leeway with pattern – a conservative stripe or check, for instance.
Pressed, lighter-colored dress pants worn with a sports jacket.
Conservative ties, but feel free to introduce colors and patterns. For example, you can feel free to wear a blue-striped, professional tie, but no novelty ties.
High-end accessories, such as watches (preferably silver, gold, or white gold) and cuff links, if necessary.
Shirts should be collared button-ups, but can be colored, as long as the color is fairly conservative. Blue, burgundy, or gray all work well.
Shoes should be conservatively colored oxfords or polished loafers in black or brown.
Hair and nails should be groomed, but check with HR on acceptable hairstyles.
For Women:
A suit or skirt, top, and jacket in a conservative neutral color, such as black, brown, or navy.
Collared button-up shirts that may be any solid color.
Dark or nude-colored hosiery.
Closed-toe pumps in a neutral color such as black or brown.
Larger, more noticeable jewelry – as long as it’s not distracting. Think along the lines of one statement necklace or a chunky watch. High quality is preferred.
Skirts never more than two finger-widths above the knees.
Well-groomed, neutral nails. May be clear coat or beige.
Hair should be neat and groomed
with acceptable cuts and colors.

The Best And Worst Colors To Wear To Work
Having trouble picking out what to
wear to work? Focusing on colors might not only help you narrow down your choices, but may also benefit your career.
Research has shown that colors can greatly affect our moods and the way other people respond to us. Amazingly, colors can even change our heart rate and mood sometimes
With that in mind, here's the ultimate color guide for what we should (and shouldn't) wear to work:
Best Colors to Wear to the Office
1.. Green: This color denotes freshness, safety and harmony. It's also associated with money and the "go" signal for a traffic light-both great characteristics in the workplace. The color green is restful on the eyes and produces the least amount of eyestrain, making this a good choice for people who sit in front of a screen for many hours.
2. Blue This is the color of truth and wisdom. It also has a calming effect and is linked to intellect. It's also the most stable color. So if you have a volatile or drama-filled workplace, blue is a great color to wear to counteract the tension.
3. BrownThe color of stability, brown is also seen as masculine. If you're a woman in a predominantly male workplace, wearing a chocolate brown suit can give you credibility.
4. Black This power color can convey feelings of mystery and seriousness. It is also considered elegant and has a thinning effect. (And who doesn't love that?) If you want to be treated seriously, the typical black suit with a splash of green or blue works wonders.
Worst Colors to Wear to the Office
1. Yellow : This is the happiest of all the colors and usually stimulates joy. However, yellow is considered an unstable color, so it can be over-energizing for the office and make the wearer look weak.
2. Grey. Grey implies that people are passive, uninvolved and have a lack of energy. If you like wearing grey, pairing it with a brighter color such as blue can help offset the negative effect.
3. Red : This is the color of aggression and passion-great for a first date, not so great for the office. It also increases metabolism and raises blood pressure, which is why it's used for stop signs and fire engines. Red can be seen as a bit hostile in the work environment, so think twice before wearing it often.
Colors to Wear in Moderation or as Accents
1.Orange This is a color of stimulation and enthusiasm. It's not as aggressive as red, but can catch attention, so it's good to wear in moderation.
2. Purple Purple reminds people of royalty and luxury. It's also the color of magic. However, since purple rarely occurs in nature, it's also seen to be artificial. A purple scarf, tie or purse can be a nice, subtle addition to any outfit.
3. White This color is associated with cleanliness and perfection. It is always a safe choice for a shirt or scarf, but too much white denotes timidity and sterility-not good for workplace relations.
Colors affect our moods and how others perceive us. But, of course, colors aren't the only thing that affects how people see us-you can still be liked at work even if you're wearing a yellow suit. Still, when given the choice, pick a color that will work for you and not against you.
Hope you can now make your cloth choice now?
