Office Dress Code - Feminine not Seductive
 
Office Dress Code - Feminine not Seductive
What makes attire inappropriate for the office?
In the workplace it’s inevitable that women compete with men. Often they emulate the dress code of their male counterparts and by doing so they hide their femininity.

Selecting tailored pantsuits and low heels for the woman executive does parallel men’s attire, however, these dress choices have done little to move the glass ceiling. Women need to rediscover their femininity in a business environment. eDressMe’s stated mission is to empower women to rediscover their femininity, to find an edge that expresses femininity while not giving the wrong sexual signals.

What is the best way to judge if attire is inappropriate?
What makes something feminine can be texture or fabric treatment. Feminine fabrics include silk or satin. Embellishments to the fabric like beading or lace are also feminine touches. What is inappropriate for the workplace are styles that are too short or too low cut. This apparel crosses the line from feminine to seductive.

When it comes to selecting colors, the same rules that apply to men’s tie selection – i.e. too loud, too bold a print - may be used as guides. Women’s prints should be individualistic but neither too bold or too loud.

How can you be fashionable and still appropriate for a conservative office?
Wear a black suit with a lingerie type camisole underneath being clearly feminine yet clearly business. Also wear a skirt rather than pants.

There has an ongoing trend toward casual in the office place. Our advice is do not go casual. Dress for success. Sharp, stylish clothing that is not tightly cut is still a formula for respect, even if it’s a casual Friday.

The climb up the corporate ladder is still steeper for women than it is for men. Don’t think otherwise even if you’re in a friendly environment that feels comfortable. This is where you can make your most critical mistakes.

When a women feels feminine she feels empowered. When she has expressed herself through a choice of clothing that reflects her individuality, she feels confident. The impression that she makes in the officeplace is the result of these careful choices.
