With the popularity of dresses with small coats in recent years, suits with dresses have become a popular way for women in the workplace. So, what kind of suit is better to choose? How to match a dress according to the characteristics of a suit?
How do women in the workplace choose suits?
The main points of choosing formal clothes are: not to pursue fashion, not to be too conspicuous, and to be convenient to wear. Recently, however, in addition to orthodox two-button suits, three-button suits are also very popular among young people. If you don't go to an elite company like the financial industry, you should have no problem wearing a three-button suit. In addition, we should also pay attention to color, fabric, shoulder width, chest circumference and other issues.
Color: The basic characteristics of formal attire are monochrome and dark color. Navy blue or dark gray plain suits are most suitable. These two colors are orthodox suit colors, which will also leave a good impression on the interviewer. Dark colors also have the advantage of matching skin color. Basically, the purchase ratio is navy blue: gray = 6: 4.
Fabric: generally pure natural fabric, such as wool, linen, silk, etc. , should be flat, smooth, soft, hanging crisp, should not wrinkle, lint, pilling.
Shoulder width: After wearing the tried-on suit, if the shoulder width of the clothes just fits, it can well reflect the overall sense of balance. In addition, check whether there will be horizontal wrinkles on the back. If there are wrinkles, the clothes are too tight.
Bust: The most suitable bust is the tightness of the fist.
In addition to the above problems, we should also pay attention to waist circumference, skirt length, sleeve length and garment length.
How to match a suit and a dress?
Generally speaking, there are two main types of small coats with dresses. One is the suit type. One is cardigan knitting. These two feelings will be very different, so how to match a suit with a dress?
1, appropriate length. Generally speaking, as well as the length of knee-length dresses, the length of the hem is better to be slightly higher than the highest point of the hips. In this way, there will be an arc between the concave waist line and the convex hip line of the suit, highlighting the beauty and overall balance of women. The matching of long suits needs a little attention. The length of the dress or skirt pants inside should not be too long, which is shorter than the general knee-length skirt. It's best to show a skirt on the sleeve of the suit. If you wear a long suit with a knee-length dress, you will feel procrastinating.
2. color. Generally speaking, a dress with bright colors or big flowers needs a series of black and white light suits with solid colors to subdue it, but if it is simple and generous, you can use some sequins as the finishing touch to avoid large areas of bright colors and big flowers inside and outside. Of course. If you pay attention, it is best to choose materials such as cotton and linen in the choice of materials, which is breathable and comfortable.
Do you feel more energetic and beautiful in a suit than before? Do you think you can be fashionable? So, don't doubt the power of collocation, because it can make a very humble dress become the focus of everyone!
How to choose a professional OL suit?
OL's golden dress code in the office is actually very simple, that is, shirt+suit skirt (or pants). Just like Huashan since ancient times, there is no other way. Some people think that this may be absolutely correct, but it is the safest way. No one will blame you for dressing like this, but you will always meet people who don't like you if you dress in other ways. People's energy is limited, on the one hand, spending too much will inevitably affect other aspects of energy. Therefore, the golden dress code in the office can be summarized into two words: solemnity and simplicity. Understand this basic premise, and then choose the professional clothes that suit you.
Coat length.
When choosing clothes, try on suits of different lengths.
Some people are suitable for wearing a shorter suit jacket, which looks thin and above the waist line; Someone just reached the waist; Some people (such as me) can never wear a short coat (I can't even wear a short casual shirt and a short trench coat, so I have to wear a long coat), so I have to choose a suit coat that falls to my hips; Some people may have to wear a suit jacket below the hip circumference to look good. The hem of the lower skirt is exposed below the hem of the coat, which is very atmospheric.
Generally speaking, people with big faces are not suitable for wearing short coats (and long clothes will make their faces shorter), and people with short bodies are not suitable for wearing long coats (this will make their lower bodies shorter, which is of course related to the proportion of their bodies. Some people with short bodies but good proportions wear everything).
Collar type.
The key point of dresses with different faces and temperament lies in the neckline shape. For example, if you have a super round face with a turtleneck dress, it's hard to look good.
Suits also have different collar types, such as stand collar, small round neck, small square collar, small lapel and large lapel. The collar itself has a wide wing and a narrow wing. You must try it carefully to know which one is more suitable for you.
Size, especially waist circumference.
This is too important. Many people look bloated or dull in suits because they don't have a good waist. Many people think that their bodies can't support suits because they haven't picked a suit that suits their body.
When trying on suits with different waists, you should look not only at the front, but also at the sides and back. We should pay special attention to whether the girdle suit is properly folded. The cloth around the waist should be moderately elastic, but it should not be too tight (for example, the buttons on the chest can't bounce off), because it is too concave and convex and violates the core law of "solemnity".
shirt
Generally speaking, you should choose a matching shirt according to the suit you buy, that is, buy a coat before buying a shirt, or try it on together, otherwise it is probably inappropriate, such as a large shirt collar and a small coat collar (so that even the shirt collar can't be turned out).
In terms of color, white is the mainstream of shirts, but it can also be matched with red shirts and black coats, and sometimes light beige and pink shirts can also be matched with many clothes.
Striped shirts are ok, but striped shirts can only be worn with solid color coats. A striped shirt can never be paired with a striped coat. If the coat is a certain color, the shirt is a striped shirt with white and coat color, which echoes inside and outside, which is also a good choice.
pants
Pay special attention to leave room for high heels, and bring the most commonly worn high heels to work instead of comfortable flat shoes when shopping. Otherwise, your long heels will be exposed under your trouser legs in the office, and you always feel that your trousers are short.
skirt
Above the knee first, but the measurement below the knee still depends on your own leg shape. In addition, the skirt should not be too wide or too narrow, too wide or too casual or too narrow.
Generally, it is a straight skirt, which is tried by walking and strides forward without being hindered by the skirt. After all, wearing clothes is for better work, not for suffering.
Shoulders and cuffs are not easy to be too tight.
Generally, when trying on clothes, I will bend my arms to my chest and do a chest-expanding exercise by broadcasting exercises, which will not be too hindered.
