Female fashionistas have indicated their revulsion to their fellow women, who pay little attention to fashion.

For them, mismatched colours are a no-no! So if you pull on a pair of pants or skirts, try to coordinate the colours to the rest other accessories. Whatever your choice, do not exaggerate or mix seasons at the same time. 

However, getting dressed for office does not mean throwing away your personal style. Find out which looks give you a polished, professional look and which fashions can be career flattering.

As you prepare to embark on getting dressed for work, the objective should be to project a professional, competent image, regardless of your employment level or career path.

The style, colour, length and fit of your fashion choices speak volumes about your ability to do your job. If you are concerned about your career, you should also be more concerned with looking professional.

In general, the more distracting a piece of clothing or jewelry is, the less appropriate it is for office wear.
Fit is the key word. Your attire should be well fitting.

Jackets, for example should be able to be buttoned and blouses should not reveal any gap between buttonholes.
Dress like your boss

One of the best clues to company dress codes is what your boss wears. Just think about the styles that the highest-level person in your organisation wears and adopt them in your wardrobe.  

If you do not have a reliable executive to emulate, then trade on what your colleagues are wearing. If they don suits and ties every day, your best bet is to use pantsuits and skirt suits: the most formal of business looks.

Some companies encourage employees to dress well, especially for sales people and others that meet clients outside the office. One way to always be prepared is to keep an extra "meet the client” outfit at the office for surprise meetings.

Avoid anything that is too revealing, for example see-through tops, extreme miniskirts, stiletto sandals, too casual jeans, shorts, T-shirts, hats or sneakers.
However, on Friday, depending on the office policy, this can mean anything from corporate casual instead of formal looks.

Office Shoes

As my friend once told me, "Just because everybody else is doing it, that doesn’t make it right.”

When it comes to footwear and to fashion in general, we should all be style rebels. However, business is business, and if you are looking to land an office job, dress codes can be serious business.

In any official occasion, a pretty pedicure is warranted, if you plan to show your feet. You can certainly accomplish this yourself, if you choose. Cracked heels will detract from the most stylish fashion, no matter what you wear on your feet.

In addition, extreme heels are also inappropriate for office, because they call for too much attention to your footwear. The emphasis should be on you and your skills, and not on your shoes.

Having said all of that, it seems like you have few choices, but you have to accept it if you want to look professional.
