Fashion Compared to the Runway

The runway fashions that you see here are not practical to the real world of business. These models not only are small sizes and wear clothes that make them look smaller but these clothes are alot like the clothing you see on

celebrities these days. The women who work in the business field look at

these women and see that they are not wearing practical clothing for the

office atmosphere. This can relate to all types of clothing with the fact that

designers make clothing more for celebrites then anyone else because they

are the only ones who can wear it. I believe that women have to live up to

the latest look not only in normal clothing but now in stylish business clothing that the designers have made for the runway. To me all business

clothing should look fashionable but not go over the top with the way the

clothing is made for the runway.

Trends for Spring 2010 and Summer 2010 For the Business World

Countries dont always get the same business trends at the same time. As for Canada example their for 2010 in the business world will be more like a New Yorks Look. for men it will be exaggerates shoulders, slim jeans with a big fold and worn with loafers. For women its indian colors with contempoary cuts, high waists pants and suits, jump suits, single shoulders, mid length and as well as dark greys. Spring Summer 2010 we’ll see bandage dresses, shirt dresses, one-shoulder dresses will remain till Summer 2010 with shorter helm lines. Kaftans will make a comeback ... and the colours — sand, turquoise, soft pink, yellow, indigo, rosy pink, lime green. And for the men ... faded washes, chambray shirts, chalk stripes, in indigo, blue, burnt red, grey, chocolate brown and neon colours.

Tips For the Business Fashion World

There are some basic tips in the fashion business world. These will help someone who has been out of the work force for some time or elses someone who has never had exposure to the real business world. An example of this would be a mom who has been on maturnity leave for a year or a student who has just finished a business degree or diploma. When you come out of school or you havn't been working for a while the way you dress will most likley not be appopriate for a professional business (although you may want to educate yourself on what your employer considers appropriate or not appropriate)
Here are some types:
-Know what colors are in fashion this season by either checking out t.v. or fashion magazines
-try to incorporate some bright colors into your outfit
-if you are not into bright colors you can try to layer a bright color underneath so that you have an outline
-denim goes with almost anythin
-always own a black skirt, it can go with anything
-layering is very effective when your outfit seems to plain
-Remeber nothing to short or too low cut, you are after all trying to be professional

Follow the above tips and you should be set for your new profession!!

shoes, shoes, shoes.

shoes may just be on your feet but they can often be what brings an outfit together. they should not be ignored. for women you mostly see sleek high heels or dressy flats. and for men the common shoe of choice in black or brown dress shoes which if you haven't noticed tend to always be rather well polished. people say that you can judge someone based on they're shoes and the business world is no exception. it is not common to see someone dressed up in an office wearing running shoes on they're feet. shoes should also be professional and simple.

cost?

The cost of a professtional dress can be rather expensive if you shop in higher end designer shops like Holt Renfrew. but it is possible to find a business wardrobe for less. places like dynamite, smart set, or ricki's. these are all places that have professional looking clothes for much less then designer prices at tops starting at $20.00. it doesn't have to cost you to be a fashionable business person. shoes are another item that can become slightly costly. but it is possible to find shoes that are comfortable as well as professional at low costs. just because you work in a high end office does not mean you have to pay high end prices for your wardrobe.

common "rules"

Business fashion is all about being conservative. In order to keep in line with this and not feel that you look boring, it is possible to substitute bold or bright colors, designer labels (if thats what you desire), and remarkable shoes. these things with help to make you feel in control of your look while still looking professional. clothing such as short shorts and mini skirts are not acceptable. Conservative means longer skirts (knee length), properly covering shirts, not low cut or exposing. also shirts must be longer, not showing any stomache. business fashion is not about looking sexy and showing skin. its about looking professional and put together.
