What the sisters should be wearing, A true female wardrobe

It is a dilemma that working women face every day: What to wear to work. But for many, the question is more complicated than simply what outfit to pick from the closet. For some professional women, what one wears to work is sometimes just as important as job performance.
And in recent years, corporate managers have noticed more casual styles invading the workplace. Fancy shorts outfits, sheer and lacy blouses, short body-clinging skirts, leggings, sandals and tennis shoes have infiltrated corporate governance.
But many female executives–as well as administrative assistants and executive secretaries–feel that such attire is inappropriate, especially for the woman who hopes to advance her career. For those who want to climb the corporate ladder, they say, business suits, dresses and sensible shoes are still the best way to dress for success.
Those women who are serious about their careers have invested a lot of time, effort and money in them. To them, it doesn’t make sense to sacrifice all that by falling down in the image category.
It’s true that, you must have technical skills, you must have communications skills and interpersonal skills, but to succeed, you also need image skills.
To become a female record breaker, its wise to emphasize the importance of image and attire in the business world. When you talk about the corporate world, most people tend to want to be cloned. They want to look alike, act alike, socialize alike. So what happens in corporate world is, to a degree, you have to assimilate in the way you dress as well.
The standard for business attire varies and depends greatly on whether you work in a large metropolitan area in Abuja or a small town in Ogun State, and in which region of the country you live. Corporate attire in large cities, tends to be less conservative than in smaller towns.
It also must be noted that women in certain professions, such as finance and law, as well as female executives in major corporations, are expected to dress more conservatively than those in creative fields, such as the media, advertising and public relations.
The finance world is classic (rather than trendy) attire is preferred. People are generally concerned that they are taken seriously, and attire is very important. When people look at you and see the way you act as well as the way you dress, they draw impressions concerning your ability, your credibility, whether you are serious and should be taken seriously.
For instance, women in such profession should wear suits and dresses with jackets, but makes an effort to stay away from fabrics that wrinkle easily. When going to work, they must be prepared for anything. They may meet with executives from other companies or attend a luncheon. Sometimes things happen unexpectedly. Their fashion sense must be fairly conservative. It would be an ethical flaws for one to observed a female banker in short pants while in the office. But that doesn’t take short pants out of fashion. Other professions like entertainment well come funky, bright colors, short skirts, long skirts, but you try to be a tasteful dresser.
