Tailor, jeans, t-shirt, we sometimes feel like wearing the same thing when we go to work. Yet with some tips and a few ideas, one can fashion a canon look. Before choosing clothes, it is necessary to make sure that one knows its morphology well to avoid making mistakes in the choice of cuts and materials. For that nothing is better than to observe oneself to identify its assets and to learn to love its body . Then we act! A well-dressed person exudes an impression of self-confidence , and is more trusted to work. Then, follow these 3 commands from Brigitte Kessel, image consultant, to be well dressed at work.

Rule # 1: I observe and understand my environment

The choice of our clothes differs if we work in a bank or if we are a teacher. Like it or not, the company imposes certain codes to respect us . By observing others, one immediately gets an idea on the type of look to choose. When one arrives at a job interview by being dressed in the style and spirit of the company, one shows to our (future) boss that one has seized the identity of the company , he expects us. In short, we send a message of seriousness, and above all, interest in the box. If we are self-entrepreneur or the boss is us, we must not forget that our image must yield authority and respectability.

Rule # 2: I forget the black

This may seem surprising but this color tends to melt into the mass . In short, we go unnoticed and give the impression to our colleagues and clients that we are not the risk-taking style. In short, we do not choose the ease and we prefer to turn to good alternatives to black as the taupe, brown or a very beautiful gray. One rushes towards timeless pieces, like a well cut dress and one dares the audacity in the choice of colors, always according to its complexion.

Rule # 3: I put everything on accessories

For a canon look, we put our heart in the choice of accessories. Once our timeless piece is chosen, we give it pep's with the details. Women will opt for the right shoes, the good bag, the good jewelry. Men can take risks on ties, socks, or watches (we forget the Simpsons or illicit substances!). When we meet someone, he gets an opinion in 20 seconds , but a basic outfit without accessories will not show our personality. Accessories are a way of showing who one is without taking too much risk of clothing. And if we invest in the choice of our accessories, then it shows that we will be invested in the work.
