This document provides tips on dressing professionally and appropriately for different occasions and settings. It emphasizes that first impressions are important and one's appearance conveys an image about their professionalism and attention to detail. Specific tips include dressing based on one's body type, skin tone, and the audience as well as maintaining good hygiene and paying attention to details like socks, shoes, and grooming. Color combinations for different jacket and shirt colors are also provided. The overall message is that dressing appropriately is important to make a positive first impression.

1. First impressions count. A
professional consultant who
doesn’t take the time to
maintain a professional
appearance presents the
image of not being able to
perform adequately on the
job. If you are not
appropriately dressed for the
occasion be it a professional
or personal setting, it
conveys the image that you
don’t care and you are not
giving the due importance to
the occasion.

2. As they say, first impression is the last impression. The moment you walk into a room,
the first impression which people will form about you is through your dress.

3. Dress for yourself. Understand & analyze your body type, what suits
you the most. Feel free to experiment with clothes & combinations to
figure out what suits you best.

4. The rules of dressing are changing. Today even pink shirts are absolutely acceptable for boys,
which was a big no till a few years back. There are no set rules for dressing. Explore and
experiment but be very careful. However, we will share some tips with you, which will help you
dress appropriately for the occasion and audience

5. One of the first things to do is to identify your skin tone and accordingly decide
which colours to wear.

6. Colors for your skins
• Warm: white, gray, green, blue-green, burgundy,
Yellow, any primary or pastel colors
• Cool: orange, red, gold, yellow, green, burgundy,
White, any other light shade colors
• Neutral: Black, white, grey, blue, olive, burgundy,
brown

7. Just to give an example, the guy on the extreme left is of neutral skin tone and dark
shades suit him. On the other hand the guy on the extreme right is of warm shade and
pastel colours look good on him. Similarly the girl in the center (the one with her arms
folded) has a cool skin tone, hence lighter shade of grey will suit her.

11. Perfect

12. If you don’t pay attention,
your socks can spoil your
entire look. Your socks
should match your trousers.
Socks are NOT meant to
standout. Keep them low
profile.

13. Disaster

19. Friday Dressing – As most offices allow semi formals or casuals on Friday you can experiment a
bit. E.g. If you have a meeting on Friday. Add a bit of pattern to your day with a big checked
blazer in grey and matching flat front slim trousers. Polish it off with a tie and a pocket square.
Darker colors look better on darker skin tone.

20. Workdays don’t have to be boring. If you are feeling simple opt for this grey brown slim
business suit and contrast it with patterned shirt. You can leave the tie aside.
Check shirt + Tie = BIG NO
Self check + Tie = may work
Nice black suit with grey and white combination always looks attractive. You may use brown
shade of shoes to add some variation to style.

21. Contrast collared slim shirts matched with a leisure suit in a dull grey makes for a fashionable at
work.
Bell bottom still works for women with some stylish top.
Wear heals with skirts. Avoid platform heals

22. Have to attend a function after work? Then this should be your undisputed choice. Rich brown
and black combo makes for a sleek, suave and celebratory corporate look.
Black little dress is magical for women. Try some variation around neck area.

23. This geometric patterned polo tee paired with formal trouser makes the perfect choice for days
when you want to ditch the corporate code and opt for something little more casual.

25. Fabulous color combination. Feel free to experiment
