Business Dressing – Getting Started

Whether you are new to the working world, changing jobs, facing a dress code policy change or you just feel the need to alter your professional look, putting together a traditional business wardrobe can be a daunting task. In our first few “Business Dressing” columns, we will help you select wardrobe options that will prove to be wise investments.

Let’s begin with the most important (and expensive) element of your business wardrobe – the suit. Rather than start with a cutting edge look that may be obsolete next year, select 2-3 classically tailored suits in a year round fabric and conservative colors.

Current trends favor a three-button jacket with double reverse pleated pants, but both two and three button models will provide you with a garment that can be worn for many years. Be sure to select trousers that are lined to the knee, since the lining will add both increased comfort and longevity (trousers always seem to wear out before suit jackets).

Strong consideration should also be given to your selection of a tailor. It’s often wise to rely on the recommendations of friends and business associates. An adept tailor is invaluable. There’s nothing worse than putting on your newly altered suit for the first time, only to notice that the pants are too short or the jacket sleeves too long.

Once you have the basics, you can slowly add other suits to round out your wardrobe. A light tan or beige color works well in warmer weather. Winter weight wool fabrics will keep you warmer during the winter. The best rule of thumb is to wear what is comfortable for you, always remembering that classic tailoring and colors will best stand the test of time.

Getting Started - The Dress Shirt

Dress shirts come in a multitude of styles, fabrics, patterns & colors. Your dress shirt choices should reflect both your personal style and the business environment in which you work. First, two general rules of thumb:

Better dress shirts are invariably tailored of 100% cotton. They can be laundered and ironed at home, or professionally laundered at your local dry cleaner. If you are not handy with an iron and want to avoid the expense of professional laundering, non-iron or wrinkle-resistant shirts are now available in 100% cotton and serve as suitable alternatives. These shirts, in which the cotton fabric is treated to resist wrinkles, can be laundered at home and require a minimum of care.

Unless you observe your supervisor and other managers wearing short sleeves, limit your dress shirt purchases to long sleeves only.

Begin with about 6-8 dress shirts. If you work in a company where senior management dresses conservatively, or if your clients tend to dress in this manner, stick to simple dress shirts. Solid white, light blue or basic white and blue stripes are appropriate in almost any work environment. Traditional straight (point), spread or buttondown collars are always apropos. If you elect to make a distinctive and more elegant statement, select one or two dress shirts with a white collar and cuffs. French cuffs always dress up your shirt.

If your work place allows you to go beyond the most basic of dress shirts, a wide variety of patterns and colors exist. Since dress shirts do not have the life expectancy of a business suit, you need not be as concerned with fashion obsolescence. Currently stripes, ginghams, glen plaids and tattersalls are popular, as are solid patterns in a wide variety of both subdued and vibrant colors. Choose patterns and colors in which you feel comfortable. The collar style should complement your build and the shape of your face.

Beyond Basics - Adding to Your business Wardrobe

Several of our early columns addressed the issue of getting started in building a business wardrobe (click here to read these articles). We strongly recommended sticking with basic colors and styles to allow for the greatest amount of flexibility in matching wardrobe pieces. This week we will focus on expanding your business wardrobe beyond those basic items.

Let's start with dress shirts. Once you have acquired the requisite 6-8 basic dress shirts (white, blue, ecru or blue stripe), you can start to add to your collection by branching out into various patterns. Pinstripe, bengal stripe, end-on-end and minicheck are timeless and will out last seasonal, more fashion forward pattern selections. Choose traditional blue or burgundy for a classic look; tone of black, brown, purple or gold for a more updated feel. The more adventurous can opt for more fashion forward patterns including subtle tonal checks or multi-colored non-repeating stripes in a wide spectrum of colors.

When you venture beyond basic dress shirts, it is wise to purchase shirts and neckties at the same time, to assure that these critical wardrobe items match. The key to matching a tie to a patterned dress shirt is to mix small patterns with larger patterns. For example, combine a minicheck dress shirt with a paisley or bold stripe necktie. Or, match a bengal stripe shirt with a mini-dot tie. To assure a strong color effect, select neckwear that features a tone that matches the secondary tone of the dress shirt.

As with dress shirts, we recommend that you first build an assortment of basic woolen trousers in neutral tones (grey, charcoal, black, olive, tan, navy and brown) to provide the greatest amount of wardrobe versatility. Once you have accomplished this, branch out into some patterned trousers. Houndstooth and glen plaid are excellent choices, and they mix especially well with solid color blazers and fine gauge knits. A solid blazer and/or classic sportcoat are essential wardrobe items. Add additional sportcoats in versatile colors and patterns such as plaid, herringbone or houndstooth to supplement your wardrobe.

Expanding your accessories collection can also add some zest to your wardrobe. Add some whimsical neckties and cufflinks. Once you have mastered the basics, have some fun while expanding your wardrobe.
