People not only meet us according to our clothing, but also value. Most of all, you realize this fact during joyless reflections on the topic: “Why don’t they advance me?” or “Why don’t they respect me the way my post and qualification require?”. Because favorable report requires proper appearance, suitable to your official position, place of work and ambitions.

You start a new work
Your most important task
You do want to create a good impression on your colleagues and join a new collective. We like people who resemble us. So, you have to forget about your individuality and look like the majority of your colleagues.

What to do
Don’t be lazy to look attentively at your new collective before the first working day yet: lounge about office entrance and find common features in all employees’ clothing. If people prefer severe style - wearing suits and light shirts - copy the calmest attire. For the first time it’s better to go too far with conservatism, than showing yourself as anarchist, ready to “rise in rebellion”, or non-conformist that always disputes with everybody. Opt for a jacket and a skirt. In summer all tints of blue, light-green and beige are appropriate, in winter - dark-blue, lilac, black, dark-grey. Brown color is a bad choice for business clothing, and the reasons are still unknown even to psychologists. You can give free rain to your imagination and explain this fact as you like, but don’t go to work wearing only brown clothes. Choose shoes with 3-4 cm heels, as shoes without heels are for sport and rest, on stiletto heel - for evening going out.

Remember!
On work it’s necessary to go from opening of inner matter to a change of appearance. In about 3 months, when you show you’re a competent employee with certain features of character - life-loving or severe, shy or sociable, - you’ll be able to add some separate individual details to your conservative style. For example, changing a white blouse on a pink one or putting on a black jumper with black skirt and pinning a beautiful silver butterfly.
You’ve started thinking about advancement
Your most important task
To show you’re a determined, purposeful and intelligent worker.

What to do
Insert elements of masculine style into your image, such style associates with reliability and efficiency. You can put on a blouse of a shirt kind, smart necktie, eyeglasses in a thin frame. Think it over, may be you should buy a severe trouser suit instead of suit with a skirt. A jacket with skirt or trousers should be of the same color - this looks both businesslike and beautiful. Replace your bag on a small ladies’ brief case made of genuine leather. Stylish short hairdo, made in good hairdresser’s is more preferable for a carrier, than long hairs. A woman with luxurious fuzz produces an impression of a person who pay more attention to her appearance, than to work.

Remember!
Strict and dangerous, but sometimes a tremendously efficient detail - is eyeglasses with obscure glasses. They are taken as some barrier between your interlocutors and you and attach mysterious magnitude to you. When you put off glasses and look at you vis-? -vis face, he rates such gesture as a display of trust to him and a moment of truth in your relations.

Congratulations: you are a boss!
Your most important task
To straighten your authority and go up the scale of rank.

What to do
Dress more expensive clothes, than your subordinates do. You need to keep a distance between them and you, so that they would listen to you. It’s not always appropriate to create a distance by sharpness, rudeness or imperiousness. It’s correctly and decently - to accentuate your domineering position through high-quality clothing. Even if your collective is a creative one, and everybody sport jeans, put on some special more expensive jeans. Stylish clothing will gently introduce you to a new circle - circle of bosses, not subordinates. Accentuate your shoes and accessories - everybody can distinguish expensive shoes and gloves, bags and scarves from cheap ones. And you won’t have to spend additional money on new suits or blouses.
Remember!
Don’t be afraid of turning to be non-democratic, subordinates like when the authorities look decent. They think: “Aha, she’s just blossoming, so there’s a reason to advance, move forward, climb the ladder” - and start working better. You provide people with inoffensive themes of talks by your image. Nevertheless, they will be gossiping and slandering about you, so, let them discuss your new skirt cut and hairdos, than your orders.

If you’re a creative worker
Your most important task
Look creatively, but not madly.

What to do
Wear light or bright loose clothes, not restraining your motions. White trousers and scarlet jumper, ethnographic sandals and “ballet-slippers”, flying away “country-skirt”, hairdo “bird’s-nest” and curls look excellently on Dj, artist or interior designer.

Remember!
Know when to stop. One young and talented artist failed to get job in an advertising agency, as she arrived on an interview, being closely cropped and with a vinous velvet rose, pasted to her “skull” with court plaster. The same rose decorated her d?©collet?©. As a chief of advertising agency, who held the interview, told me, he could stand one rose on her breast - she’s an artist after all. But that court plaster finished him. He decided that in spite of her talent, she will only shock the public, and not serve its needs.

The following things are not always appropriate for work
Mimi and maxi, d?©collet?© and naked shoulder, thigh slip, frills, lace insets, large flowers and decorations, red enamel, T-shirt with such inscriptions, as: “I am a fat dog” or “Sweet little piggy”, bell-bottomed trousers, white trousers and skirts, nude navel, clothing leopard colors, largely checked or spotted clothes, bountiful bijouterie made of sea shell, ceramics and plastic, huge signet-rings (no matter with diamonds or glasses), high-heel boots, shoes on double sole, tiny handbags.
 
The truth nobody will tell you
 
A go-getter woman must shave her legs.
Hairy woman’s legs are like man’s huge beard - a symbol of an obstinate nature, not disposed to compromises, not wishing observing common rules of game, spontaneous and abrupt. Or extremely lazy one. So, after looking at your hairy legs, a potential employer may refuse you. Your colleagues treat you with some dread, and boss - with distrust? It’s quite possible your hairy legs are the reason.

Don’t shine with your knees.
Put on tights on work, no matter how hot it is outside: naked legs are an intimate thing, acceptable at home, at the beach or rest. Choose thin, flesh-colored tights. Black ones look too erotic, remind of cabaret and attract too much attention.

Throw away all small things dear to your heart from your bag: old checks, toy-rabbit, empty tubes of lipsticks, a pack of tampons etc. Keep your comb clean and put all cosmetics in a special bag.

Imagine your colleagues’ shock, when they see you trying to extract a pen and document case from your bag, and then a dirty comb with a tampon between its denticles and a crumpled cover of a chocolate bar, which you ate in the morning, will drop out too.

Always keep your mobile phone near yourself. Or hang it on your neck in a smart case.

A woman-employee, fumbling in the depths of her bag, vainly searching a deafeningly ringing mobile there, creates a sad and far from business impression on men-colleagues and boss.
