Business attire can be called as appropriate wear for an interview, for a professional job and dress code wear for work in an office environment.

Dress codes are written and more often, unwritten rules with regard to clothing.

Business attire for men includes a suit, jacket, shirt, trousers, tie, dark socks and dress shoes.

For women, business attire includes a suit or an ensemble of a skirt, dress slacks, or dress with a jacket, blouse, hosiery and closed toe shoes.

Treat your business clothing as an investment and choose wisely. Make sure you buy classic styles that suit your body shape, are comfortable, have quality workmanship and quality material.

For business/corporate situations match your handbag , shoes and belt. Black shoes should be matched with a black handbag. This is not a time to get creative with your accessories or to wear colored shoes.

Do not neglect your outerwear . Purchase a good quality coat that can be worn with either pants or a skirt. For cooler weather don't neglect your outdoor footwear. For skirts choose long knee-high boots.

Keep shoes and boots in a good state of repair. Scuffed shoes with worn heels will ruin the look of your outfit.

To complete your look choose soft leather gloves that will add a nice touch as well as keep your hands from getting chapped.

Choose clothing material that reflects the season. Heavy fabrics and tweeds are best for Fall and Winter and will look out of place during Summer, as light linen fabrics will look out of place during Winter.

Always wear a belt where there are belt loops . Choose a good quality leather belt and don't be tempted to wear a flashy or plastic belt. If you don't like belts choose pants without loops

A suit in shades of black, gray or dark blue, in either a solid color or with pinstripes is acceptable for formal business-wear.

The shirt should be a light color or a crisp white when the suit is dark. The sleeves of the shirt and blazer should reach the wrist. Do not roll up shirtsleeves as it can be viewed as informal.

Ties should be made of silk or a similar material and can include a color and print which provide an attractive contrast when viewed against the shirt and blazer. Stay away from loud patterns, cartoon characters and novelty prints.

Choose socks to match the color of the pants or shoes. They should reach around the height of the calf. Socks made from natural materials will aid in wicking away excess moisture.

Shoes should be somewhat formal and always cleaned with a good shoe polish. When unsure, choose black leather shoes with laces since they can easily go with most styles.

The style of the belt should compliment the material and style of the shoes.

Keep haircuts short and well maintained, and always shave any facial hair.

Jewelry for men should generally be limited to one ring on each hand at most, and a formal style watch. Avoid earrings and necklaces. A necklace with a religious symbol should be tucked inside the shirt so as not to be visible.

Wear a long formal wear coat over the suit. This can normally be omitted in summer.

Choose a light and fresh body spray. For colognes, either use a light variety in a small amount or none at all. Make sure that the fragrance is not overpowering and test it out a day before the interview by asking for someone’s feedback.

The briefcase should complement the overall look. Choose a smart case or portfolio in a dark color.
