Gentlemen.

Of course you wont be asked to do a french manicure, but a minimum maintenance of those manly fingers are needed. Simply, keep your nails well clipped and clean. 

Hair

Ladies & Gentlemen.

Make-up

Ladies.

Gentlemen:

Stop at moisturising cream or BB cream please. (lol!)

Beard

Nowadays the "no-shave November" seems to be going on throughout the year. At work though, it is better you opt from clean shaven to stubble long. Not only it looks clean and neat, it also adds a touch of style to your professional look.

Body language is all about the way you walk, you sit, you use your hands. 

A professional language would mean to speak without the use of slangs. 

This is probably my favorite part!

Ladies:

• Avoid deep cuts that reveal too much cleavage.
• Micro mini or mini skirts are a big no-no. 
• Knee length or pencil cuts are in and better looking.
• Make sure your trousers are not too tight and revealing.
• No jeans please. Unless it is casual Friday.
• Avoid those flashy neon colours. Instead add a dash of subtle or fast colours.
• Add a scarf or a blazer to finish your look. 
• Avoid hoops and cuffs. Wear one significant accessory with the rest discreet. Either the earring, the bracelet or the ring. But not all three together as it looks bulky.
• Opt for black, brown, off white, navy blue, marroon or nude shoes. Avoid pink, red, orange, animal prints and flowers. 
• Heels can range from flats to maximum 3.5 inches.

Gentlemen:

• Well-ironed shirts and blazers.
• Ties - It's OK to be funny, let's avoid being vulgar.
• Yes today's fashion is about wearing shirts of different colours, but avoid the flashy colours.
• Trousers please, no jeans. Unless it is casual Friday. 
• Don't forget your belt, it adds a touch of style.
• No trainers, sketches, sneakers, converse, timberlands or cowboy boots, but wear only formal shoes!
• Keep your shoes clean and well polished. Wear them with socks!

You may not realise, but we wear so many different facial expressions throughout the day. However we must control them in front of our clients and our hierarchy.

• Avoid frowning as it gives an angry look.
• Avoid having a sulky face. 
• And of course, smile as much as you can!

We all want to be fashionable, and we can be that at work too. However always remember not to overdo. Adopt an elegant and professional look. Have a sneak at pinterest for best ideas!

If you have a uniform, respect it. Accessorise it well and wear it with the right shoes.

Too much make up can spoil your look, but no make up either can give you a sullen one. Make sure you look fresh by using some BB cream or face powder if you do not like makeup.

Check your body odour. This is a major problem in many organisations. Always carry a body spray with you. If you sweat a lot, don't hesitate to bring along a spare shirt or blouse.

You are the ambassador of your organisation. Whether or not you wear a uniform, you are a member of that family. Therefore you constantly represent that firm. You project an image and therefore create an impression and a reputation. Watch out your behaviour and your attitude when you deal with the public.

Know the history and background of your company as much as you can. Keep updated with what is going on and show that you care.

It is not only the company that gives you a status, 

you give that company a reputation too.
