7 RULES FOR CASUAL BUSINESS DRESS

This dress code has its own rule. I invite you to meet them. If Casual business attire (also known as Business Casual) allows you to wear a more comfortable dress without losing professionalism.

However, many men are wrong in practice because they do not know the details to take care of. So that you know how to dress correctly in the office I share below 7 rules for the casual business dress:

1) THERE ARE 2 LEVELS OF FORMALITY

You can wear a 2-piece suit or use a jacket and trousers in different colors. Wear the full suit without a tie when you have an important business appointment or an executive presentation in which you are the protagonist and want to project leadership.

Use a combination of jacket and pants of a different color when your appointment or event is less formal. Remember that wearing a jacket helps you project a more professional image.

2) YOU MUST WEAR LONG-SLEEVED DRESS SHIRT

Never a short-sleeved shirt is considered acceptable in this dress code. Yes, although the weather is hot in professional environments it is better to wear a long-sleeved shirt. If it is your case to work in a hot area you can roll up your shirt, you will feel more fresh and comfortable. If you want a cool and comfortable shirt I suggest it be made of cotton fabric, which is Trendy Culottes in warm temperatures.

3) THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF PANTS THAT YOU CAN USE

Dress pants and gabardine pants. When to use each of them? The dress pants wear them if your company is more conservative and formal, or, when you have a meeting with clients, and corporate presentations, especially if you're a leader in your company.

What fabric should your dress pants be? Woolen. Now, these pants exist with different thicknesses. In summer, he wears wool and cotton pants, which are fresher and thinner. In winter, wear wool pants and they will help you get covered in the cold.

The gabardine is ideal to wear more relaxed and accessible, ideal for not feel so formal. They are made of cotton fabric, very fresh.

4) YOUR DRESS BELT IS A KEY PIECE

Man who neglects the importance of the belt will lose presence immediately. Because casual business attire can sometimes do without the bag is for this reason that now the belt has more prominence, is more visible than before.

Check your current belt. If it is old, broken and cracked, replace it immediately with a new one. It is truly incredible how many men I encounter with this oversight, thinking that it does not matter quite the opposite.

What rules about the belt should you know?

• That the belt for dress pants is skin and thin.

• When wearing gabardine pants, use braided or leather belts

• When you wear jeans, use a thick leather belt.

• Always in professional environments, your belt should be the same color as your shoes.

5) YOUR SHOES CAN BE LOAFERS OR SHOELACES

50% of your professionalism is in your shoes. Man who neglects the presentation of his shoes (dirty, worn, and broken) immediately loses all the points he has won in the previous points.

When seen in a suit without a tie, he wears loafers and you will look great. I recommend you to be thin because they project more leadership and authority.

6) THE SCARF GIVES YOU DISTINCTION AND LEADERSHIP

He left his tie and triumphantly returned the handkerchief. This accessory will completely transform your professional clothing. More and more men lose the fear of using it because they see that it really makes a difference.

I suggest you place your handkerchief with a casual fit. If you buy your first handkerchief I suggest it be plain white, it will match any outfit. Use it at the next executive meeting or appointment with clients who dress formally. You will see very well!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
