Dress Codes




Do you often experience nail biting moments when you can't decide what to wear to a particular occasion? Whether you are going out for a movie, to a friend's birthday party or to attend a meeting, being confused about your wardrobe is a common phenomenon. There are different dress codes that suit a particular occasion. What is perfect for a formal function may not be suitable for a wedding. We help you to decide on your wardrobe for various occasions.

Formal dress codes


Confused about what to wear to office? Most offices have a formal dress code. Women can settle for smart western formals – pant suites or a formal cut skirt and a blouse. Men can settle for business suites or a full sleeved formal shirt, paired with a tie.

On weekends most offices have a casual dress code, when you can wear business casuals. Denims can be paired with polo necked shirts. Women can settle for long skirts, paired with blouses or shirts.

Going for an interview? Wearing formals reflects your professional approach. Mid length/knee length skirts and a formal shirt with a jacket or a scarf goes well for women. Men can wear full sleeved shirts and a tie. Business suites are another option that you can try out.

Informal dress codes


A friend's birthday party, or a wedding, there are separate dress codes for each occasion. A casual dress that goes well for a birthday party is not suitable for a wedding. A dressy outfit, coupled with matching accessories would be more suitable for a cocktail party or a wedding reception. Sports wear like track suites or your swimming trunks are another kind of informal wear.
