Indian Outfits For The Corporate World

When it comes to corporate dressing, what can you visualize? Western outfits like formal trousers, shirts, dresses and skirts right? Even for attending business meetings or customer meetings, we prefer wearing western outfits. That’s good thinking. But, we also have a good range of Indian outfits that can be worn to office as well as for important meetings.

Have you ever observed the dressing styles of topmost powerful corporate and political women like Indra Nooyi, Chanda Kochhar, Zia Modi, Indira Gandhi, Sushma Swaraj and Sonia Gandhi to name a few? They all are usually in Indian or Indo-Western attire which looks no-fuss and professional.

Women, in fact, are spoil for choice. Let’s see which Indian outfits when worn in the corporate world will help you develop a magnetic personality and make a great first impression.

1.      Cotton Saree with ? sleeves or full sleeves: Saree speaks of high authority level in the corporate world. You should wear a saree with collar blouse and ? or full sleeves along with jacket if you want others to perceive you as an authoritative person. You can wear this outfit for conducting meeting or doing any presentation and get the attention of participants. On regular days you can wear saree with half or ? sleeves

2.      Kurti’s with Cigarette pants or churidar: For corporate outfit, one must select kurtis that are made up of

?       Firm fabric like cotton, raw silk, cotton silk, linen etc.

?       Has collar

?       Sleeves are half or ? or full

Bottoms can be either cigarette pants or churidar or palazzo. Please stop wearing leggings to office.

3.      Kurtis with jackets and scarfs: Variation 

4.      Formal pants with tunics: Do you know this outfit is recognized worldwide as formal corporate wear?

Corporate dressing refers to the art of dressing formally and correctly. Formal dressing, if done correctly goes a long way in shaping one’s personality. People take you seriously if you are dressed sensibly.

Corporate dressing helps you

?       Develop a magnetic personality which attracts other individuals

?       Inculcate a good and healthy culture at the workplace

?       You create that first impression

?       Climb the ladder of success in the shortest possible time frame

?       Makes you feel confident and fresh throughout the day

?       Get noticed and stand apart from the rest

Every organization expects its employees to be well groomed and presentable. Employees need to understand that sensible dressing goes a long way in building their professional image. As an employee, you are also representing your organization. One needs to be formally dressed to make a powerful first impression at the workplace. First Impressions are indeed extremely crucial. Credentials are essential but appearances count as well. Trust me; it would be difficult for you to impress a client if you are not formally dressed.

As William Copper say “Variety’s the spice of life, that gives it all the flavour” So let’s build up our wardrobe with lots of variations that includes Indian outfits as well as western outfits
