Staying Within the Dress Code,

Even though you may know better than to go to work wearing a wedding dress, there may be other things to keep in mind.   As an example, if your employer has a very detailed dress code, it may limit wearing blue jeans, sneakers, or even certain types of fabrics.  Without a question, almost every dress code will require a neat, clean appearance.  Interestingly enough, some plus size fashions can make this very difficult to accomplish.  In particular, you will need to be wary of clothes that may develop sweat stains, as well as ones with scooped neck lines that will expose bra straps.

Dressing Your Age,

Irregardless of  your size, chances are you will always want to look a few years younger than your actual age.  That said, if you  are in your 40’s, the last thing you will want to do is go to work looking like you shop in the girls department. Fortunately, you can still use color and fabric design to help you look younger.  As an example, instead of trying to wear a juniors size cocktail dress, it may be better to wear a knit garment.  If you choose a color that enhances your face and complexion, you will have the advantage of looking gracefully mature without appearing old.

Being Professionally Attractive,

Even though you may look fabulous in a designer evening dress, this type of garment may not be suitable for your work place.  At the same time, your color choices are not limited to dull greys, black, or white.  Depending on your coloring and hair, it may be possible to select bold colors, such as a dark coral, as well as robin egg blue, or even sea greens.  On the other hand, loud shades of red or other excessively bright colors will not be suitable.
