Casual Clothes On The Elegant Hall

Is it appropriate to wear shorts or jeans in the office? Is there any danger of being fired?

Can you enter the conference room with a sleeveless shirt? Will it make you feel less solemn?

Is it possible to attend a banquet without wearing a suit or tie? Will it appear to be lacking in sincerity due to being too formal?

Once upon a time, the dress regulations in some so-called formal occasions were inherent and rigorous, and only in recent years did they fade away.

This is due to the development and progress of the times and society. On the other hand, it originates from the unique creative spirit of fashion and opens a blue sky for the boring traditional formal dress.

The Han boundary between the formal and the informal is blurred by the times and ambiguous.

Formal or not

It's not a decision occasion.

Key to demand

In the past, people did not choose very much about their clothing types. For formal occasions, they basically followed the rules of "office suit / suit, banquet, suit / evening dress, social dress - shirt / skirt", so the same choice of collocation was boring and tasteless.

Fortunately, fashion trends continue to move forward along with the progress of the times. Many fresh elements that have never been seen before are constantly added to traditional costumes, which not only break the boundaries between formal and informal, but also add a little relief to the original tense and solemn atmosphere.

As for informal clothing entering formal occasions, Xu Laibiao, a fashion critic, has his own view: "this shows that the traditional clothing performance of formal occasions is advancing with the times."

It's like that when you grow up and go to university, you have a little money, freedom, and the school uniforms that used to be green years are no longer the only clothes you can show your college temperament. "

In his opinion, what kinds of occasions demand and decide what clothes to wear.

Casual wear and formal dress are not the key to deciding the needs of the occasion.

He defined the needs and characteristics of different occasions as a style of dress, different elements of clothing, and through different combinations, to match different styles of dress.

So what casual clothes are not suitable for formal occasions?

He thinks that we can only do some simple bottom line rule: for example, clothes that are absolutely out of line with the needs of the occasion, and those that do not conform to the wearing status, must not appear on the occasion. That is to say, you can't appear in the official conference of a technology product in riding boots and breeches, unless this product is related to horse sports, and you are exactly the mouthpiece of that product.

Distinguish the occasion: informal dress "formal" debut

If you think this confrontation is a "formal" change, it will be possible to wear a "chimney" between the office and the reception.

Therefore, we must clarify that not all informal clothes can be installed in the elegant hall. Since there are many predecessors who have overcome the difficulties to break the fixed pattern of traditional costumes, we have to take a little thought in collocation and benefit the spirit of pformation.

So, what are the official occasions to allow informal dress to appear?

Mr. Xu Laibiao thinks that public and formal occasions with personal (emotional) nature allow leisure elements.

He said humorously, "when Edison Chan apologizes to women in the dark blue suit and a striped shirt without a tie and sits alone in front of the stage and apologizes to the injured women in English, the scene will win a lot of bonus points.

There are no black suits, white shirts and scarlet ties that represent absolute business. It does not give people too much premeditation and planning. It shows the confession of wind and light, and people will think, "is this from the bottom of my heart?"

Besides, in some formal occasions where internal negotiations and non final decision making styles are allowed, elegant sports oriented leisure elements are also allowed. For example, in the tense negotiations between the two parties before signing a contract, if a key person wears a POLO shirt, it will immediately eliminate some pressure.

Daring to guide the way: add light elements to the serious atmosphere

If you are required to attend formal dress in some formal occasions, how can you make a difference in detail and add some relaxing elements?

Xu Laibiao thinks that we can consider from two aspects: "wearing tactics" and "wearing strategy".

Tactics: details reveal personal charm

Attention should be paid to the use and collocation of details in clothing, such as the necktie elements, the signature pins on the upper pocket of the suit, the inner pierced vest with different contrasting colors, the material of the leather shoes, the watches, and even the perfume used, which can help men to show "unique style". Women will have more choices. Besides the "utensils", accessories such as necklaces, earrings and makeup can release the feeling of "relaxed and friendly".

Strategy: style determines personal identification.

Cultivate your consistent style of wearing and matching, forming recognition.

"You can always dress up luxurious, arrogant, and independent all the year round. At this time, no matter how unofficial products are, you will be familiar with them and adapt to them. Naturally there will be no pressure."

Xu Laibiao said.

Great changes in leisure apparel

Gentleman "cowboy", leisure for formal

Madonna and Brad Peter, Dsquared2 of great love, have been practicing the office this season. They have made the cowboy a traditional straight cut. They have also added two creases on the top. They have tamed the "rebellious" cowboys and turned them into graceful classical men.

Because the cowboy's edge has been "hidden", from this office can also become their shelter.

Casual shorts, style remedies

Shorts are usually the last choice in the cabinet for office workers. However, some shorts specially designed and used with special materials have often become the favorite of office girls.

One thing to remember is that if your shorts are casual, then everything else must be high-end.

1. men must wear long and fitting City shorts and then use cotton or linen short sleeved POLO shirts or button shirts to match them.

2. the style of shoes is very important. Try wearing canvas shoes.

3. for ladies, flip flops are the highlights.

4. the material and style of the jacket should be adequate enough to cover the shortage of casual shorts.

5. if there is sweat problem, it is best to choose natural materials, such as cotton fabric or linen.
