In the business world, making an impact and first impressions are everything. For men, the formula is simple: a well fitted mens shirt, a smart slick suit and tie, with cufflinks for added effect. Women face the challenge of whether to blend in with their male counterparts in formal business shirts and suits, or whether to stand out with a more feminine, professional look.
In some business settings, wearing any clothing other than turgid grey suits and stiff white collared shirts is deemed unprofessional. In other settings, a woman who dresses in this conservative way is barely even noticed or is seen as being old-fashioned (excuse the pun) and reserved. Isn’t there a happy medium?
When it comes to business clothing, men have it easy. If you’re not wearing a shirt and tie, you’re most likely not in an office. For women, there is a grey area as to what is most appropriate, and it’s difficult to find the right balance between power dressing, smart casual wear and understated femininity. In the workplace, women are judged differently by other women than men. For example, a female superior may view a woman who chooses a conservative wardrobe to be out of touch and frumpy. A man on the other hand, may pass a negative judgment if a woman is too fashionable at work. It’s crucial to find the right balance.
High street women’s clothing stores rarely offer high quality business shirts and suits. There is the customary two flimsy womens shirts in the boring section of the store; but nothing that aims for high quality womens shirts that compare to what’s available for men.
The demand for womens shirts is slowly but surely being met by manufacturers and designers; providing women with a business casual look that can be worn both in the office and in the boardroom. Some mens shirt stores are now offering high quality womens shirts also both online and in retail stores. Finally, fitted womens shirts that aren’t unintentionally see-through! Women’s shirts designed with a woman’s body in mind. It’s now possible to find shirts that flatter the figure, without being overtly suggestive. There are even complete lines of cufflinks for women – to match the shirts – that are professional and stylish at the same time. A silver lining for womens business clothing.
