  • New Age Power Dressing For Women

    Submitted by ITV Production on May 05

    Power or business dressing for women, is all about blending the casual with the chic. Nothing too loud or flashy, but definitely a criss-cross of buttoned-up business basics along with a weekend warrior full business attire. The rule of thumb here is to be a little conservative yet stylish without being completely casual.

    Says Mita Mangaokar, a fashion designer from NIFT [National Institute of Fashion Technology who has worked for varied clients ranging from Kala Niketan to Scullers," just take a look around at the movers and shakers around you to evaluate your own dress code. I would say, there's no casual- chic look for those pounding the pavement for a new job.

    She further elaborates, " Go in for a business look. Dress appropriately, so that one best projects the image of success in whatever one does. Just take care not to appear too flashy by wearing expensive clothes or a dozen pieces of jewelry. Your attire should send the message that you can fit into the work environment.

    Sari, salwar kameez or shirt/trouser?
    Some years ago, the sophisticated workingwoman waltzed into the boardroom in salwars and saris. Now, several summers later, she has done away with that six-yard mess and the noose e around the neck called dupatta. The working woman has said 'hi' to corporate dressing and slipped into trousers and shirts. On the roads, in your office, at your nearest cafe, she sports work wear that screams comfort and style.

    "I feel more confident and less conscious while attending a business meeting in corporate wear rather than a salwar. In fact, that makes me feel more assertive," says Janet GomGomes a business development manager, whose corporate wardrobe is sprinkled with Allen Solly and Scullers.

    However, not all women are ready to do away with sarees and salwar-kameez, yet. "When it comes to Friday dressing, jackets and well-fitted shirts, make way for jeans and skirts, but I am not ready to write off salwar-kameez so soon. As a change from the corporate dress code, one can opt for salwars once in a while,"says Mohini Mehta , a 40 year old PRO working for a multinational. However, more and more women in twenties are opting for western attire. Semi formal is all time favourite with many as it suits many who attend meetings and then probably meet up for cocktails or dinner.

    Adds Mita, " there's a wide range you can choose from. Arrow has launched blazers, knits and jackets besides the shirts and trousers. The range starts from Rs. 700 onwards. However, jackets come with an expensive tag. The range for jackets starts from Rs. 2500. Allen Solly, Scullers, Westside, Shoppers' Stop and Blackberries too are eyeing the working women. With emphasis on fabric, cut and colour, these brands offer a wide range of trousers that can be matched with shirts, jackets, knits and pullovers. Also, when it comes to fabric, the most preferred are polynosic, cotton, lycra and linen," says Mita

    ACCESSORIES
    Office wear jewellery should be minimal and should give a sophisticated and professional look. "I suggest ear studs or a single bracelet," says Pallavi a senior designer at Tanishq. "A small solitaire diamond looks classy and simple. Platinum goes well with office wear," she says.

    Here, Mita offers some more pointers in accessories:

    Handbags: A 'ladies special' leather brief case or a leather bag preferably in black/brown is ideal for carrying daily to the office. An elegant wristwatch will complete the look.

    Sandals: The right kind of footwear is very important. Leather shoes would go well with semi formal western wear and sandals [not colorful though] would be fine for Indian outfits. They should not be so high as to cause discomfort.

    Hair: Your hairstyle should be neat and your hair colour should be natural-and should also complement your complexion. Wild colours (blue, pink, platinum streaks, etc.) and hair glitter are a no-no.

    Nails: Short, well-manicured nails in one tone, including French manicures, are ideal. Long exotic and colorfully designed nails send the wrong message to a potential employer. rk.

    Make -up too should be minimal and naturalistic. Pastel shades of lipstick with a light eye liner should do fine.

    Last but not the least, look like a winner, as everybody loves a winner.
    * Act as if you are a very important person.

    * Strive to appear like a person with a future.

    * Try to show others that you are going up the ladder.

    * Never lose your composure, even in difficult situations.

    Groom yourself to be a person destined to succeed. And above all, be true to yourself and trust your instincts!

  • New Age Power Dressing For Men

    Submitted by ITV Production on Mar 21

    There was a time not so long ago when suits, ties, and sharp looking clothes were the preserve of a select few: those in the highest echelons of management. No more however. With the economy opening up, and an increasing number of foriegn companies coming into the country, and more Indians travelling globally, dressing sharp has spread. No longer are the Armani and Hugo Boss suits the preserve of the super rich or those in the glamour biz. Today even senior executives don a Ferrigno suit or wear a Givenchy perfume along with a Lanvin tie. The idea is to look good at work, to look competent and efficient, to look sharp, to look like an achiever.

    Also a lot more care is being taken on ones overall appearance, on the frills and accoutrements, hair, skin, accessories and footwear. As long as it adds to that power Greek God look.

    "Power dressing is here to stay," says Chirag Dattani, a fashion designer who runs a studio by his name at Laxmi Plaza in Andheri. "The best part about the whole exercise is that it is not so expensive as there are different ranges available in the market to suit different budgets. One doesn't have to hire a fashion consultant for furnishing one's wardrobe. All one has to do is befriend a salesperson at his/her favourite store to know about changing trends and get valuable suggestions that would enable one to pick up the right stuff. Being a loyal customer would also ensure that you'll be the first to know when new merchandise comes in, or when a big sale takes place," adds the man who has trained from Parsons School of Designs at New York.

    More and more men have started building a 'correct corporate wardrobe' as it helps them to give the right signals. Chirag offers some pointers :

    GOAL: Are you looking for a raise? Are you looking to impress your boss? Are you looking at giving your colleague an inferiority complex? Are you looking at making a client feel at ease with you? Are you looking at charming the lady client? These are questions you should mull over before making your sartorial choices.

    JOB: Cut your cloth, tailor your clothes, depending on your job. Clothes definitely make a man - or a woman. If your job is in administration or finance in the back end of a company, don't dress like you are a yuppy film star. Even if you can afford it. Even if dressing down is in.

    That is if you are working in a conservative job, dress conservatively. Mostly, this is to put your clients at ease and to build up their trust. Will an old lady entrust her life's earnings to a man in a bank who dresses up in frayed jeans (even if they are Ralph Lauren) and a crumpled shirt (no matter how snazzy it looks).

    There are careers which call for a cool dressing approach. For instance in cinema or television, even CEOs such as Sameer Nair and Peter Mukerjea or Kunal Dasgupta don't go the whole hog in their daily corporate attire. Nair can be seen in a nice white shirt, with a smart jacket (no tie) and smart trousers in the corner office at Star House. On other days, one spots him in extremely casual attire, especially on weekends. Dasgupta and Mukerjea don't overdress themselves.

    Says a fashion consultant: "Nair - though he looks like a lawyer - is one of the brightest creative professionals in the country and he deals with creative, business, legal, distribution executives in his company. His dress sense does not put off the creative programming guys nor the serious executive in Star India."

    On the other hand, writers, directors, and actors are not taken seriously if they dress too seriously. Jeans, tight T-shrits, floral or striped shirts, with casual floaters or sneakers complete the look. The days of the jola and khadi kurta pyjama look have essentially gone.

    BE BOLD WITH TIES
    Ties, broad at the base rather than thin and slender ones are in. The colours: don't go for loud ones, dark blues, blacks, greens - as long as they match or contrast your shirt and jacket will make you look sharper. Striped ties too work well though full coloured ones are in these days. If you want to be more aggressive, pick out designer ties or funkier patterns. But be careful not to appear to be pretentious. Like there is this journalist turned entrepreneur in Delhi who claims to live in Los Angeles who normally sports a Marilyn Monroe tie no matter which shirt or jacket he is wearing. This definitely is making a statement but it leads to sniggers. Often time, colleagues and clients have remarked, smiled and guffawed loudly when he is out of ear shot about his strange sartorial sense.

    ACCESSORIES
    The package may look good but what's in it makes it look even better, more complete. Exercise is essential to make you look fit, stand erect, look like a man oozing power. But what makes you look more complete is the embellishments. Your cufflinks, your tiepin. Nice gold ones or black links can add to your appearance.The tableau of colognes and eau de toilettes and parfums has expanded in shopping malls. You have a variety of fragrances to choose from: be they woody or citrony. Take your pick depending on the occasion and your mood. Remember your cologne should be subtle and not be screaming for attention. Make sure your wallet is made of real leather not of a smelly plastic; everytime you pull it out people will appreciate your fondness for the finer things in life. Similarly, an elegant watch should complete your outfit. Brand names always leave an impression, but think sophistication first and foremost.

     

    RIGHT SHOES
    Again, your shoes must be stylish through and through. While comfort should definitely be one of the deciding factors, aim for leather footwear. If possible, avoid rubber soles and opt for leather ones instead. Black, brown and oxblood (i.e. burgundy) are your colors. Always make sure they are properly shined

    Last but not the least, the air of confidence, elegance and comfort is what makes a man a winner all the way!
