business dress etiquette principles and suggestions 1

top principle of dress (T-time: O-Occasion occasion: P-place location)

The basic requirement of dress is cleanliness, which should not only conform to the aesthetic feeling of fashion, but also properly reflect the style of personality.

To wear decent clothes, you need to know the characteristics of your body shape first, and make full use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses when dressing to show your best appearance. In terms of clothing styles, it is suggested that sales representatives choose clothes with simple styles, because such clothes are easier to match and will look natural and graceful. For styles that are too trendy, exaggerated and not suitable for you, it is better to avoid them.

The depth of color will give people different feelings. For example, dark clothes will make people feel visually contracted, which will make them look solemn. Light-colored clothing will have a sense of expansion, making people look relaxed and lively. Colors can also be divided into warm and cold tones, which give people a steady or light visual effect respectively. For example, cool sapphire can give people a calm feeling, while warm orange can often give people a passionate impression. Therefore, you can choose and match colors according to your different needs.

In short, clean and tidy clothes that are harmonious and suitable for you will reveal natural beauty and charming charm between manners. If you want to learn how to dress, you need to pay attention to the top principle of dress.

top is the abbreviation of three English words, which stand for time, occasion and place respectively, that is, dress should be coordinated with the time, environment and place at that time.

1. Time principle-dress should change with time

If you meet potential customers who have just met during daytime working hours, it is recommended to dress formally to show professionalism; And in the evening, weekends, holidays and informal occasions with customers, you can dress more casually. Because after work, customers dress casually in order to relax themselves, so if you dress too formally, you will leave a stereotyped impression on customers. However, if you attend a more formal dinner, you need to follow the principle of occasion and wear formal dinner clothes.

Every year there are four seasons, namely, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season should have clothes suitable for the climate characteristics of the season. If you wear them too thinly in winter, customers will feel uncomfortable. In summer, customers will feel conservative and out of date when they wear heavy clothes. Therefore, when dressing, we should choose clothes that are suitable for the climate.

besides changing with time and season, clothes should also conform to the trend of the times. Although blindly following the trend may not produce good results, it will also make you incompatible with others if you deviate from the characteristics of today's times and the aesthetic standards of the public.

2. Occasion-the dress should change with the occasion

Occasion can be divided into formal and informal occasions. In formal occasions, such as meeting with customers, attending formal meetings or going out for dinner, the sales staff should wear solemn and elegant clothes. Men can wear better suits and ties, and women can wear formal professional suits or evening dresses. In informal occasions, such as friends' parties and outings, the clothes should be light and comfortable. Imagine that if a lady wears high heels and a narrow skirt to fly, she will find it inconvenient for herself. Similarly, if you wear casual clothes to attend a formal dinner, it is not only disrespectful to the host of the banquet, but also embarrassing yourself.

3. Place principle-dress according to local conditions and do as the Romans do.

Place means the place where you are or the place where you are going.

if you receive customers in your own home, you can wear comfortable casual clothes, but it should be clean and tidy; If you are visiting a customer's home, you can wear a professional suit or a clean and tidy leisure shade; If you are visiting a company or unit, wearing a professional suit will look professional; You can wear something relaxed and casual when you go out for an outing; When visiting the hotel and demonstrating the efficacy of products in the kitchen of the Chinese restaurant in the hotel, you should just wear light clothes, because if you demonstrate products in the kitchen in a well-dressed manner, it will not only hinder the demonstration operation, but also make others reject you and feel that you do not belong to their circle.

In short, dressing should be in harmony with time, occasion and place. This will not only make you feel comfortable and confident, but also leave a good first impression on customers, arouse their goodwill and enthusiasm for you, and be willing to talk with you, which will make the relationship between the two sides harmonious and friendly invisibly, otherwise, it will seem out of place with this environment and even ridiculous.

(1) Men's dressing knowledge

When meeting customers, you can wear a collared T-shirt and trousers to make yourself easy-going and friendly, but you should avoid wearing jeans to avoid being too casual. If you are going to the customer's office, you are generally required to wear a suit, because it will look solemn and formal. In all men's clothing, the suit is the most important dress. Wearing a proper suit will make you look radiant, elegant, rich in connotation and outstanding. Here, we will discuss with you the most exquisite formal clothing for men-suit.

suit: the most important thing in choosing a suit is not the price and brand, but many details including fabric, cutting and processing technology. In terms of style, it should be simple and pay attention to the material, cutting and handwork of clothing. In terms of color selection, monochrome is appropriate, and it is recommended to have at least one dark blue suit. Dark blue shows elegance, rationality and stability; Gray is moderate, peaceful, solemn, rested and distinguished; Coffee is a natural and simple color, which is kind and unique. Dark navy is generous and steady, and it is also a common color tone, which is more suitable for yellow-skinned orientals. In addition, the wearing of a suit should also pay attention to the collocation with other accessories. For example, the length of trousers should just touch the upper.

Ties: Men who know how to pack themselves pay great attention to the decorative effect of ties, because ties are the finishing touch. In addition to the color must be coordinated with their own suits and shirts, but also require clean, flat and wrinkle-free. The length of the tie should be appropriate, the tip of the tie should just touch the belt buckle, and the width of the tie should be in harmony with the width of the lapel of the suit.

Shirt: Collar type, texture and style should be coordinated with coat and tie, and color attention should be consistent with personal characteristics. Pure white and sky blue shirts are generally necessary. Pay attention to the clean neckline and cuffs.

socks: it is better to be long than short, and it is better not to show your feet after sitting down. The color of socks should be coordinated with the suit, and dark socks are safer, because light socks can only be matched with light suits, not with dark suits.

shoes: the style and texture of shoes also directly affect the overall image of men. In terms of color, it is recommended to choose black or dark brown leather shoes, because these two colors of leather shoes are unchangeable classics, and light leather shoes can only be matched with light suits, which will give people a top-heavy feeling. Casual style leather shoes are best matched with a single piece of leisure suit. No matter what shoes you wear, you should pay attention to keeping your shoes bright and clean. Smooth leather shoes will give people a professional and tidy feeling.

Three taboos for men to wear suits

① Suit or quilt-choosing the wrong material, not paying attention to ironing, bulging pockets, and labels on cuffs, is not decent in any way. Don't fit.

Many men think that wearing a suit with loose lines and big shoulder pads can support a man's posture. In fact, the most important thing for a suit to wear decently is to fit.

on the premise of fit, consider your face, height and shoulder width to choose a suit.

② Avoid stuffing things

Suits pay attention to smooth lines. When wearing a suit, it is better to keep the things in your pocket as simple as possible, and it is best to put only one wallet. Don't pin pagers, mobile phones and large strings of keys on trousers, which will destroy the overall feeling of the suit.

③ Avoid improper matching of socks

In the matching of suits, socks are also details that reflect men's taste. The texture of socks should be cotton. The colors of standard suits and socks are black, brown, gray and blue, mainly monochrome or simple jacquard. Attention should be paid to making trousers, shoes and socks the same or close in color. Socks should not be exposed.

(2) Women's dress suggestions

Keep clothes flat

Wrinkled clothes will make people think you are sloppy, while flat clothes will make you look refreshed, so you should keep your clothes ironed flat. It is recommended to consult the clothing clerk when buying clothes, and choose more fabrics that are not easy to wrinkle.

socks should be transparent and approximate to skin color or properly matched with clothes. You can choose socks with light color or similar skin color in summer. In winter, the color of clothing is dark, and the color of socks can also be deepened appropriately. Female sales representatives should put a pair of spare stockings in their purses so that they can be replaced in time when they are dirty or damaged to avoid embarrassment. I would like to remind ladies not to wear snagged stockings, which will make your feet very conspicuous.

Appropriate amount of accessories

Skillfully wearing accessories can make the finishing touch and add color to ladies. However, it is not advisable to wear too many accessories, otherwise it will distract each other's attention. When wearing jewelry, you should try to choose the same color system. The key to wearing jewelry is to match with your overall clothing.

Two taboos for women

① Avoid revealing clothes

In summer, some women will wear "cool" clothes, which really add a beautiful scenery to the hot summer. However, such clothes are not suitable for all occasions. In formal occasions, if you wear clothes that are too revealing, too tight, too short and too thorough, such as shorts, vests, miniskirts, tights, etc., it will easily distract customers' attention, and at the same time it will make you unprofessional. In addition, we should also pay attention not to expose underwear, petticoats, socks, etc. outside the coat.

② Avoid wearing "underwear"

It's comfortable to wear casual clothes at home, but it's very rude to wear them in public. Never wear only pajamas, underwear, shorts or bathrobes when receiving guests and guests in your home or hotel room. This also applies to men.

in short, wearing professional clothes must be neat, straight and square. The so-called neatness means that the clothes must be reasonably matched, and the clothes and trousers are free from dirt, oil stains and odor; The so-called straightness means that the clothes and trousers are not wrinkled, the coat is flat and the trousers are straight; The so-called generous, refers to the clothes style concise, elegant, natural and smooth lines.
