The sensitive use of colour is a powerful business tool. You will project credibility, and look more healthy and attractive, if you choose the colours you wear in business with care. Traditions established in the workplace mean that some colours now have connotations of authority and formality, and others are associated with a more creative and informal environment. Wear a suit in your darkest neutral with a high contrast shirt for your most authoritative look. A suit in your medium neutral with a toning or low contrast shirt looks friendly and approachable.
Women can express their individuality while looking totally professional.
In work environments where trousers are acceptable for women, a neutral trouser suit with a low contrast shirt can look smart. A neutral skirt or dress with a brighter jacket is acceptable in most situations. Too many bright notes look bitty and unpolished. Before attending a job interview find out if there is a company dress-code and, if possible, go to the premises and take a look at what people are wearing. You might watch them coming out at the end of the day.
