In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A velvet blazer is a timeless look that you can wear well after the velvet-revival trend has passed. Some cuts and colors will be more versatile than others, though. Jewel tones like deep reds and blues look gorgeous in velvet and carry the added bonus of transitioning seamlessly from day to night. A form-fitting, structured blazer is most versatile as far as cut goes, while a cropped velvet bomber jacket can be rocked recreationally. Vintage and thrift stores are great places to look for velvet blazers, or you can check out modern retailers Though your velvet blazer is undoubtedly a versatile piece, your go-to velvet jacket can't go with just anything. Since it has such a conspicuous texture, you need to pair it with subtler textures which will offset the velvet rather than competing with it. Cotton, wool, and cashmere are good, neutral-texture options, while shiny silk, tweed, or lace should be avoided. In order to make your velvet blazer look chic but still casual, you should wear something casual or understated underneath. A neutral camisole or tank top are always solid options for work or play, while a funky band t-shirt can add an edge to the classy, velvet vibe. Stripes are also a great way to make a look more casual without being boring. A striped sweater, tee, blouse, or tank top beneath a velvet blazer adds an interesting, sporty twist to an otherwise formal look. A velvet blazer can go with practically anything, including formal trousers, dresses, skirts, and jeans. In order to make it casual, though, you'll want to pair it with some jeans. Distressed and light colored jeans are in style, so feel free to experiment with these trendy looks. When in doubt, though, go for a solid, dark-rinse that looks appropriate in a variety of places and milieus. Boot-cut, skinny, and straight leg jeans will pair well with any blazer. Flared jeans are also making a comeback, but be aware that a dramatic flare under your velvet blazer might make your look overly vintage or costumey. Depending on your personal preference, you can top off your look with a variety of footwear. Flat combat boots or knee-highs will create a particularly laid-back feel to your ensemble, while wedges or heeled booties will add some height and polish to your look while still keeping it low-key. Platforms are back in fashion and can play up to the vintage feel of your velvet blazer without seeming overly retro or antiquated.
Summary: Choose the right jacket. Look for fabrics with different, subtle textures. Wear a casual tank top or sweater under the blazer. Slip on a pair of dark-rinse jeans. Wear flat boots, wedges, or chunky-heeled booties.

Problem: Article: People generally gravitate toward positive, engaging personalities and dislike grumpy, standoffish folks. People are more attracted to individuals who seem to laugh and smile more often. Take time to appreciate the little things at work and when you see coworkers in the morning, make eye contact, smile and greet them by name. Praise the good things they do. When you encounter difficulties, try not to let them get you down. Think of them as opportunities to help you grow through challenging yourself to rise above adversity. Don't worry about problems at work or at home; have confidence you'll solve them when they need to be solved. Don't dwell on workplace mistakes. Instead, celebrate your successes and those of others. At office parties, seek to be the life of such a party without becoming the butt of office jokes. Avoid getting hammered and doing something extremely embarrassing (which would definitely take you off the running list of being the attractive person in the office). Instead, maintain a clear head and approach parties as networking opportunities and as a chance to make your awesomeness even more evident. Confidence shows in the way you carry and present yourself at work. Don't boast about how great you areinstead, walk with pride, make eye contact and smile. Maintain good posture at all times. How you carry yourself sends a clear message to those around you. Standing and sitting tall and walking confidently but with ease will let people know that you have self-respect and personal dignity, qualities which are supremely attractive. If you want to have an attractive personality, be courageous at work. Make decisions that you stand by because you believe in their worth, even when others do not. Share your vision for project outcomes even when others are groaning that it's not possible. Having the confidence and courage to voice positivity and take chances others won't can make you very appealing. Avoid being arrogant or aloof. Instead, be humbly confident in your skills and aptitude. Although you should already be competent and able in your current role, make every effort to avoid coming across as conceited about what you do. There's a fine line between letting your smarts shine and being a braggart. Avoid "tooting your own horn" or pointing out that you think you're smarter or more capable than another coworker.
Summary:
Be a happy, positive person. Be comfortable in your own skin. Be courageous.
