Problem: Article: Traditional business suit jackets clash a bit with khakis, as they are a casual look and fabric. To dress up your pants, choose blazers in flat fabrics, such as corduroy or linen, to match khaki's less formal feel. Opt for a soft-shouldered jacket to avoid an overly structured look on top since your pants are more casual. Choose blazers in neutral colors that complement khaki, such as navy, brown, maroon or olive. Leaving your jacket unbuttoned also adds to khaki's easygoing appeal. If you're a man, adding suit accessories, such as a pocket square and tie, elevates your khakis and makes your look seem more complete. Chose accessories that are in a flat fabric to better match the informality of your pants. For a feminine look, layer on classic jewelry such as pearls, or opt for a high heel in a nude color to dress up your look and make your pants less casual. Cotton pocket squares and knit ties are great options to make your khakis dressier. Try a tucked-in oxford dress shirt to give your look a more tailored appearance. Leather is a natural companion of khaki and can elevate your appearance. Try a brown leather belt and shoes to complement your khakis and bring your dressy look together. If you're not a fan of brown, a nude shoe or suede shoe in hunter green or navy can give your look some polish. Black accessories usually provide too much contrast, both in color and formality, to be worn well with khakis. Save them for a more formal suit or dress. Women can opt for a thinner belt to add a finer touch to the look. Layers make any look appear more expensive and polished. Elevate your khakis by adding a sweater, vest or pea coat over a button up shirt and tailored khakis. For a more feminine touch, boots, camisoles, cardigans, and jewelry can provide more depth to your look. Khaki can have a utilitarian look. You can give your khakis an unexpected twist by pairing them with softer pieces like a lace top or silk scarf. This provides nice contrast.
Summary: Pair them with less structured jackets. Add dressy accessories. Embrace leather accents. Layer to add visual interest. Play with expectations.

Problem: Article: Depending on your audience, some formats might be more effective than others. If this decision hasn't already been made for you by your employer, pick a format you think will be appropriate for your audience. If your audience will be reading your document while carrying out a task, a technical manual or instruction sheet made up of bullet points and possibly diagrams may be most effective. On the other hand, if you are hoping to inform professionals about new research in their field, an article or newsletter format might be best. Before you actually write your document, create an outline to organize and plan your content. This will not only make writing easier, it's also a good way to ensure that the information you have deemed most important will all be present, and that it will be organized in a way that will make sense to your audience. Outlines are also a good way of developing headings for the different sections in your document, which will be useful in helping readers identify the key pieces of information they are looking for. One of the most valuable things about audience analysis is that it allows you to select a writing voice that will be compelling and effective for reaching your audience. The right choice of words and sentence structure can make a big difference in getting your message across to your audience. For example, if your audience is highly educated and/or well versed in the topic you are writing about, the use of highly specific and technical vocabulary may be acceptable or even helpful. If your audience is not well informed about your topic, such language should be avoided. Likewise, if your audience is likely to be reading your work while carrying out a specific task or in a work environment with many distractions, the use of short, simple sentences is advisable. If they'll be reading your work at home and giving it their undivided attention, varying sentence length and structure will make your writing more compelling and enjoyable. Most importantly, knowing what your audience hopes to learn from the document you are crafting will allow you to make sure that the information they need most is presented in a way that is easy for them to locate and understand.
Summary:
Consider your format. Create an outline. Set the tone. Address the audience's needs and objectives.
