The importance of appearance and dress etiquette in the workplace
There is an old saying in China: "Clothes make a man depend on his horse and saddle", and there is another saying: "A Buddha needs gold clothes, and a man needs clothes". If you want to build a good image, you need to pay attention to your appearance in all aspects. From clothes, hairstyles and makeup to accessories, manners and even nails, you should pay attention to them. Among them, dress is the most important, and dress shows your attitude towards work and life in a certain sense.
Clothes have a great influence on appearance, and most people's understanding of another person can be said to start from his clothes. Especially for business people, clothing itself is a weapon, which embodies your personal temperament, personality and even inner world. A person who lacks taste in clothes is bound to be at a disadvantage in the office war.
Wearing a proper formal suit at work is worth a thousand words. What kind of clothes do you choose to wear? Are you wearing the same clothes? As an "enterprise warrior", have you tried many different styles? Please let your beauty play to the extreme, so that as soon as you step into the office, people will feel that you are refreshing and intellectual, or look particularly dazzling and comfortable!
For example:
● Cheer up with a neat suit;
● Choose a brightly colored coat, and the cheering mood will jump accordingly;
● The gray suit jacket looks steady and full of knowledge;
● Sleeveless dress with long silk scarf becomes casual.
These are just a few points. Fundamentally speaking, clothing is not only to show the exterior, but also involves the establishment of self-image Sometimes, it appears in the basic form of all black and black and white, which is more suitable for the atmosphere and environment at work.
As a professional, it is common and necessary to match clothes according to occasions, people and events. For male and female office workers, it is best to match clothes according to the occasion, crowd and time. Some occasions must be cordial, so you need to dress generously and simply; When talking with bankers, you need to dress up smartly to win the trust of the other party; When gathering with literary and art circles, it is best to dress in fashion and be full of humanistic atmosphere; Besides going to work lightly, you have to have professional authority?
When we go to work every day, we don't have to pay too much attention to dressing up. Dress and dress to suit yourself and your needs, instead of deliberately emphasizing too much. Forming your own unique dressing style will win everyone's praise. Regardless of whether the income can meet our requirements for clothing, clean, comfortable, simple and generous clothing is the most important, coupled with kind and polite manners, it can give people a natural and graceful impression.
Taboos of workplace etiquette
Call the boss by his first name.
People who address their bosses by Chinese or English names are sometimes senior executives who have a special friendship with their bosses, and sometimes they are old friends who have known each other for a long time. Unless the boss himself says "make yourself at home, you can call me XXX", subordinates should address the boss with "honorifics", such as "Vice President Guo" and "Chairman Li".
2. Use "high decibel" to make personal calls
It is very inappropriate to talk about personal calls in the company. If you still speak recklessly, it will drive your boss crazy and affect your colleagues' work.
Don't turn off your phone during the meeting.
"Turn off your cell phone or vibrate during a meeting" is a basic workplace etiquette. When someone is giving a briefing or doing something, the following mobile phone rings, and the meeting will inevitably be interrupted. This is not only disrespectful to the people on the stage, but also disrespectful to other people attending the meeting.
It is impolite to ask the boss to carry heavy things out to negotiate with him, and you should try your best to do it for him, so that the boss can carry half of the things with you. In addition, male colleagues and female colleagues go out together. If men can act like gentlemen, help women carry things and open and close the car door, this considerate effort will win more popularity for you.
5. Call yourself "sir/madam"
When you call someone, don't leave a message saying, "Please tell him I'm Mr./Ms." The correct statement should be to say your name first, and then leave your job title, for example, "Hello, my name is Wang, and I'm the marketing director of OO Company. Can you call me back when you get this message? My phone number is xxxx, thank you. "
6. Being late, leaving early or arriving too early
Please don't be late or leave early for work or meetings. If you need to be late and leave early, you must bring it up the day before or earlier, not just temporarily. In addition, it is impolite to arrive too early, because the host may not be ready, or there are other guests, which will cause trouble to the other party. If you have to arrive early, you might as well call the host first and ask if you can make an appointment in advance. Otherwise, hang it first and go in when the time is up.
7. Look up or down, just say hello to the boss.
It's too realistic to say hello only to the boss and other "experts"! Don't forget to say hello to the secretary or children around the boss.
8. The boss treats you and chooses expensive meals.
It is very impolite for others to invite you to dinner and choose expensive meals. The price should be around the catering price chosen by the host. If the host asks you to choose first, it is enough to choose the one with the same price. Don't take others' good as Kai Zi.
9. Don't drink water poured by others.
It's impolite for the host to pour you water without touching a drop! No matter how thirsty you are and how much you hate this drink, you should raise your glass, take a sip and then put it down. If the host makes tea or coffee himself, don't forget to praise him.
10. Wear whatever you want.
Dressing casually may make you look young and distinctive. However, when you go to work, you should look like you have to go to work. Wearing professional clothes helps to improve your work image and is also a basic respect for your work.

Dress etiquette in a suit
(1) suit style and occasion. There are two kinds of suits that men often wear now. One is a single-breasted suit with flat lapels and a round hem. The other is a double-breasted suit with a gun lapel and a square hem. In addition, there are differences between suits (formal clothes) and one-piece jackets (simple clothes). This suit requires the same top and bottom fabrics and colors. These two-piece suits and a vest (vest) of the same color and material make a three-piece suit. If the suit is used for formal communication occasions, the tone should be darker, preferably wool. In semi-formal communication occasions, such as attending a plenary meeting in the office, you can wear a lighter suit. In informal situations, such as going out to play, shopping, etc. If you wear a suit, it is best to wear a single coat with pants of other colors and fabrics.
(2) The essentials of wearing a suit. Double-breasted suits usually have buttons. Wear a single-breasted suit. If there are two buttons, only the top button is pressed; if there are three buttons, the middle button is pressed. On some informal occasions, buttons can be left unbuttoned. When you wear a suit, the cuffs of your shirt must be buttoned. There is usually a buttonhole on the lapel of a suit, which is called the flower arranging eye. Used for arranging flowers at weddings, funerals or grand banquets and ceremonies. In China, people generally don't have this habit. It is not advisable to put too many things in the pockets and trouser pockets of a suit. You'd better put things in the left and right inner pockets of your suit. There is a pocket outside the left chest of the suit, which is used to insert a handkerchief.
(4) suits and ties. A tie is the soul of a suit. Anyone who participates in formal communication activities should wear a suit and tie. The length of the tie should be at the belt buckle. If you wear a vest or sweater, the tie should be put behind your back. A tie clip is usually sandwiched between the fourth and fifth buttons of a shirt.
(5) suits and shoes and socks. It is not advisable to wear cloth shoes, sandals or sneakers when wearing a suit. A solemn suit should be paired with dark brown or black leather shoes. The color of socks is darker than that of suits, and the color should be as simple and generous as possible.
When a man wears a suit, the most eye-catching thing is usually not the suit itself, but the tie. Therefore, the tie is called the "finishing touch" of the suit. A man with only one suit can often give people a refreshing feeling every day as long as he changes different ties frequently.
Ties belong to men's accessories, so women generally don't wear ties. It is better for a man to wear a suit than a tie, so a tie is also called "the soul of a suit". When wearing a suit, especially a suit, it is often eclipsed by not wearing a tie.
First of all, the style of the tie
The style of tie, that is, its shape and appearance. Generally speaking, it is wide and narrow, mainly influenced by fashion. When making a choice, we should pay attention to make the width of the tie directly proportional to the width of the body, rather than the contrast is too great. It also has the difference between an arrow and a flat head. The lower end of the former is an inverted triangle, which is suitable for various occasions and is more traditional. The latter has a flat bottom, which is more fashionable and more suitable for informal occasions.
Second, how to tie a tie
Pay more attention to the knot, length, position and accessories when wearing a tie, so as to tie the tie perfectly.
(1) knotting method
Whether a tie is good or not depends on how well it is played. There are three skills to tie a tie. First, it should be straight and crisp, and the appearance is inverted triangle. Secondly, when tying the bow tie, you can intentionally press a nest or a ditch under it, which looks beautiful and natural. Third, the specific size of the tie knot cannot be completely independent, and it should be roughly proportional to the size of the shirt collar worn at the same time. It should be noted that it is not appropriate to wear a tie when wearing a stand-up collar shirt, but it is more appropriate to wear a bow when wearing a wing collar shirt.
(2) the length of the tie
The ties used by adults in daily life are usually about 130- 150 cm long. After the tie is finished, the outside is a little longer than the inside. Its standard length should be that the lower end just touches the upper end of the belt buckle. In this way, when the coat is buckled, the lower end of the tie will not "poke" under the skirt. Of course, the tie should not be too short, and you should not jump out of the skirt easily. Therefore, it is not recommended to choose a "one-pull" tie or a "one-set" tie whose length is difficult to adjust on formal occasions.
(3) the position of the tie
After the tie is tied, it should be placed in a regular and established position. Wear a suit jacket and button it, and the tie should be between the suit jacket and the shirt underneath. When wearing a suit vest, sweater or wool vest, the tie should be between them and the shirt. It's abnormal when you wear an extra sweater, so it's best not to appear. You should put the tie between the innermost sweater and shirt, and don't let it escape from the jacket, or between the jacket and vest, between the sweater, cashmere sweater and wool vest, not to mention between two sweaters.
(4) Accessories of ties
When wearing a tie, under normal circumstances, you don't need to use any accessories. When Xu Lai is breezy and running at a brisk pace, letting his tie flutter gently can add a bit of chic and handsomeness to men. Sometimes, I will use tie accessories as appropriate, either to reduce the inconvenience caused by the arbitrary fluttering of my tie in action or not to hinder my work and actions. The basic function of tie accessories is to fix ties, followed by decoration. Common tie accessories include tie clips, tie clips and tie clips. Used in different places, but not at the same time. Only one can be selected at a time. When choosing tie accessories, we should pay more attention to metal products, with plain colors as the best, and elegant and concise shapes and patterns.
The tie clip is mainly used to fix the tie on the shirt, not only the tie, but also the coat collar. The correct position of the tie clip is between the fourth button and the fifth button of the shirt from top to bottom. It's best not to show it after buttoning the suit jacket. If you clip it too high, even at the opening of the collar of a cardigan or vest, it will look very rustic.
The tie clip is mainly used to fasten the tie to the shirt and play a certain decorative role. One end is a pattern, which should be outside the tie, and the other end is a thin chain, which should not be exposed. When using, the third button on the top and bottom of the shirt should be placed in the center of the tie. Its patterned side should be invisible to outsiders. But be careful not to mistake the tie needle for the collar needle.
The tie clip is mainly used for shirts with buttons, ties, and fixed on the neckline of shirts. Using a tie stick, if done correctly, will make the tie look elegant and less troublesome in formal occasions.
In a word, when using tie accessories, I'd rather not use them or use them indiscriminately.
dress etiquette
First, we should pay attention to propriety and overall beauty in dressing. Only beauty and courtesy can meet the etiquette requirements. All kinds of fashion shoes and casual shoes don't match formal clothes. When wearing a suit, you must wear leather shoes with the right color and avoid wearing a hat. Don't stuff your pants pockets in your suit.
Second, you should take off your hat, coat or raincoat when attending social activities and entering indoor places. Men should never wear hats and gloves indoors, let alone sunglasses. Don't wear sunglasses when welcoming grand ceremonies or welcoming ceremonies outdoors. When you need to wear colored glasses for eye diseases, you'd better explain and apologize to the guest or host, or take off your glasses when shaking hands or talking, and then put them on when you leave.
