Going the Skirt way

Monotony of formal tailored clothing can be broken by adding different silhouettes to the business dressing. Formal skirts are available in different styles such as A-line, pleated, with belts, etc can be chosen according to the body types.

Formal skirts are usually in cotton, twill or wool fabric. The best skirt silhouette for office wear is A-line as they create a waistline and widen at hem, balancing out larger hips.

A business skirt can also be combined with waistcoats or formal jackets (with or without collar). This attire gives a complete professional look. To give a cleaner look, the top can be tucked in but not creating a bulge or pull around the skirt waist. Tight skirts should never be worn at work. Formal skirts slit should be at or below the knee. A proper slit in the skirt provides movement flexibility.

They are available in both solid colors and patterns.

Nowadays varieties of fabric patterns are available in skirts like twill. But the color selections for the formal skirts should favor business dressing like black, white, grey, beige or brown. Flashy color tones reflects negative on the other person.

A formal skirt can have elements like a bow on the belt, pleats, godet or buttons. These never have unequal hemline and should be rightly fitted. A business skirt should not be too short that it shows off the thighs on standing or sitting. A mid length falling below or above the knee cap is ideal.

Story of Suit

The man's suit of clothes, in the sense of a lounge or business or office suit is a set of garments which are crafted from the same cloth. The suit is a traditional form of men's formal clothes in the Western world.

The suit is the traditional form of male formal clothing in the modern world, and it has been that way for almost 200 years. Although the modern suit did not appear until the nineteenth century, the origins of the suit coat can be traced back to the revolution in men's clothing set by British royalty as early as 1600.

In the 1660s, King Charles II decreed that at court, men were to wear a long coat or a jacket, a waistcoat, a cravat – which later mutated into the modern necktie – a wig, and trousers. The entire ensemble would eventually become the standard business suit that millions of men wear everyday working day of their life.

By the early 1800s, styles had changed enough that the trend led men to wear understated, beautifully cut, perfectly tailored coats, along with elaborately knotted neckwear.

In the early 1800s, Brummel's style (named after the arbiter of men’s fashion in Regency England) led European men to wear understated, well-cut, tailored suits, adorned with elaborately knotted neckties. Brummel's influence introduced the fashion of the modern suit and necktie.

What we call the modern suit was originally a nineteenth-century American innovation in dress: seeking a casual alternative to the long, heavy frock coats then considered appropriate business dress, men began to wear lighter coats cut just below the waist when not engaged in business.

A formal version of the suit, called a tuxedo or dinner jacket was popularized at the time of world war I, helping to doom the older tailcoat and morning coat worn as parts of formal wear. The waistcoat or vest was worn regularly with the suit until World War II, but is rarely seen today.

Innovations such as sewing machines and more comfortable cloths have had their impact but do not detract from the essential consideration that Tailoring is an art form.

The business formals nowadays are available in wide variety of styles and colors. They keep changing with the emerging new fashion trends.
