Weddings and interviews, fashion statements

What to wear to a wedding It is a matter of big decision about what to wear to a wedding. A wedding is a special occasion

for the bride and the groom so the privilege of looking the best can be left to them. However,

on formal weddings, there is a special etiquette to be followed than normal ones. During the

day a short dress is apt. For formal occasion black tie for men is a must. During the day black

dress would look a bit too overdone whereas white will steal the attention away to you from

the bride who may be dressed in white too.

Cocktail dresses

A semi formal wedding or an informal wedding calls for cocktail dresses. A short dress for ladies

and suit for men with black tie looks just perfect.

For ladies, it is necessary not to coordinate dresses with those of bridesmaids’ dresses. It is

better to look feminine than to look overly sexy in your dresses.

For men

The rule of what to wear at weddings is not that stringent for men. When you do not show up in tee shirts or jeans, you should look fine. Informal dress shirts and trousers will suffice. The dress code is similar for all men all over the world. Informal daytime wear could be slacks, dress shirts and for nights, it should be formal suits.

Tuxedos

Tuxedos can be standard without flashy colors and embellishments. Tuxedos are better not worn during the day.

How to prepare for an interview

First impression creates lasting impressions. Very soon, the boss who has seen you for a short while tends to remember you by your closely cropped hair or by your red shirt. The visual impact is what creates a lasting impression on the mind’s eye. Therefore it is very important to be simple and conservative at the same time when you decide what to wear at the interview. You would add a little oomph to your look which is normal but in no way should you distract the attention of the beholder so that it irritates them.

Black, the safe bet

Black is the safest bet for an interview. When you wear black, it is possible that most of the people would be there in black too.

Some oomph factors

If you do not like to look very plain among the people, use some brooch which is a very natural way to add some detail to the black dress. You can wear some more conservative brooch if it is the interview of a conservative office like the bank.

Shoes

Shoes talk a lot about the person you are and that is a great way to let people know about your style statement. Wear shoes clean, with a little metallic element in them perhaps or of some unexpected color like beige or brown.

Accessories

For ladies, a necklace can be a perfect adornment without speaking too high of her style, she wants to carry. This can make you stand out if you are wearing a decent locket perhaps on a pendant. A nice handbag to match makes a decent style statement too.
