Dress etiquette Three Principles
Tricolor principle
In the workplace, when people wear formal clothes on formal occasions, they must follow the "three-color principle", that is, the colors of the whole body clothes should not exceed three colors. More than three colors, each more color is more tacky, and the more colors, the more tacky.
Trinity law
This means that if people in the workplace wear formal clothes, they must keep the colors of the three parts consistent, which is the "Trinity Law" in workplace etiquette. The specific requirements are that when men wear suits in the workplace, the colors of shoes, belts and purses should be basically the same; The "Trinity Rule" for women in the workplace is that the colors of shoes, purses, belts, skirts and socks should be the same or similar. Dressed like this, it looks solemn and decent.
Three taboos
First, it is a tacky sign that the trademark of the left sleeve of men's suits in the workplace is not removed. Second, people in the workplace had better not wear nylon stockings, but should wear high-grade cotton socks to avoid odor. Third, people in the workplace should not wear white socks, especially when men in the workplace wear suits and black shoes. It would be really tacky to wear a pair of white socks again.
Dress etiquette guide
First, be neat.
Cleanliness is the basic requirement of dress. This does not require gorgeous and bright clothes, blindly pursuing brands, but requires cleanliness, flatness, simplicity and generosity. Keep clothes clean and tidy, mainly by "four diligence":
One is to change it frequently. Changing clothes frequently and in time not only makes you feel more energetic and confident, but also makes others have a visual change and gives people an upward feeling.
The second is diligent washing. Cleanliness is the minimum requirement for dress. Some secretaries think that what they do is behind the scenes, and dirty clothes are harmless. Actually, this is not right. Dirty clothes not only expose their laziness, but also "pollute" others' horizons, making people feel uncomfortable and disrespectful to the people around them.
The third is diligent ironing. "People are always afraid of wrinkles, and clothes are also afraid of wrinkles." Clothes are not afraid of being worn out, and they are afraid of not being well maintained. We should insist on ironing shirts and trousers and always keep the style correct.
The fourth is diligent inspection. Before going out every day, carefully check your clothes, whether the buttons of your clothes and trousers are buckled, whether your belt and shoelaces are fastened, and whether there are stains and dirt on your clothes. , found that the problem in a timely manner.
Second, we must fit.
Fit is the pursuit of the unity of dress and human characteristics. Clothing can only be natural and harmonious if it is suitable for the human body. The color, style and proportion of clothing should be suitable for the "height and thinness" of the human body. Therefore, too fat or too tight shirts, too big or too small trouser legs, too high "high heels" and inappropriate color matching will all affect people's image. In particular, some secretaries who work overtime for a long time sometimes wear casual shirts, shorts and slippers to work, which seems to be convenient for themselves, but in fact they leave a sloppy impression on the leaders.
We should also pay attention to the complementarity between clothing and human body, and make clever use of the characteristics of clothing to make up for our physical deficiencies. If you don't pay attention to this aspect, you may make your shortcomings more obvious and make people feel very uncoordinated. If you are thin, don't choose clothes with straight stripes, which will make people look thin; If you are fat, don't choose clothes with stripes, which will make people look heavy.
Third, we must standardize.
If you don't follow the rules, you can't be Fiona Fang. One of the most important characteristics of etiquette is to pay attention to norms. When it comes to dressing, it is also very important to follow those established rules and practices.
For example, when a male secretary wears a suit, he must grasp the requirements of "three three". First, the "three-color principle", that is, the color matching of clothes should not exceed three colors, including coats, shirts, ties, shoes and socks; The second is the "Trinity Law", that is, belts, shoes and socks should be kept in the same color (usually black is better), and if you bring a briefcase, the color should be the same; The third is the "three taboos", that is, the trademark of the cuff of a suit can't be removed. In very formal occasions, you can't wear a suit and tie, nylon stockings (which are prone to odor) and white socks.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the seriousness of dress. If you wear a suit, you should wear a tie, and the length of the tie should be at the belt. If you wear a vest or sweater, the tie should be put inside, and the tie clip is usually sandwiched between the fourth and fifth buttons of the shirt. If it is a three-button suit, you can only tie the first button or the top two buttons, but don't just tie the bottom button, let the top two buttons open.
Fourth, from top to bottom.
The main task of the secretary is to serve the leaders, so we should also choose our own clothes according to the leaders' clothes.
First, don't wear the same clothes as the leader. This can easily lead to misunderstanding by others, and even lead to discussion about who is well dressed and who is poorly dressed, and who is good-looking and ugly, which makes leaders and themselves feel embarrassed.
Second, it can't be too different from the leadership's dress style. If the leader dresses simply and you dress too fastidiously; The leader dresses very formally, and you dress casually, which will make others look uncomfortable.
Third, don't dress too prominently. Try to be consistent with the leader in the style, color and texture of clothing. If the clothes are too eye-catching, the "master-slave relationship" will be reversed, which is inconsistent with one's identity.
Five things should be appropriate.
It is appropriate to pay attention to different occasions when dressing. Secretaries dress not only to look good, but also to carry out their work better. You must choose different clothes for different occasions. If you don't know how to be flexible, you may appear neither fish nor fowl, or even make a joke.
If you attend meetings and accompany leaders to receive guests, you should wear formal clothes, such as suits and uniforms. If you accompany the leaders to the countryside, you should wear casual clothes, such as jackets, slacks and sports shoes. This is not only conducive to walking, but also close the relationship with the masses and make the people feel cordial. On the other hand, if the suit is straight and the shoes are shiny, it will give people the feeling of "leadership is coming", which will make the people feel alienated, which is not conducive to understanding the real situation and mastering first-hand materials.
Sixth, timely.
Timely is the pursuit of harmony between dress and nature. Adapted to the variety of nature, there are clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain or shine Dressing according to the changes of the four seasons is not only timely, but also beneficial to human health.
Three etiquette requirements for women's dress
Hat and gloves
On formal occasions, ladies can wear hats indoors and outdoors, but the brim should not be too wide, so as not to be impolite because it blocks others' sight.
When shaking hands, a lady doesn't have to take off her gloves.
Tops and skirts
You should wear an elegant suit (it is appropriate to put on a skirt) to participate in various formal activities (such as meetings and celebrations).
Traditional and classical dresses or national costumes (such as China cheongsam, Indian veil, Japanese kimono, etc.). ) are more suitable for all kinds of cultural and entertainment places.
It is best not to appear in social occasions, especially in the workplace and office, wearing sexy clothes such as topless, bare-chested and bare-shouldered.
