Among the other pointers,
there are 3 things you need to
pay extra attention to when
deciding what to wear:
1.
2.
Time of the event: is it
day or night time?
Who will be in
attendance?
3.

What’s the appropriate
color to wear?
We will now delve into each
of these points to clarify their
importance and help you make
a good impression, each and
every time.
For instance, during
the day, at a BBQ party,
you may feel a lot more
comfortable wearing a
linen pant-suit than a
summer dress made of a
satin fabric.
Note: not only the style
of an outfit, but also
the fabric plays a very
important role in how
you will feel, which
you should be mindful
of especially during the hot
summer season!
Who will be in attendance?
Are there people at the event
or gathering that you may
be interested in, for instance,
people you wish to meet for a
business idea you may have? Do
you have a specific purpose for
meeting someone or a group
of people? Dressing to impress
will be the key here… but don’t
overdo it.
On a side-note I must mention
here that some, especially
the younger generation, is of
the opinion that wearing less

Did you ever notice that a lot
of financial institutions use the
color blue in their uniforms or
décor? The reason is simple:
Blue denotes professionalism,
knowledge and skill.
With that being said, it is always
a good idea to wear a blue-
toned outfit when going to a
business meeting, or if you wish
to work professionally with
a person you are set to meet
during an event.
Ladies, this is a valuable tip:
If you are interested in a
gentleman, wearing an outfit
that is appropriate for the time
of day, in the color red, is a
surefire way of ensuring that the
gentleman will remember you
forever. He may not remember
your name but, he definitely
will be able to recall you from
the many faces in the crowd he
would have met that day.
Of course, there are more factors
that influence how you will
be perceived by others. Your
hair, your nails, your make-up,
your shoes… And, next time,
we’ll dig a bit deeper into the
