In a corporate environment,the dressing sense and other business etiquttes play an important role,in deciding your professional way of behaviour. So lets see some of the important business etiquettes in this article.

Simple, But Important Grooming Tips:

Perfumes, Scents, and Odors in the Workplace: Do not let the first impression you make about yourself be your personal scent preferences. Avoid wearing perfume and heavily-scented products in all business settings. Never smell like smoke (if you smoke in a car, your clothing will always pick up the odor).

Hairstyling Tips for Business Women: Style should be neat and conservative, and preferably off the face. With few exceptions, hair color should not be shocking or unusual (leave blue hair for Halloween). Hair sprays and gels that have a strong scent or odor should be avoided.

Business Makeup Advice: Keep it simple and appropriate for daytime. Wearing no makeup at all is almost as bad as wearing too much makeup.

Appropriate Jewelry for Business Women: Jewelry should not be noisy (no metal bangle bracelets), too large, or costume jewelry. Keep earrings small, simple, and above the earlobe. It is better to wear no jewelry at all, than too wear too much jewelry. But all business women should at least wear a nice, conservative wrist watch.

How to Present Professional Looking Fingernails and Hands: Women often use their hands to talk with so they become a focal point. It is important to have hands and fingernails looking professional -- not like you are heading out for a wild night on the town. Nails should be clean, and trimmed or sculpted. Avoid wearing unusual or shocking nail colors. Nail art and nail jewels are not acceptable for business meetings.
