How To Dress For Every Business Occasion

Whether it is your end of the year work party, a formal event or a team-building experience, you want to be prepared and dressed appropriately.

At AJAY Apparel, we understand that you want to look good and feel good at every work scenario. From formal functions and meetings to your everyday office get up.

Avoid last-minute panic shopping by ensuring you’ve got good quality, staple garments ready for when you need them.

Below we discuss three different potential dress codes and tips for what to keep in your wardrobe for each one.

1. The Formal Dress Code

The formal dress code normally includes a suit or one of our suggested alternatives to the power suit.

Ladies, opt for a long dress or a beautiful pair of trousers with some heels.

You never know when your company will plan a formal get together as a year-end celebration, an awards dinner or even just a fancy lunch. The formal dress code is one you definitely do not want to leave until the last minute.

Our advice? Make sure that you prepare these outfits when you still have time to be picky. You want this look to be perfect, giving you the confidence you need to shine.

2. Semi-Formal & Business Casual

Not only could these items fit into your everyday look, but they are also incredibly useful staples to have on hand.

Dressing semi-formal can be confusing, but you really just need to dress according to the time of day.

For an evening event, a dressy blouse and a pencil skirt will go down well for ladies. Or a good pair of trousers with some pretty shoes and a casual top will work splendidly.

If you’re attending a morning event, perhaps a knee-length dress for ladies and a pair of chinos with a golfer for men.

Save yourself the dilemma of choosing an outfit at the last minute. Keep a good quality pair of trousers, chinos, a golfer, a blouse, a knee-length dress, and a button-up in your wardrobe - ready for that semi-formal invite.

3. Casual Dress Code

All corporate settings require the need for a casual dress code at some point.

Casual dress can be worn for your team building events - such as playing golf or getting your hands a little dirty with some light-hearted fun and games.

Be prepared

You never know when your employers are going to whip out a company volleyball day at the beach or even a laid back picnic with the crew.

We recommend a trusty golfer, as they offer an incredibly versatile look. Ladies, keep the dresses on hand, as well as some leisurewear, or some of our AJAY casual jackets.

Being prepared is our number one tip when it comes to wardrobe.
