What is proper business attire in London? Color, styles, etc.?

As a professional woman and a Londoner I like to think this is a subject I can help you on.For men, wear a smart suit with matching jacket and trousers of either a charcoal gray or navy colour-black has become more fashionable of late.Open collars are not really acceptable and shirts should be relatively conservative, blue, light blue or white while ties should not be garishly patterned or over the top.Trainers are NOT to be worn-smart black shoes.You'll find this applies to most smart restaurants.To appear like a true Londoner make sure you are seen clutching the Evening Standard, which is sold across the city and is THE paper to read in LDN.

A nice pant suit. with heels and a conservative blouse. It's a good way to dress conservatively but professional and gauge what everyone else is wearing. Plus, no worries about stocking/hosery getting snagged.

Ah yes! What to wear, what to wear. Well, I suggest a nice tight fitting T-shirt that shows off your chest pecks. Perfered colors are purple, tan, white, and pink. If you hate pink that's ok. Now wear tight jeans, not the jeans that you can see your As- crack or keep pulling up them up past your knees! I mean jeans like the Levis 505, or even 501's. They show the buns of steel baby! Or if you still have a pair of I believe they were Levis 560's that were tapered jeans, they will do nicely also. For shoe, Brand name babbies! Nik, Conver, etc... Socks-white, and make sure you smell really, really nice! I mean brand name stuff, not this is your fathers smell Old Spice style!

Not white: (symbolic of death in China).  Wear a neutral color.  Better yet, tell your secretary, "Thank you for inviting me to your wedding.  I am very honored & I will attend."  Then ask your secretary, "I'm not sure what to wear to a wedding. Would it be appropriate to wear a black suit, or a navy suit?"  This should get a response on how formal the wedding is, too.  I doubt you could go "business casual" (polo shirt & pants) but I could be wrong. She shouldn't be offended at your saying this, but rather flattered that you care how you present yourself to her life-changing event.

It might depend on the standards of the community you are in.  Years ago, black was the colcor of choice where I lived.  The last few funerals I attended people came dressed in a range of various formal and informal styles and colors.  \n\nSo, unless you've got a wardrobe like Sid Vicious or Brittney Spears, I'd guess that the cleanest and most conservative clothes you have would probably be fine.

Yes, walk along Oxford Street and look in the shop windows... Beleive it or not they will sometimes advertise in the window if they need help. If you dont want central London just ask for any word on the South East. Good luck and put your most comfy shoes on for some walkin and a talkin girl...

depends for what occasion, and how much your willing to spend. You can go main stream and shop places like Ralph Loren, or maybe even more designer like Louie vutton? But that'll only result in looking like everyone else. I'd suggest going to Mens Warehouse, I guarantee you'll walk out of there looking pretty sharp.

I would always suggest wearing something professional. For this position I would not wear a dress or skirt or a suit and tie (depending on your gender), perhaps a nice pair of slacks and blouse or button up shirt, and a pair of dress shoes. In my current positon I am not responsible for hiring but I was in my previous position, and I would never hire anyone who came to an interview in jeans, flip flops or sneakers. Even though this position is not one where you will be required to wear business attire your new prospective supervisors will look at the way you dress, speak and look. I always felt if someone took pride in their appearance they would take pride in their job. Hope this helps!

Avoid business casual. Error on the side of being too professional. First impressions count and its rare to make a bad impression by being "too professional" but being too casual can leave a negative impact.\n\nIf you are a man, wear a suit and tie - something conservative like black or navy. If you are a woman wear a suit. If it is a suite with a skirt make sure you wear pantyhose. Avoid bare legs and bare arms.\n\nBut make sure what you wear is comfortable. You don't want to be fidgeting with something uncomfortable in an interview. Also avoid excessive jewelry.

Well, the last time I was in Westminster Abbey for Holy Week services, the Knights of the Garter who occupy the upper seats in the Choir were all wearing suits. Some blue, some brown, some black and some grey.\n\nWhen working in the garden they often wear work clothes.\n\nIf you are referring to times past, you have to specify which country, which time period and what the knight would be doing.

rule of thumb: it's better to over dress than underdress especially in business environment. suit would be good, but depending on how hot outside, you can do a suit with short sleeves. accountemps... better over dress with them.

In my opinion you should always wear professional attire even though the company has a very relaxed or laid back dress code.\n\nThis is key for making a first impression you cannot change.\n\nAs for your second interview I would recommend that you do not wear a nice pair of jeans, high heeled boots, a sweater and a khaki jacket. \n\nYou should wear a professional business suit or a pair of nice slacks with a nice blouse and jacket with business style shoes.\nYou never know who you will be meeting with.\n\nRemember the person who interviewed you already has a job and you trying to obtain one.\n\nCheck out the link below.\n\nBest of luck!

Full sleeve shirt with thin stripes probably in a light shade not to make it too loud . Navy blue or grey pants.....a tie perhaps to show them respect and a formal belt not with any fashionable buckles...to wrap it up.\n       if intrvw does not go well atleast your dress sense will do the talking.....

I would wear a blue suit a white shirt and an attractive tie.  If you think you might have to take your shoes off (for example, if you are picking up members of the wedding party at their homes) you might want to wear dress shoes that you can slip on and off easily.

Right, blue is soothing, red can be stimulating, green speaks to financials - you need a color scheme and mood that is right for the job.  Blue and silver and white can look very professional and tech, while brown and cream can give a feeling of stability.  Check out your competition and see what they are using.  You might find a theme that you want to work with to blend in or you might want something radically different so that you stand out in the field.\n\nWith customers it's always best to start with whatever they have already printed (cards, brochures, letterhead) that's the best place to start when you are aproaching a customer.  They might say they don't, but I always include on design based on their existing stuff and they invariably choose that one.\n\nPeace!
