five tips for Boardroom dressing
choose a tailored suit
A well-fitted, high-quality suit is the cornerstone of executive and boardroom attire. Opt for dark colors such as navy, charcoal, or black, and ensure that the suit jacket and trousers are tailored to fit impeccably.
Consider your dress shirt
Choose classic dress shirts in solid colors or subtle patterns like stripes or checks. White and light blue are traditional choices that convey authority and professionalism. Shirts should be neatly pressed and tucked in at all times.
Opt for Conservative Neckwear
Ties should be silk and conservative in style, avoiding flashy patterns or overly bold colors. Stick to classic designs like solid colors, subtle stripes, or small-scale patterns that complement the overall aesthetic.
Polish Your Footwear
Invest in high-quality leather dress shoes that are well-maintained and polished regularly. Classic styles such as Oxfords or brogues are appropriate for the executive and boardroom environment. Socks should be a complementary color to the trousers and long enough to avoid exposing skin when seated.
Consider Your Outerwear
When necessary, layer with a tailored overcoat or a classic trench coat in neutral colors. Avoid overly casual outerwear that may detract from the formal attire underneath.
