Length of the skirt

Formation of the foundations and rules of business style in clothing lasted for several decades, but the legendary Coco Chanel arranged all the accents by introducing into the office dress code a female double suit consisting of a jacket and trousers or a skirt. But some changes in office fashion with time still occur, so a modern lady should know how long the skirt must be in accordance with the rules of business etiquette. We suggest you familiarize yourself with simple but very important rules that will help to avoid annoying mistakes that are unacceptable in the world of modern business.

Business and corporate dress code

It has long been known that the length of the skirt according to the business dress code is optimal if the hem reaches the knees. There are no liberties in serious business structures and can not be. In some companies, the requirements for employees' clothes are even spelled out in the contract, and their violation is the reason for dismissal. It would seem, how can the length of a woman's skirt affect the productivity of the work? The fact is that every employee is a person of the company, and his appearance is indicative of the status, observance of the rules of corporate ethics and even about the income level. But you must understand that a skirt that meets the requirements of a dress code is not a faceless uniform. If you are not able to change anything with respect to a style that assumes a direct classical cut and a fixed length, then the choice of fabric, its texture and color depends only on you! But here there are restrictions - the skirt should not be light, enlightened and too tight-fitting. All shades of dark gray, brown, blue are allowed.

Before choosing the length of the skirt, it is worth checking with your colleagues whether minor deviations from the generally accepted norms are allowed. The fact is that some companies make concessions to women, allowing you to wear skirts a little higher or slightly longer, because the standard length is not for everyone.

And how to choose the length of the skirt, if the dress code is missing? It is believed that the optimal length for each girl is measured in the following way: it is necessary to stand in front of the mirror, lower the right hand along the hip, the point of touch of the index finger with it and will indicate the ideal length for your growth. Short skirts and skirts go to all slender and long-legged girls, with full hips it is better to wear the length of midi or maxi (slightly tapering downwardly shaped), and the thin legs will perfectly hide the magnificent skirt or skirt-sun length to the ankle.
