Perfect look for a business lunch

PERFECT LOOK FOR A BUSINESS LUNCH

During the month of December, the well-known company lunches are held, where we have the opportunity to get to know in a different environment how are those colleagues with whom we share most of our time, our day to day.

The most important thing in these company meals and that you should always bear in mind is that your boss or your bosses will be there. Therefore, the basic and essential rule is that we must not clash either with our image or our behaviour.

Depending on the type of business lunch we are celebrating, we should dress appropriately, but as a general rule, this type of event requires us to dress up, we can't just go to work on a normal day, so we have to think about the perfect look to attend our business lunch or dinner.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO A BUSINESS LUNCH?

How should we dress for these events, should we go casual, should we go with a more elegant look, should we go with a classic style of dress?

Don't worry about these questions, because we are going to give you some perfect tips that will help you to choose the right look for your business lunch.

First of all, it is important to be clear about a series of points that will completely define our look.

THE PLACE WHERE THE BUSINESS LUNCH OR DINNER IS TO BE HELD

 We have to differentiate when choosing our look if the business lunch is going to be held in a medium/high level place such as a good restaurant or in a more casual place.

If the choice is the first option, men should wear dress trousers, a plain shirt with no patterns and may or may not wear a tie.

Women however have a wide range of possibilities to choose their look, as they can choose between a velvet or combined dress, a skirt with some shine, a jumpsuit with a feather detail or a pair of trousers with a different touch, even to give it a more elegant touch with some of this season's top accessories such as headbands.

There are no rules in reference to the colours for the garments we should wear, but we must remember that we must not stand out, we can have that striking touch but if we combine it with a complement or garment that lowers its intensity.

However, if the option chosen by management is a more casual place, our look should be more informal but always with that special touch that these dates allow us.

The ideal is to choose an outfit that mixes sporty garments with a slightly more elegant garment, complement or accessory such as a satin shirt, a jacquard skirt or trousers with a bit of shine, some feathers... We have many options! We could choose a more formal dress and give it that sporty touch with a leather jacket or a bomber jacket.

It is important to know whether the event will take place during the day, as it is a business lunch, or whether it will be held in the evening, as it is a business dinner.

This factor is very important when it comes to choosing the colours and accessories with which we will compose the looks for the business lunch or dinner.

If it is a business lunch, the colours we should use will be lighter; such as whites, pinks, but if it is a business dinner, the colours will be darker; such as blacks, dark blues, greens. Also, the use of glitter is more for the night than for the day, but this season allows us to play with glitter in our daytime looks as well.

As for the choice of make-up, during the day for business lunches it should be more natural and in the evening for business dinners it can be more elaborate and use darker and more intense colours.
