Shoes, undoubtedly, are an important part of workwear. Office going women love wearing heels. Obviously, work clothing dictates the correct type of heels that should be worn to office. In many offices, the job is more than just sitting, so the heels that are to be worn should be comfortable, which one can walk swiftly in if required. If the heels are too high, they will hurt your feet after some time and such shoes are definitely not to be worn to offices. Some offices have stringent codes regarding footwear, though they do allow heels which are close-tied. 2-3 inch heels are most appropriate to be worn to office.

While wearing high heeled shoes, you must be careful not to wear gorgeous and flamboyant shoes. You must always opt for sober designs. Try to stick to traditional colors like navy, black or brown. Some business offices will allow you to wear heels of a color matching your work clothing. For example, you can wear dark green heels to match your dark green suit. White colored high heels are not a great option. Red colored heels are outrageous to wear with your daily workwear. However, you would do good to wear them at office parties. Always use shoes that are made of good quality materials like suede and leather. If leather shoes are not your style, use microfiber materials.

The height of the heels may vary depending on the latest trends and weather of the day. In some offices, no restrictions are imposed on the type of shoes to be worn, as long as they don’t create any problems in movement. Remember, always wear shoes that enhance your professional style statement!

Come holidays and most corporate houses and offices plan rejuvenating getaways or picnics for their employees and associates. This offers a good opportunity to you to get to know your colleagues better. You can let your hair down and be yourself.

For the women, the acceptable items of clothing include shorts (but not hot pants), sandals and tees without stark messages on them.

You must also keep in mind the destination or the picnic spot before deciding what casual wear you want to sport for the occasion.

Look your feminine self, chic and demure but at the same time, do remember, you need to be comfortable with what you are wearing to be able to enjoy your day outdoors. If the picnic is on the beach, how about a sundress which does not bare too much or a pair of knee length shorts with a nice bandana or straw hat to match? Well, there is no dearth of ideas for you.

Men, look macho and flaunt the biceps if you have them, but do avoid very tight tee shirts as they would make you appear less of a hunk and more of a ‘wannabe’. Dress smart and comfortable and have fun since all work and no play make all Jacks and Jills pretty dull!
