Stylish garments - the key to success or simple conformity?

Have ever thought why some people are followed by success systematically and some need to overcome many difficulties? Does it really mean that their IQs are lower or they are less smart? Of course, no. There are some eternal rules concerning stylish garments, which are considered to be minor by the majority. In vain, I suppose sometimes you shouldn't forget certain dress codes. The plain white shirt and a sober choice of ties (very often the variety of colors is proposed by the firm itself) have been the corporate uniform of men at work over the years. Yes, perhaps, these clothes are hardly supposed to be stylish garments, but such is the corporate conformity.

Only in some advertising agencies and creative companies workers let themselves showing their individuality by wearing some posh and stylish clothes.

Besides, the little black dress is an appropriate part of stylish clothes for a French secretary, but seems a bit flimsy for a businessperson in a Muslim community.

The best advice for the international businessperson is to follow the side of conservative stylish clothes not to get into the awkward situation. You should be aware of signals you send through your dress toilette. One more point concerning dress issue should be remembered. Generation differences should be taken into consideration as well. For example, the tie might be a badge of honor for the supporter of traditional English stylish garments, but could be considered an old-fashioned military by the younger generation.
