職場女性：着裝成就一番新天地

Working from home allows women to attend conference calls in sweats and send emails at 2 a.m. in pajamas. But at some point you will have meetings with clients, investors, donors, or other business professionals.
在家辦公的條件，使得女性能夠穿着運動服參加會議或凌晨2點穿着睡衣發郵件。不過在某些場合你需要跟客戶，投資者，或其他商務人士會面。

Your attire should not upstage an event or the person you are meeting with. You want to be remembered for your business sense and not for a see-through lacy top or ssories should also be kept modest and tasteful.
你的着裝不應該超出在會議或與客戶見面時表現另類，你應該是因爲個人的商務觸覺而留下印象，而不是一件透明蕾絲邊的上衣或一雙鋒利的高跟鞋。着裝的配件風格必須是保守且有品位的。

Remember, dressing to show off will not impress business men or women, and can hurt your professional image if you draw too much attention to yourself because you may not be seen as a team player.
請記住，爲了炫耀自己而穿的衣服並不會給別人留下良好印象，相反會因你過度的注重自己而損害自己的商務形象，因爲你看起來就不合羣。

International Standard Business Attire
國際標準商務着裝

The standard suit and tie for men and women still has a strong place in the professional world. Tailored dresses, as well as skirts with a blouse and jacket, can also serve as standard business attire for women. Standard business attire is more polished and professional-looking than casual dress.
標準的職業正裝和領帶，仍然在商務圈裏大有市場。熨燙整齊的套裙，配以襯衫或夾克的短裙，也能讓職場女性看起來幹練專業。標準的職業着裝相比休閒裙裝更優雅、專業。

When in doubt, stick with standard business attire to be safe.
如果還在猶豫，那就穿標準的職業着裝以保安全吧。

Business Casual
商務休閒裝

The term “business casual” means different things to different companies. In some companies it may be acceptable for women to wear Capri pants or long shirts – but avoid these for small business dealings. You want to project that you are a business woman, and not look like a mom coming to a meeting from your child’s play date.
“商務休閒裝”在不同的公司有不同的定義。某些公司對於女性員工穿七分牛仔褲或長T恤也是可以接受的，不過在與客戶進行交易的時候就應該避免。你想讓自己看起來是一位職業女性，而不是與小孩的玩耍約定的媽媽。

How to Dress for Business Success
怎麼着裝才能看起來更勝一籌？

For the purpose of business meetings and events women should consider the following guidelines for business attire:
考慮到會議或場合的目的，女性在穿着商務着裝的時候需要考慮以下這些原則：

Wear Tailored Clothing: Tailored clothing always looks better. It pays to invest in several high quality outfits that are interchangeable than in multiple poor quality outfits.
穿着熨燙套裝：熨燙整齊後的衣服永遠看起來更嚴謹專業。那麼相比那些品質稍低的套裝，你就要在替換這些高品質的套裝上投入更多的金錢了。

Color and Patterns: Conservative colors and fabrics remain a standard in business attire for men and women. Wear dark gray or navy pants and suits. Women can also wear black if the clothing itself is professional (cocktail dresses are not appropriate for business meetings).
顏色與款式：保守的顏色和棉質的套裝依然是職場人士的標準着裝。可以是深灰色或深藍色的褲子和上衣。如果套裝本身是職業的，女性也可以穿着黑色套裝（但小禮服就不適合商務場合了）。

Avoid color and pattern extremes. You want to make a statement about your business not a personal statement expressing your passion for purple polka dots. Plaids and subtle patterns that appear solid from across a room are conservative and safest. Wide stripes and fabrics with a high sheen are too distracting for business meetings.
避免極端的顏色和款式：你要表達的是商務意願，而不是穿着紫色圓點衣服表達個人意願。保險的格子圖案和微妙的款式是最保守和安全的。閃閃發光的橫條和纖維圖案在商務會議中實在太容易讓人轉移注意力了。

Pants and Suits: Pants are fine, but stick to tailored pants with a crease. Khaki, twill, and corduroy are good fabric choices for business casual but stay away from denim and heavy cotton materials. Pants and suits made from wool, and wool blends are good standard business attire and work for all seasons. Try to avoid synthetic fabrics like rayon and polyester blends. Make sure pants are pressed and as wrinkle free as possible. The hem should cover the ankle but not drape to the floor. Even if you have a lovely figure stay away from pants that are too tight.
褲子與套裝：褲子是沒多大問題的，請穿熨燙出摺痕的西裝褲子。卡其褲，斜紋布，燈芯絨褲也是不錯的商務休閒裝選擇，不過也要避免那些斜紋的粗棉褲和厚棉紡布做的褲子。羊毛套裝和羊毛混合物所制的正裝都是標準的職業着裝並且四季通用。但請進來避免人造纖維材料的衣服，像人造絲和滌綸。把褲子保持在貼身且不起皺的狀態。褲腳應包裹着腳踝但不至於太長而拖到地上。即使你的身材很好，也不要穿着過於緊身的衣服。

Skirts and Dresses: The right color and material are important but the right length is critical. If you sit in a chair and can see too much thigh with legs crossed or uncrossed the outfit is too short.
裙子：顏色和麪料很重要，但長度則最關鍵。如果你坐在椅子上能夠在雙腳交叉或平放的時候，發現露出過多大腿的部分就證明這條裙子太短了。

If your skirt has a slit it should be small, centered in the back, and no higher than the back of your knee. High slits in skirts are never appropriate. A slit should not impair mobility (walking and climbing up stairs). If you cannot walk comfortably in a skirt it is too small or too tight.
如果你的裙子有一條裂縫，那必須是很小的，並在背後居中的，而且長度不能高於你的膝蓋。長裂縫永遠都不應該出現在商務唱歌。一條裂縫不應影響你的正常活動（走路或上樓梯）。如果你穿着裙子走路並不舒服，那麼裙子要麼太短要麼就太緊了。

Shirts and Sweaters: First rule: don’t show cleavage. Blouses should be tailored and coordinate with the rest of your outfit. Fine-gauge knit shells are fine but be sure any top you choose is not see-through.
襯衫和毛衣：首先：不要暴露胸部。襯衣必須是熨燙整齊的且與套裝是相匹配的。開胸的針織衫是非常好的，但要保證搭配的上衣不能是透明的。

Bras and Panties: Undergarments should support your figure and not show through clothing. If your panty line shows your clothing may be too tight or you might need to wear a slip.
內衣：內衣應該與個人的身材相匹配而不能過於明顯。如果你的內褲痕跡太明顯，那就意味着褲子太緊了，或者你應該穿一條襯裙。

Shoes: Closed-toed pumps in a color that compliments your outfit are best. Do not wear chunky heels, flat soled-shoes, stilettos, or shoes with too much height. It is important to wear shoes that fit well so you can walk comfortably. Shoe color should coordinate with the color of your purse.
鞋子：包腳趾頭的鞋子是最百搭的了。不要穿那些粗短的鞋子，肥大的軟底鞋，細跟高跟鞋或厚重的鞋子。穿鞋最重要的是舒適。鞋子的顏色也要跟錢包的顏色相匹配。

Enjoy wearing your favorite torn jeans while working from home but when you step out into the business world remember to dress as if you are a powerful and successful business woman.
在家工作時可以穿最喜歡的破舊牛仔褲，但當你走出家門，進入職場的時候，就需要穿得像一名霸氣的職業女性。
