6. Choose Your Fit
The right fit enhances your appearance and exudes confidence, making you look and feel good. Regarding pants, the right fit should allow you to move freely while still hugging your waist and hips. The waistband should sit comfortably and not slip down, while the legs should have a slight taper or straight cut, avoiding a baggy or tight appearance. When trying on pants, sit, bend, and walk around to test their comfort and fit.
Skirts should also fit properly, sitting comfortably on your waist and hips and falling just above or below the knee for a professional look. A-line, pencil and wrap skirts are popular choices for the office. When trying on a skirt, ensure it is not too tight when you sit and move around, and ensure that the hemline falls at a suitable length for your workplace dress code.
