Many professionals wear a jacket as part of their business attire. Select a jacket that is complimented by your shoes, slacks or skirt, shirt or blouse, tie, jewelry or other accessories. It should be current with the acceptable business trends, but not too "fashion forward" - neutral in color and age appropriate. Check for color, texture, pattern and overall style compatibility.
1. A jacket should either be part of a matching suit or not be too close in color to your pants or skirt. Generally, only one pattern, texture, or type of fabric should prevail.
2. Keep a double-breasted jacket buttoned.
3. If you normally work without your jacket on, a long-sleeved shirt or blouse looks much better than a short-sleeved one, even with sleeves rolled up to the elbow when it's hot.
4. As a sign of respect, put on your jacket when - or before - an outside client or boss enters the office.
