Ladies Business Shirts

Ladies business shirts come in all styles and colors. There are different styles and colors to consider; there are cuffs, colors, collars, and cut. Determining which ones suit your personal style and comfort is what makes these shirts yours.

The different styles available for ladies cuffs include; French cuffs, pointed cuffs, two button cuffs, or no cuffs. Depending on the sleeve you choose you will need to consider the cuffs. Do you want to look French chic? Do you want the ¾ sleeves with the pointed cuffs or short sleeves with no cuff? Then there is the old standby of the button down with the two button cuffs. If you wear a suit jacket over your shirt then sleeve length and cuff style will affect your over all look because the cuffs can be seen outside the suit sleeve. The French cuff would look stylish in this case. Another shirt choice when wearing business suits is to wear a shell blouse. These are stylish and can keep you cooler in the warm weather while wearing a suit jacket.

The colors you choose are also a choice when choosing a ladies business shirt. Do you prefer pin-stripes, solids, prints, bolds, or pastels? Most women consider basic black or grey skirt or pants are more businesslike in appearance but you can dress up basic black with colors. Are you a fall, winter, spring or summer that you need to consider different colors? If you can’t decide on colors then go to your nearest fabric store and check different colors and patterns against your inner arm. This is faster than trying on different clothing and gives you a better idea what colors are best for you. Also keep in mind eye and hair colors. You want to look your best, feel your best and when you do, you can do things you never thought possible. When meeting a new business associate or anyone for the first time, the thing they will notice is how you look, and when you look and feel your best, you will make the best impression.   

Collars are another feature of the ladies business shirt. There are several options here. The boat-neck, v-neck, turtleneck, heart shaped, round, or lapels or plain collars. The shape of your shoulders and neck will help you determine which will look best. If you have large shoulder; then stay away from shoulder pads and necklines or collars that draw attention to the shoulders. If you have a short or long neck; choose your necklines to draw attention to or away from your neck. Consider also how you plan to accessorize. You don’t want to pick a collar that will hide your accessories. If you prefer lapel pins or suit jackets you will want lapels on your shirts to show them off. Necklaces and brooches are nice accessories but the right neckline will be required to show them off.

Then there is the cut of the shirt. Do you want it shaped to show off your waistline, darted to better fit your bust-line or do you want it bloused over to create a different image altogether. Think about whether you will be wearing a jacket or skirt and pants or even a vest. This can help you decide which business shirts are the right ones for you.

Ladies business shirts come in all kinds of styles but deciding the cuff, color, collar, and cut depends on what you are looking for, your personal style and the image you wish to project.
