14 Dressing Rules Everyone Should Learn Once and for All

How to choose clothes that suit you? “Dress shabbily, and they remember the dress; dress impeccably, and they remember the woman,” Coco Chanel said. It’s hard to disagree with her because clothes are a very important part of our image.
Any flaw can be noticed - especially when you are going to meet someone for the first time. Bright Side has collected the most basic rules that will help you to look perfect all the time.

SUMMARY
The middle button on a jacket should always be closed.
When you are wearing a shirt or a blouse, you can unbutton no more than 2 buttons.
Wear earrings that match your bracelet and a necklace that goes well with your ring.
The tip of your tie should reach your waist and cross it just a little.
Opt for either a miniskirt or cleavage. Both at once look too vulgar.
If you are wearing a shirt without a jacket, you don’t need a tie.
Your office shirt cleavage should not be deeper than 4″ from your collarbone.
If you tucked in your shirt, you should wear a belt.
Your naked skin should not be seen between your cardigan and your jeans. Wear a top if necessary.
Your belt should be the same color as your shoes.
All visible tags on clothes should be cut off.
Don’t wear too many prints.
Your socks should be long enough that your naked legs aren’t seen when you are sitting.
An office blouse without sleeves should cover your shoulders.
Share these tips with a friend of yours who is going to an important job interview or a coworker who is having trouble choosing a tie. Make the world around you a little better!

[@priyasri111]

I never bothered about matching my earrings and bracelet or my necklace and ring. Now I know better.

[@borzix1997]

A set is three pieces. Necklace, ring, a pair of earrings. Full stop. If you want a bracelet as well, leave out one of the former three. If your hands are your most beautiful body parts, it actually makes sense to wear both a bracelet and a ring to call attention to your most beautiful assets. But the third item can be a necklace OR earrings, not both. A woman is not a Xmas tree, after all.

[@imaginativegirl126]

Agree with everything except the one about too much jewelry. I'm one of those people who loves wearing and coordinating lots of different jewelry pieces at once and after putting much thought into how it can be worn I can say there are ways you can make it work. I've stacked lots of rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings all in the same outfit. Stacking jewelry is an art you can learn to be skilled at. The advice offered in this video is for people who don't put too much thought into jewelry, maybe focusing more on the rest of the outfit.

It is amazing how differently people treat you when you look a bit put together and professional. it may not be right, but when we see someone we have roughly 0.05th of a second to formulate an instant opinion of that person. Point is, dress however you want - it is your choice - but be aware that how people perceive you is intrinsically linked to how they will treat you.

This is coming from a girl who got glared/ stared at every day by others for as a teacher once told me ´ looking like a high-class art critic.´ Its just common fashion sense with the weather, stop following trends, find a style that works best for you, and please dress right. :)

[@jexxer]

Here are some more _important_ rules for dressing yourself: 1.) If a color or pattern combination is physically painful or disorienting to look at, it should not be worn. 2.) Never wear a belt and suspenders at the same time. 3.) Never wear clothes with words printed on the butt. 4.) Pants are meant to be worn in a way that keeps butts and underwear fully covered. 5.) Dark colors help hide blood stains. ...What? Number five is good advice for women on their period. Accidental stains aren't that big a deal if your underpants are black.

BRIGHT SIDE ... I'd highly suggest changing the video title, as this only applies to business/professional environments. The title, as is, implies these guidelines apply to everyday situations too, which they do not, most of the time.

[@Mic_Glow]

Most of the time a pretty woman will look amazing no matter what she wears and other people won't care if there is 1 piece of jewelry too much or what not. As for guys.. mismatched socks, oil/ paint/ epoxy stained jeans with burnt holes from angle grinder and a 15 year old shirt is my usual attire. Got decent leather shoes though so maybe one day I'll get laid.

if all of the people in the comments are offended that nobody should tell them how to dress up, then maybe they should read the title of the video before clicking on it. no one forced you to watch a video called 14 dressing rules, you chose to watch it.

Amen. Too many young kids complaining that they want to wear stripper outfits to work. Sigh...

[@S3r0t0nin]

Hamm Hamm wanting to wear things that are appropriate in certain situations is ridiculous or...? Because if you’re saying that, then I’m pretty sure you’re still a little to young to be questioning why you can’t wear anything you want to in a *formal* and *appropriate* situation, where you’re supposed to look *formal* and *appropriate*. You wouldn’t want to wear shorts and crop tops when it’s 10 below degrees outside, or wear a big jacket and a warm sweater when it’s 102 degrees outside, would you?
