3 types of business style

1) Business Formal

Suitable for a meeting with a potential client, a presentation, or a business conference

The previously mentioned attire would fit in this category. But we can add some more details:

For men: within this style, the classic two-piece dark suit would be the most appropriate. When it comes to shirts, the best election would be a plain light-colored long-sleeved shirt, which can be also accompanied by a vest. As for the shoes, the most suitable ones would be classic lace-up shoes, preferably in black or dark brown color. Crown this business attire with accessories such as a tie, a classic belt, a briefcase, or cuff-links.

For women: women would opt for a two-piece dark suit as well; be it a set of jacket and skirt, jacket and trousers, or jacket and a dress. But whichever is chosen, shirts would have the same characteristics as the ones for men. In the case of choosing a skirt or a dress, it is advisable to wear flesh tone tights and heels. Hair should be worn tied back and jewelry should be modest and simple.

This kind of business attire can be observed in establishments such as banks, insurance companies, and political institutions; and implies that the person is respectable and represents a professional company in the public eye.

2) Smart Casual

Suitable for a Global InterGold conference or a meeting with your team

This type of business attire is less strict but equally suitable for conferences.

For men: In this style, wearing a suit or a tie is optional. It can be substituted by a blazer and dress pants. Shirts can be printed, and turtleneck is also suitable. When it comes to shoes, the only requisite is that they should be darker than the trousers.

For women: Colorful clothing and prints are appropriate for women in this style. Wearing a suit is also optional; with a jacket or a vest would be enough. Silk blouses and short-sleeved shirts are normally used in addition to some jewelry, and the hairstyle includes also loose hair.

This is an intermediate option between the formal and the informal business apparel. Smart casual is adequate for leaders when meeting their teams or visit a Global InterGold's office.

3) Business Casual

Suitable for walking around the city and other leisure activities without falling under informal clothing.

There is a wider variety of clothes to choose from within this style. However, it excludes the kind of clothing we would wear if going to the beach or doing sports, for example.

For men: The outfit can include from jeans to sneakers, jerseys, or polo shirts, but tries to avoid very lively colors.

For women: Women can choose different tops, blouses, and shirts. Shoes can be opened and hair loose. Lively accessories such as jewelry can also be worn. However, it is advisable not to wear more than one salient accessory.

You might have noticed that even the most casual styles are referred to as business-like. This is because these outfits are meant to reflect a formal attitude in everyday activities too, if desired.

We hope that these recommendations are useful to you. Follow them especially at Global InterGold's events and see how they can influence your income generation!
