HOW FORMAL WEAR HAS BECOME LESS POPULAR IN WORKPLACE
Tumblr media
A student pursuing bsc in fashion designing says 5-7 years back the trend of wearing formal clothes at workplace was way different from what it is today. During those years it used to be a compulsion for almost every employee in an organization to wear formals, be it small sized or big sized. Wearing formal clothes to work was understood to be the inherited way. It was the only way known by that time.
Wearing formals was thought to be the only way which awakened a sense of work ethics within an employee when he/she was found to be in mood for spending the evening chilling and doing nothing, not saying that any human is not allowed to have rest moments in between his/her daily busy schedule but it really doesn’t bodes well for head of any organization that his/her employee spend a gala evening at the office says a professor at an institute for fashion designing in Delhi.

With time it became more and more clear that close fitted suit and tie were proving to be a hindrance in working capabilities of employees rather than improving their working capabilities says a student with degree in fashion designing. What also changed was the average age of company’s owner and employees, which meant generation gap started. The new owners were a lot open minded in these things and were ready to bend certain rules for the overall betterment of the company says a student who’s taken up mba in fashion designing.
One thing that is commonly found in modern India is being not too rigid about unnecessary rules and regulations, but again that varies from person to person. Modern Indian thinking aligned and it started to become more and more clear that all that mattered at the end of the day was productivity. It didn’t matter if the employee wore casual jeans and t shirt or tight fitted suit all that mattered was that employees felt stress free and comfortable with each other in views of a professor at a fashion designing institute in West Delhi.

How to Determine Your Body Shape?
Tumblr media
Introduction
Understanding your body shape is a very important aspect of fashion. It is, in fact, essential to cultivate a sense of personal style. I recently attended an event at one of the fashion designing institute in Delhi. There I was called up on the stage to share some of my expertise (I have earned some reputation as a fashion bloggerJ) with the students pursuing various fashion designing courses like BBA in fashion designing or a diploma in fashion designing there. I shared with them the basics of understanding your body shape and how to dress accordingly. I’m going to share the same with my readers today.
Determining Your Body Shape
Tumblr media
It’s simple really. Here it is in two simple steps:
Step a few feet away from a full-length mirror and observe your overall body shape. Do this naked as underwear can also disguise what's really there. For example wearing shorts can emphasize your hips and make you look more bottom heavy.
Now, focus on the shape of your torso. Visualize a dress form from the shoulders to the hips.It's the contours of your torso; from the thinnest part of your waist to your rib cage and hip line that will determine your overall body shape.
Once you have understood your shape, see which of the following 5 categories it falls under.
