What is professionalism???
Professional status, methods, character, or standards. Retrieved from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/professionalism
So, here we are going to discuss and see the general idea about manner and table etiquette and beautification (how to dress for both gender and others).
Gentle Reminder: It is actually up to you about how to dress because this is only a general idea but it will be good when you practice it especially in a very special occasion.
Manner
So, many of us have been invited to come to a formal dinner right? If not, this might be your first time reading this,so...Welcome To My World :)
It is actually interesting to know all this because it opens our eyes about what other people perception about table manner. Some might be sensitive about it while some not. It is always a better and good idea to know about this in case that we need it later.
Knowing + Application (practice it) = Beneficial factor such as individual satisfaction.
Now, Let's take a look what is all about okay :)
A Formal Dinner Setting
This is an example ONLY!!
We have a lot of different setting depends on the country, culture and the people who set it up.
Above is a type of utensil tools used when we have dinner in reputation or formal occasion.
How to USE them?
Now, always remember the concept of (OUTSIDE IN) because we start with the salad fork and soup spoon and then slowly as the dish started to change you used the fish fork and fish knife. See, it's from out to inside. (Above illustration of "A Formal Dinner Setting).
That's all for table manner ;)
Let's move to cloth especially for working, casual and other.... (I got this advice from a very professional person that involve in the beautification area)
Business Formal
- make sure the color of the watch, shoes and belt similar,
- the tie must be on the belt level (not too short/long)- this is the trend nowdays,
- wear a suitable business jacket,
- polish your shoes,
- since male have not much accessories, the watch is very important because it main a role reflecting the type of person you are (to a certain extent)..,
- your hairstyle should be comfortable and suit your face shape (ex: cirsle, heart, rectangle and so on...)
Business Casual
- Since it's still involve Business, the casualty must be professional such as not too casual such as short pans (try too avoid it).
- Choose Calm and smooth color such as blue, green and you can do more research on that...
- Wear accessories such as hat if it's in location such as beach or sea (it also helps to protect your head) :)
- Most important : It is (the cloth) relaxing and makes you feel comfortable and also portrayed your self smartly in a way...
- NO Scandals allowed!!! Clear...
Men accessories
This is some of the available accessories for men :) [Simple but honestly it's very attractive ~]
Women part RIGHT NOW!~ The cloth for women is very flexible, just pick the one that is suitable to occasion and the one that makes you comfortable ;)
Formal Business
- Wear long gown or usually we goes with long slimy pans with long (hand part) jacket that similar or suitable contrast color'
- tidy your hair by make it clean (shampoo..." of' course") and in appropriate design such as you can just let it go or make a bun hair... ;)
- Not too many jewelery at least 3 (if not that will be too much unless if the size is small)
- Scarf if you want..
- Natural make up or something that make you more bright and attractive (well, in a good way)
Casual Business
- Depends on the type of occasion like what I have mention for male casual attire,
- Wear comfortable shoes and NO Sandals please!!!
- You can also wear cute gown..
Women unlimited accessories, HOWEVER, this is few of them that I can show it to all of you (Yes you, My Honorable Guest :))
