Five Ways to Get Stand-Out Style for Networking Events
Getting dressed for a networking event can make you want to pull your hair out as you scan your closet. You want to look professional, yet eye-catching because nobody wants to connect with someone who looks boring or frumpy.
On the other hand, you don’t want to show up looking like a fancy hooker in your quest to stand out amongst the crowd. It’s a delicate balance, but a professional glam look can be achieved if you follow five style rules:
TIPS:
1. Keep it simple. Stick to clean lines and a great fit. Stay away from too many patterns.
2. Stay away from spandex! If you wear spandex to a professional event, you will only get attention from sleazy execs. Trust me, this is not what you want.
3. Always wear a watch. Not only is it elegant, but looking at your phone to check the time will be perceived as you being disengaged from the crowd.
4. Wear a statement piece to help start conversations. Many people look out for guests wearing funky jewelry or other cool things so they have a reason to approach and get to know you. If you wear a beautiful, bold cocktail ring, the compliments and connects will come pouring in!
5. Always stock your clutch with business cards.
