Dressing for work can be a battle, but only if you don't know what you're doing. The way you look and dress in the office makes a statement about what people can expect from you and how you feel about yourself.

为工作着装就跟打仗似的,除非你不知道你在干嘛。你在办公室里看着什么样穿成什么样就是一个郑重的声明,这关乎人们可以期待你做什么以及你对自己是什么样的感觉。

Here are five areas you should focus on when it comes to having great work style, from the viewpoints of both a man and woman. Remember, every company's culture and dress code are different, so follow our advice as it applies to your workplace.

一谈到工作装,就会讲到下面这五个你应该关注的领域,我们会从男人和女人两种角度来说。不过要记得,每家公司的文化和着装风格都不一样,所以只有我们的建议适合你的工作场合的时候再去尝试。

1. Accessories
1.配件

She says: Every woman knows that accessories define what look you're going for, whether it's elegant, trendy or casual. If you put 100 women in a room together wearing the same black dress, no two of them would look the same. Why? Because they would all accessorize differently. They'd have to -- it's how you set yourself apart from everyone else. This can be applied at work, too, especially if you work somewhere where everyone wears a different variation of the same outfit.

她观点:每个女人都知道配件是定义你走什么路线的,不管是优雅、流行还是休闲。如果你把100个穿着同样的黑色套装的女人放在一个房间里,没有两个人看上去会是一样的,这是为什么呢?因为她们会用不同的配件。她们不得不这么做——只有这样才能让你与众不同。配件也同样可以应用在工作中,尤其是如果你工作的地方每个人穿的都是大同小异的衣服。

As a general rule, limit yourself to 11 or fewer accessories, and always err on the side of caution and simplicity. If it's excessively cute, big or loud -- just say no.

通常的规矩是,配件要限定在11件或者更少,宁可小心或者简朴点。如果有特别可爱、特别大或者特别醒目的——放弃吧。

He says: Men don't usually wear as many fashion accessories as women, aside from a watch and perhaps a ring. Just remember to keep it simple. You should have more fingers without rings than with. And your watch should look professional, which means a leather band shouldn't be cracked or its silver links shouldn't be full of scratches.

他观点:男人通常不会有女人那么多的配件,通常就是一块表也许加个戒指。记得简单点就好了。你不带戒指的手指应该比带戒指的手指多,你的手表要看上去很专业,也就是说,皮制的表带不能破破烂烂的,表环上也不能都是摩擦的痕迹。

Pay just as much attention to your briefcase or laptop case. If your carrying case is leather, make sure it's not cracked and falling apart. A cloth one shouldn't be covered in dirt or political buttons.

你的公文包或者手提电脑包也得花点心思。如果是皮制的包,确定没有破掉也没有剥落。如果是布包,上面不能脏脏的也不能有政治徽章。
