How to Dress for the Business/Formal Workplace in 10 Easy Steps

Keep jewelry conservative, and avoid very long dangling earrings, jingling bracelets, or statement necklaces. Costume jewelry – also known as fashion jewelry – is OK as long as it doesn't stand out too much, and fine jewelry, such as gold or platinum, or sterling silver is always appropriate as long as the jewelry is not disproportionately big. Another great choice for accessorizing with jewelry is to wear pearls; a single strand of pearls is properly understated for business/formal wear.
