If you want to stand out in a crowd, then mix 'n' match with elan. Whether you are a journalist, banker, teacher or an IT professional - the mix of Indian class with a touch of western oomph can boost your 'X' factor.

All you 'Formal clothes' haters who keep complaining about how boring it is to wear formals everyday, stop complaining and see the difference in your attitude towards corporate dressing by simply following certain basic style mantras:

We randomly chose four industries ( Banks, Information Technology, Journalism, and Teaching ) and worked out the dressing style that would be appropriate for these industries.

For the bankers

• Nothing can beat the 'blazer and knee-length tight skirt look when it comes to getting an ultra classy banker look.
• Your blazer and skirt should always be in the same colour. Dark colours like brown, black green or dark blue look very chic.
• For a change, try out a texture in khaki, to give it a semi-formal look.
• A shaded stole in the same colour looks very classy.
• A light coloured, block printed, sleeveless, top inside the suit looks great.
• Narrow- toed, pencil heels in re, black or green leather look stylish and funky.
• Shoulder - length , straight hair completes the trendy banker look.

The 'IT' style

What's the 'IT' style all about? Here is the lowdown.

• A semi - formal, plain white shirt with brocade buttons and contrast piping, looks very neat.
• A lehariya scarf, either in the same colour as that of the contrast piping or in dark colours like maroon, black or burgundy, looks stylish.
• A detachable brocade waistband looks very Indo Western.
• Team up the plain shirt with beige or mustard-coloured linen pants.
• Tone down the accessories, except for the scarf, as too much will take away from the sophisticated look.
• Stilettos that match the colour of the scarf will make you look ultra glamorous.
• A high ponytail or even a ponytail with a fringe looks very stylish.

The 'Jazzy Journalist'

If you desire the 'funky journo' look, here is what you can do:

Team up ethnic kurtis, preferable in light colours like mustard and beige, with a crushed ghagra or flared skirt in vibrant colours of orange or red.A single - strapped bag, like a jhola, done up with mirror work or embroidery, looks very stylish.Kolhapuri chappals or funky hairdo with highlighted strands in copper or gold look smashing.Ethnic jewellery in silver or coloured beads complete the look.

Trendy Teacher

If you want to add spice to this very noble profession, all you need to do is:

• Wear a short, well-fitted kurti, just covering your thighs, in a dark colour like an emerald green. See to it that the border of the kurti as well as the neckline is in contrasting colours, like for instance, a maroon border on a green kurti.
• You can team your kurti with plain, tight-fitting capris. To customize your capris, add the contrast border of the kurti to the bottom of the pants.
• Tie-up sandals would look very elegant, as the capri will draw attention towards your shoes.
• And a nose ring will add to the Indo-Western look.
• Long, straight, waist-length hair with curls at the bottom will complete the look.

Go Ahead, keep in mind the Industry Specific Requirements and dress for the occasion.
