There are, however, more reasonable persons - for them designers have offered a huge spectrum of convenient and practical headdresses which will warm a head in a new season and also will give additional charm and a highlight to an image.

Berets are again in fashion. Those for whom a beret or a tiny fitting hat with an application or a bow, or a knitted rose (Accessorize, Mango) is a garish accessory, can pay attention to classical caps-bowlers from mohair. Designers have preferred the black and white variants, which are perfectly combined almost with any model of a coat or even of a sports jacket.

Courageous and extravagant girls, inclined to shocking, can choose from numerous creative knitted caps with long tassels, bright striped hats-bowls with fluorescent applications and fur skull-caps, painted in bright-pink, dark blue and green colors (Monsoon, Benetton, Zara).

Often you may hear that it is very difficult to find a stylish business suit which would not be classical and at that did not look cheaply. Advice on how to find an ideal suit for work, are always identical: to get a standard classical suit, to find such which can be combined with other pieces of clothing or, as a last resort, to find a suitable suit and to buy five suits - different colors for every day of a working week.

Whether it is committee of directors meeting or a business meeting, it’s not of necessity to refuse quickly varying fashion and to prefer always gaining, but sometimes a little boring classics.
In this very season, with “a strong woman” on podium, designers have started creation of business suits. In result collections of fashionable brands such as Hermes, Valentino, Jil Sander, Miu Miu have fitting strict suits, narrow trousers with high waistline in a combination with jackets, womanly suits in style of the 40s.

This trend has been kept on in collections of shop networks, sometimes at quite democratic prices. So, the wide range is offered by United Colors of Bennetton, F Carriere and Max Studio, and autumn - winter collection from BCBG includes some very stylish jackets which will be ideally combined with any model of classical black trousers.

BB (Business Best): «the most strict and expensive business suit». Men: a business suit of dark blue color, with a white shirt with double cuffs and cuff links, a tie in red colors, with a breast kerchief. Shoes - only black. Women: grey, dark blue or beige suit, a white blouse-shirt, may be a tie, flesh-colored transparent stockings, shoes of black color or color of a suit, 3-5 centimeters.

Formal: «formal action». Men: a tuxedo or a dark solemn suit with a tie. Women: a cocktail dress, a long dress. Such dress-code can be met during dinner parties at expensive restaurants, corporate banquet, or celebrations with a plenty of visitors. There is also “formal” for office workers, implying very strict style similar to Business Best.

A5 (After Five): Usually means, that the cocktail is planned after 17.00, therefore the clothes should be corresponding - a suit, not necessarily business one. Colors - anyone, the tie is unessential. For ladies - a cocktail dress or something like open top with pastes and trousers.

A5c (After 5 casual) – free and easy evening style. The word “casual” with is associated which jeans and a jumper, should not mislead. A5 casual is ultrafashionable clothes from well-known brands.

Diesel positions a new line as alternative to already existing lines of premium-class brands: Black Gold collections will embody individuality and active style of a life. «Diesel Black Gold is the unique line mixing unpredictable Diesel’s spirit and elegant individual style», mark representatives of the company.

Cost of collection items will be enough democratic - from €220 up to €600 for jackets and from 50 up to 150 - for T-shirts.

This universality has the reverse side. If in Coco Chanel’s days black-and-white look was considered as an exclusive, today, finding its place almost in any situation and in any style, it risks to doom the owner to odium and force him to disappear in a crowd. For this reason before to rely on this correct, but an ambiguous variant, it is necessary to take into account some recommendations.

White shirt
It is difficult to assume that there is a man, who has not even one white shirt: this irreplaceable thing suits almost everything. But you should not forget that the white shirt is a kind of canvas on which you should “write” your own individuality. For this reason every man would better get some white shirts in different styles. Or choose a shirt from a dense fabric of a fitting cut with a small collar.

Black tie
The men choosing black-and-white look, frequently leave only one bright stain - a tie. But right now the tactics can be changed: a narrow tie of a black color is the most urgent choice. This ultrafashionable accessory will suit both black jacket and skinny-jeans. At that you will not look commonplace.

Black jacket
No comments: it is quintessence of the classics. The some people can object that the black suit will be good only for mourning ceremonies. If you hold the same opinion, choose only jacket, having combined it with classical jeans.

The combination of black and white seems very simple. Even elementary. From the very beginning of 20th centuries this classical combination of base colors did not lose the urgency, and till now the black-and-white colour spectrum can become a rescue of any wardrobe.

As a matter of fact, we should bless Coco Channel for it: if earlier this color was a prerogative of the widows in mourning, later even young girls began to wear black clothes. The combination with white came very soon: this combination in the last century has turned to the strongest and the most duplicated one for all history. And even today men and women always pay attention to new (however, their novelty is rather relative) collections made in black-and-white colors. Minimalism of this combination always contains mystical glamour, therefore even the men, who can choose clothes of any color and any price, show sometimes enviable attachment to a phenomenon of «blanc et noir».

Today black-and-white look can be present anywhere - from podiums of New York, Milan and Paris up to streets of Buenos Aires, Melbourne and Casablanca. For both men and women the given combination is like a “refuge”, the correct choice for a day time and evening attire. Men are most conservative from point of view: in case of the smallest doubt (the first date or an important business meeting) they will always prefer a black suit and a white shirt.

In most western companies all depends on a situation. For the meeting with clients or negotiations with any company a tie and a jacket are obligatory. In other cases - usual style, that is a shirt and trousers. The shirt (or T-shirt) can be with a name of the company, and trousers can be a la jeans or jeans. Many people constantly wear jeans and sneaks. Managers are usually dressed more strictly. Friday, as a rule, is a special day for everybody, so-called jeans day: everyone who wants, put on T-shirts, jeans, sneaks.

However even in California it is not recommended (and it is determined by etiquette rules) to wear training (sports) trousers, shorts and slippers. Often in invitations to meetings, conferences, dinners, etc. dress-code is pointed - for example, “casual” or “black tie”.

Certainly, such nuances should be stipulated in the contract - whether the person agrees to be constantly in a dark blue tie from Dior, bought for his own money. And if the expert on computers maintenance needs overalls, it, as a rule, is paid by the company.

One of the most cult serials for women of fashion all over the world «Sex and The City» is going seriously to declare itself as the leading fashionable brand.

At least, the designer of the serial Patricia Field has decided to use favorably popularity of her brainchild and to open a boutique of clothes and accessories, similar to those of US’ four main women of fashion on the screen.

It is enough to tell, that such shoe giants as Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo in many respects are obliged to Carrie Bradshow, who has actively promoted their goods from TVscreens during all six seasons of SATC. In a result shoes from the most eminent world shoe-makers decorate checkrooms of the most stylish ladies all over the world. Now has come the turn of the other cult pieces of clothing.

The online-boutique of firm things worn by heroines of Sex and The City is expected to be opened in the beginning of the next year. Certainly, the prices for the offered models will shock the majority of customers, however, the game is worth the trouble.

When the matter is about reputation of a firm or sound business, it is banned to neglect reserves the conventionalities in a choice of clothes. The idea of a dress-code, which has arisen in England in the beginning of the nineteenth century, has recently widely spread all over the world.

Dress-code is called to settle rules, according to which clerks should dress in this or that company. Dress-code is an obligatory requirement in some companies to wear the clothes strictly selected in one style, or a uniform. Dress-code well suits those, who don’t like to draw general attention. However it is the real torture for those who have not got used to be like others.

Style depends only on the head of the company, who has chosen for the employees this or that dress-code. The clothes should not distract from work and sometimes are called to attract attention of the client, so that the form or style strongly associated with this very company. Russia has not huge experience in such “coding”. Probably, therefore Russian dress-code is only a strict suit. In most western companies the main thing is neatness and dressing tastefully.
