You have just been hired for a new job and one of the requirements is a formal dress code, this includes wearing a necktie. You have never worked for a company with this requirement and you have nothing to wear. You will need to go shopping for some new appropriate clothes and cheap neckties.

So the shopping spree begins. You may want to do a little online shopping to see what is available on the market. You do not want to get any clothes that make you itch all day or shrink the first time you wash them. If you want good prices for semi quality formal wear you will need to shop around. You don't only want to look good in the clothes, but also feel good.

Asking your friends and family who have the same work policy is a great idea; they already have fabulous practical knowledge of the best places to get great clothes. Your budget restraints may not be shared by all. It would be very helpful for you to find out which of your friend and family have the same budget restraints as you; this will prevent you from over spending.

Safe colors to start buying are black, blue, brown and white. These are known as the classics; there are so many accessories and colors that can be worn with them. A great idea to get you started; visit a boutique and let them show you all their fabulous styles and colors.

The wisest way forward would be to start off small. A good start would be a couple of pairs of black longs and enough white long sleeve shirts for a few days. You can wear these classic colors every day and no one will think that you are wearing the same clothes daily. The most fantastic plus with the classics is the amount of accessories that look fabulous with them.

Before you get a head of yourself why don't you first start your new adventure; see if you even like your new position. This will give you some time before spending all your resources and opening every clothing account you can get your hands on. What if you detest your new position; hate wearing formal clothes and in a month or two you want to go back to your old job where you can wear jeans and t-shirts? Time is on your side to properly learn which brands you like and which ones will suit your budget.

Dressing up daily can boost your moral and make you feel worthwhile. This is a great adventure, one you should be proud to be part of. People will treat you differently and take you more seriously: as you look professional. Hopefully you will be up for the challenge and can grab it with both hands.

Good luck with your new adventure; if you have done sufficient research you will even enjoy wearing your new neckties. Look at all the fabulous colors and different materials you now have in your cupboard, some have diagonal strips and some spots. Wow you could be a model.
