In Boardroom meetings, one needs to dress in a cooperate or formal outfit. A female worker attending a boardroom meetings should dress nice and decent in a formal manner because your appearance speaks more of you one cannot wear an outfit meant for parties to a meeting.

Formal wears come in different styles and designs. They can be a suit of different styles, skirts and shirts, trousers and shirts and a dress of different styles and designs. But no matter one’s choice of style it has to be formal. Formal wears for board room meeting can be sews with various materials such as veritable wax, garbadine, suit materials, London wax even local fabrics like kente, Ankara etc and also synthetic fabrics and blends.

However, a stricking discovery about what most female workers wore to meetings has been made. Most of the female workers wears suit to board room meetings not knowing that other materials can e used in making a co-operate and decent outfits for these meetings.

The circumstances that led the choice of fabric and design that will be use in execution of the work is that the materials are durable and it is a design that will not go out of trend. The wearer will feel comfortable with it and being that in most boardroom meetings the environment is always cool. With this design the wearer won’t feel cold or hot because of the texture of the fabrics and the design.

Statement of the Problem:

Most of the female workers wore suit or ready-made wears to meetings while other materials like Ankara, kente etc can be used for the same purpose. Most of their wears shows all the erogenous part of their body which is not good for the occasion. Formal occasion are business like occasions, so the outfit you wear has to be formal and decent enough.
