Summer Networking

For slightly more formal networking events, such as light fare & drinks on the back patio of a restaurant, lighten up your normal networking outfit. Lightweight khaki or linen pants along with a crisp cotton button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to your elbows looks professional & yet still a bit laid back & approachable. White is classic, but can look glaring outside in the bright sunlight. For a pleasant twist go for light pink, blue or yellow. Or, another lovely option is a white shirt with a wide blue pinstripe. Don't skip the tie. To make it look appropriate for summer, look for in a light or bright color. For example, a blue & white striped shirt looks nice with a yellow tie that contains a box pattern. You can do a polka dot or paisley pattern, even with a striped shirt, because this introduces a used pattern in to the mix & breaks up the stripe. Before attending your event, you can also experiment with different types of tie knots. The Pratt & the Four-In-Hand are both knots that work well for networking events. Pair this look with boat shoes or leather loafers in a shade of brown or grey. Steer clear of black, as it often tends to look to heavy & formal.

One of the most popular query asked when it comes to outdoor business networking events in late August & early September is, "is it all right to wear shorts?" You may keep in mind that a couple of years ago, President Obama wore shorts to a summer golf outing, & plenty of people raised their eyebrows. But the President's normally impeccable manners did not lead him astray. It is all right to wear shorts to an outdoor networking event, such as a round of golf or a barbecue. The key is to select shorts with the correct length & cut. A neutral shade & fabric, such as khaki or olive green, is key. Denim is not a lovely suggestion here. Look for shorts that hit an inch above the knee, have a neat hemline, & don't cling to your legs. Avoid gigantic cargo pockets in favor of a cleaner look. Pair shorts with a pleasant polo shirt, & be definite to tuck it in & wear a belt. Some athletic companies, make excellent dry-fit polo shirts. These are a great option when it is hot outside, because they look nice & professional while wicking moisture away from your body to help keep you cold & dry.

Now, what if your networking event is at the opposite finish of the spectrum, & is tremendous casual, such as a beach volleyball game? Well, you do must permit practicality to dictate your look here, so initially, wear your bathing suit under your clothes. As a rule of thumb, it is always best to wear neat & well-pressed clothes to any business event. So if your bathing suit is looking shabby & faded by chlorine, it may be time to invest in a used. Over it, wear a comfortable lightweight pair of linen or khaki shorts, as well as a cotton sport shirt. Stick to light colored fabrics, since you will be out in the sun. Flip flops are appropriate for the beach, but stick to leather ones than cheaper plastic ones. It is also best to leave any metal jewelry & accessories you have at home, as these tend to emit a unusual scent when they get sweaty (it also guarantees that you keep them safe). Make definite to wear clothing that allows for freedom of movement, as you will have much more fun & be much more successful at networking in the event you can comfortably participate in the planned activities.
