Struggling with Dress Code Feedback: How Can I Look More Presentable in Indian Formal Wear?

Hi everyone,

Greetings for the day! I hope you are all doing well. I have a question regarding formal attire in the workplace. As a Senior Executive in HR, I need to maintain a proper formal attire. However, due to weight gain, I prefer Indian formal wear such as suits and kurtas. Despite this, I continue to receive feedback from my seniors to be more presentable. When I used to wear Western attire, I never encountered such feedback or situations in my 4-year HR career. Can you kindly suggest ways for me to appear more presentable?

Thank you.

Dear Poonam,

Perhaps you might have heard of an Image Consultant. There are many freelance consultants who can give you the right kind of suggestions.

Is there a laid-down dress code for the organization?

It is good to be in the prescribed dresses of the organization.

See what your other executives are wearing, that will be a guide for you also.
