AVOID BUSINESS WEAR BLUNDERS
When it comes to the business world, you definitely want to put
your best foot forward. Whether you are dressing for your first
business interview, meeting with an important client, or just a
regular day at the office, your clothes will have a definite
impact on your performance. Remember the old adage, you never
get a second chance to make a first impression, so whenever you
are meeting anyone, be sure to be dressed for success! Your
outward appearance does not only include your clothing, but also
you hair, nails, general level of cleanliness, and skin. If you
properly take care of yourself and your appearance, you are most
likely to make a great impression of the boss, a client, and
your coworkers.
The worst business wear blunder comes with the advent of casual
office places or casual Fridays. Before you show up in flip
flops and torn jeans, you should have a general idea of you
company's definition of the word casual. Many employers request
men still wear a collared shirt and that all employees wear long
pants or modest length skirts on this casual day. If you are new
to the office, you may want to stay on the business side of
casual Friday until you see what is determined appropriate. If
you are unsure, always take the opportunity to ask. You should
never wear clothing that is considered risqué or vulgar. This
includes overtly short skirts or dresses, tops with a plunging
neckline,
or shirts with any inappropriate writing or sayings.
Furthermore, you will always want your attire to remain business
like, so think again before you wear those platform Go Go boots!
The easier way to avoid business wear blunders is to choose
classic attire that seamlessly transfers between the seasons.
Choose a standard suit that is made from quality materials in a
classic color, texture, and pattern. Avoid wearing items that
are too trendy or not appropriate for the business world. For
example, although Capri pants are hot these days, avoid wearing
them in the business world unless you can find a pair that will
be suitable for the office. Also, be sure to wear clothing and
foot wear that is comfortable and fits you well. Clothing that
restricts movement or shows inappropriate amounts of skin when
sitting, bending, or walking is inappropriate and should be
avoided. Remember, your clothing and outward appearance will
best represent your in the business world, so use your attire to
your advantage!
