Dress
for
success
in
the
workplace
Business
has
changed
significantly
over
the
years
,
especially
in
the
last
20
years
.
Too
many
people
have
forgotten
why
proper
business
attire
is
important
.
Some
companies
prefer
to
allow
and
even
encourage
employees
to
dress
freely
or
casually
for
comfort
.
This
tends
to
work
well
in
more
creative
work
environments
.
However
,
other
companies
will
typically
encourage
and
/
or
require
a
more
defined
and
professional
dress
code
to
maintain
a
professional
image
of
themselves
and
the
business
?
where
employees
routinely
interact
on
a
daily
basis
with
customers
,
clients
,
and
business
partners
.
Conflicts
arise
when
employees
prefer
to
dress
comfortably
or
in
the
most
recent
styles
rather
than
realize
the
importance
for
them
to
present
themselves
in
a
more
professional
or
conservative
manner
.
The
major
reason
why
dressing
in
proper
business
attire
is
important
for
every
business
professional
is
because
it
presents
a
visual
image
and
sends
the
message
that
the
employees
are
professional
.
Another
reason
why
it
is
important
is
because
you
never
know
when
you
will
be
required
to
meet
with
someone
from
outside
your
company
.
Your
image
to
this
outsider
will
be
the
image
of
your
company
that
they
will
remember
.
In
business
dealings
,
this
image
and
message
needs
to
be
professional
.
In
reality
,
that
image
could
indirectly
mean
the
difference
between
securing
a
new
deal
,
contract
,
or
sale
and
losing
the
opportunity
to
make
that
deal
.
The
importance
of
a
dress
code
for
professionalism
varies
somewhat
by
industry
.
However
,
the
between
the
two
is
generally
strong
.
Appearance
ranked
second
only
to
communication
skills
when
respondents
named
qualities
most
often
associated
with
professionalism
,
according
to
a
2010
national
poll
conducted
by
the
Center
for
Professional
Excellence
at
York
College
of
Pennsylvania
.
Matthew
Randall
,
executive
director
of
the
CPE
,
said
:
"
How
an
individual
dresses
for
work
can
be
a
powerful
extension
of
his
personal
brand
.
Clothes
,
accessories
,
and
even
the
footwear
an
employee
chooses
to
wear
help
to
reinforce
or
diminish
his
skills
and
qualities
in
the
eyes
of
his
employer
,
coworkers
and
clients
.
"
Although
a
-
-
-
or
universal
dress
code
may
not
be
achievable
or
realistic
,
some
universal
guidelines
are
possible
and
could
include
the
following
:
?
Be
modest
.
It
is
most
important
to
get
attention
for
great
work
rather
than
gaining
attention
for
wearing
the
latest
fashion
fad
or
an
appropriate
leisure
wear
or
sportswear
found
outside
the
office
at
a
sports
event
,
party
,
or
beach
.
?
Beware
of
casual
Fridays
.
Casual
Fridays
have
the
potential
to
turn
into
real
fashion
disasters
.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
workweek
has
not
ended
on
Thursday
and
that
the
images
and
messages
sent
on
Friday
must
be
consistent
with
each
of
the
previous
days
of
the
week
.
?
Be
comfortable
.
This
applies
to
the
fit
of
your
attire
and
the
comfort
of
the
shoes
you
wear
.
Comfort
needs
to
fashion
in
the
choices
made
.
?
Be
that
basic
etiquette
must
accompany
appropriate
attire
.
Appropriate
attire
must
be
combined
with
basic
business
and
professional
etiquette
.
The
two
are
and
integrated
when
presenting
a
professional
image
of
yourself
and
your
company
.
First
impressions
and
overall
judgments
about
people
are
formed
by
the
way
they
dress
.
Since
the
way
someone
dresses
affects
the
perception
of
a
company's
customers
or
business
partners
,
it
is
important
to
maintain
a
standard
of
dress
that
creates
a
positive
impression
.
?
to
achieve
an
appropriate
balance
of
employee
rights
and
individual
freedom
.
Some
employers
experience
resistance
from
employees
who
believe
they
have
the
right
to
groom
themselves
and
dress
in
a
way
that
suits
their
personality
.
Basically
,
this
is
true
in
the
context
of
what
they
do
outside
of
the
employer's
operation
.
While
individuals
have
a
right
to
express
themselves
,
businesses
have
a
similar
right
in
the
workplace
too
,
since
the
way
employees
dress
definitely
sends
intended
or
unintended
messages
to
clients
,
customers
,
and
prospects
.
A
commitment
to
strive
to
achieve
an
appropriate
balance
is
very
important
.
Whatever
else
we
think
about
dressing
for
success
,
we
need
to
be
reminded
that
first
impressions
are
everything
,
and
we
only
get
one
chance
to
make
a
positive
first
impression
.
