Dress for Success

Dress for Success

Clothes influence how your boss and co-workers perceive you. Whether new to the workforce or in an entry-level position, anyone can look good on the job. Remember, you are going into an environment where you need to be taken seriously. The key is to wear the clothes that make you look professional.

To get started looking “work trendy” and project the image you want, keep these simple on-the-job dress tips and tricks in mind:

Follow the leader.Observe what your manager (and co-workers whom you respect) are wearing. You should be able to hone in on a particular style/trend of dress. Emulate it.

Err on practicality.Make sure your clothes are work appropriate. Stick to the basics. Wear simple colors. Don’t use the workplace to test out any bright colors or bold patterns. Save that for your personal time.

Be fresh.Nothing says you don’t care like a pair of worn shoes. And remember that it’s not just clothes that make the man (or woman): Trim your nails, floss your teeth, get your hair cut as often as it requires, and keep a pack of gum or fresh mints at your desk.

If your dress code policy is confusing, get clarification. Ask your manager or someone in Human Resources for more details. As a rule, if you’re questioning an outfit, you probably should avoid wearing it.
