Dress to impress

12 June 2008

On the job, you want your clothes to reflect you and your role. By choosing your clothes carefully, you'll be able to impress everyone with both your work and your snappy dress sense. Gradually build up your business wardrobe with quality items that will stand the test of time.

  • You're an efficient person. Your clothes should communicate this. Avoid fussy clothing.
  • To be the top dog in the business world, remember to dress as if you mean business.
  • Don't be a fashion victim - avoid clothes with a poor style and poor quality fabric.
  • Be mindful of what you wear. Outrageous clothing will only gather gossip. Water cooler talk about your clothes should be avoided.
  • Check out what your boss is wearing. See something you like? Then follow their fashion sense and impress everyone.
  • Adhere to your organisation's dress code. You are a representative of your company and should dress like it to impress your clients.
  • Buy quality clothes. You want fabrics that travel well, are durable and will suit you even if you're not feeling the best.
  • Dress for comfort. If you're comfortable, you'll perform better at your job.
  • Individualise your outfit in some way. A vintage brooch or an elegant necklace will make your outfit seem more professional.
