Image is very important in business.  Dressing properly is one way of enhancing you and your company’s image.  You have to keep in mind that you have to dress to fit your company’s profile.  If you are in the fashion business, you have to dress flashy.  If you are in the finance business, you have to don your power suit.  Taking a good look at your company’s organizational style gives you the best clue as to how you should dress for it.

Remember to dress to fit the occasion, wearing jeans when meeting the President of the company is almost rude while wearing a three piece suit for a field inspection can be showy.  Make sure you dress appropriately for what you’ll be doing on a particular day.

Tips for Power Dressing:

Keep it understated: While it’s nice to spruce things up, keep your clothes from being too wild as they can be misconstrued.

Keep it neat and clean: Make sure your clothes are free of rips and stains to show that you mind how you look.

Avoid revealing too much: Save your low-cut blouses, skin tight pants and see through fabrics for your adventures outside the ofice.  The kep to better looking you is dressing modestly but smartly.
