I know I have mentioned it before (and will likely mention it again until your ears are numb), but the clothes you wear are highly important. Whether you realize it or not (or are reluctant to admit it), people will judge you based upon your appearance, and what you wear says a lot about your outward appearance (i.e. well-dressed people have greater command over a room of people before they even say a word). It’s a fact of life in Corporate America. No escaping it. Whether or not you choose to care about it is obviously your prerogative – but I wanted to pass along a great article posted yesterday on Buzzfeed that references tips and rules for wearing men’s suits. A lot of these are great things to keep in mind while shopping or dressing and won’t cost you any extra money.
P.S. Is Buzzfeed slowly making its case to be the preeminent work productivity killer? I wonder how many collective hours a day of “work time” across America alone are lost to reading through the site. Don’t tell me your Facebook feeds aren’t full of these lists on a daily basis. You know, when you check Facebook after working hours of course 🙂
Til Next Time,
