attire

We’re constantly making impressions – good or bad, sometimes even before we open our mouths. You got it, one of the first things people notice is the way you dress.
I’m blown away at how casual people get with all sorts of versions of business casual. Business casual should not be misinterpreted as personal leisure clothing. It’s still supposed to be professional-looking attire.
Not much makes me happier than finding comfort and style. But even on those days when I’m pretty sure I’ll be in the office all day, there’s a nagging voice that reminds me to bring an extra blazer, sweater or heels, so I’ll be ready for whatever business opportunity comes my way.
I once interviewed a gentleman who told me his biggest mistake was not keeping a blazer and tie in his car. Not being prepared for an unexpected business opportunity cost him a big contract.
Whether you’re chilling at a business conference or just prefer to dress down at work, ask yourself one question: What message does your clothes send? Even when you dress down, when you’re cognizant of your choices, clothing can play a role in helping your command respect and authority.
