Dress Essentials for Everyone
- Clothing should work for you, not against you. Fit
and comfort are important considerations in projecting yourself at your
best.
- Trendy clothing—like short skirts, low necklines,
extreme prints or colors—generally do not project an image appropriate for
a professional meeting.
- Crisp, clean, well-pressed clothing is a must.
- Hair should be clean, well groomed, and away from
the eyes.
- Simple, classic styles are best.
- Remove extraneous earrings. (Women: one pair. Men:
none.)
- Avoid strong mints, perfumes, or aftershaves.
- No visible tattoos (cover) or body piercings (remove
pins).
