Fashion over the years have been seen as frivolous by so
many, but in these maiden series tagged “DRESSING: A BUSINESS ETIQUETTE” it will
be revealed that dressing is an integral aspect of any business organization,
because the way we dress will determine the way we are addressed.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Over the years a lot of books and magazine articles have
been devoted to the subject of “dressing for success”. Styles change, fashions
are fickle, and there are no magic formulas, but business etiquette requires
attention to a few timeless rules of appearance and grooming.
YOUR WARDROBE SPEAKS
Dressing is a nonverbal communication. It says a great deal about
you and your attitude toward the world around you. Be sure your business
clothes are impeccably clean, well maintained, and appropriate to what you do.
Look around your place of business. Identify the people with
clout in their organization. Observe how they dress. Don’t imitate, but do emulate.
Take your clue from these folks. Aim for the middle: gauge the level of the office
“look,” and dress just a notch above it.
In conclusion, let your style of dressing convey class, confidence,
smartness and radiance.
Happy smart dressing week! Joie de vivre.
