You're getting ready to refinance your home. You've got an appointment scheduled at the bank. There are two lending specialists available. One is wearing flip flops, a t-shirt and casual pants. The other is wearing a simple skirt, blouse and pumps.
Which one seems more professional? Like it or not, in the business world, image does matter. How you dress or what you wear makes a difference. It's one of the first things your boss, co-workers and clients notice. What you wear says something about you - so you DO want to make sure you're saying the right things!
Our first tip is to keep it covered. No matter what your personal style, business casual never means "business sexy." Skirts of an appropriate length (not mini skirts), full length pants and higher necklines are safe bets and in today's business world, dressy capris are also acceptable.
