Fashion and Your Career

According to Beauty and Style:

Messages are sent through clothing wherever you go. Whether you are out with friends for the evening, working out at the gym, or just plain working at the office, what you wear makes a statement about who you are. Your employer's interpretation of what your wardrobe has to say can have serious implications on your career -- both positive and negative. In fact, according to a recent study released by OfficeTeam, a staffing agency that polled senior corporate executives, 93% of managers say that how you dress at work influences your chance of a promotion.

 

Your clothing choices greatly impact how professional people perceive you to be. The amount of work you put into your work wardrobe will prove that you are ready for a professional career. Wearing blazers, collared shirts and well-tailored pants show that you are committed and responsible.

 

This does not mean that you can't dress in trendy clothing or looks that can easily transform from day to night; just be careful about showing too much skin or dressing like you are still in college.
