How do I go about dressing more professionally?
107140
Conveying seriousness, dedication, and professionalism isn't just in how you dress.  It's how you work with others.  It's the quality of your work-product.  It's understanding that you need to adapt to your environment and meet the needs of those around you.\n\nThere's a reason your bosses have decided they want a casual office.  Find out what it is before you buy that Goeffrey Beene tie.  Do you really want to thumb your nose at your bosses by wearing a tie to work?  Not very good for your career is it?  \n\nPlus it screams: I think I'm better than you.  That won't necessarily endear you to your co-workers.  And despite what most people think, your co-workers' perception of you IS a factor in how you advance in your career with this or any other company.  I.e. does he play well with others?\n\nIf you want to dress better and stay within the dress code, ditch the jeans and go for chinos. Look in magazines for casual looks you like and imitate those.

Be yourself!  ALWAYS!  Never change for anyone, that's my first advice to you, if you want to dress punk, do it, they all love you and will accept you for you!\n\nSecondly, just tell them that you would appreciate it if everyone gave you as much respect as to not embarrass you as you would do the same for them!\n\nIt'll be OK!  \nGOOD LUCK!!!!!

Great question. If you get "Dress for Success" you can actually kill two fashion birds with one stone, so to speak. By that I mean:\n\n1. You can dress for your more modest, conservative Christian lifestyle and send a message that you respect yourself and your faith. \n\n2. You can dress for success at the same time and dress as someone would dress who is really serious about his future.\n\nSo for casual, khaki pants (Dockers) are nice, and you can add polo shirts (by that I mean a knit shirt but with a collar),  or button down oxford shirts. Nice jeans for picnics. You can find these items for reasonable prices at outlet stores, no need to go nuts and spend too much. Bealls outlet is all over and has great stuff, as do the LL Bean outlets, for example. \n\nFor more formal occasions, like church or interviews or public speaking, a nice suit in grey, black or navy, with a nice shirt and tie. If you are worried about cost, there is usually a men's warehouse or other lower priced store in the area (nordstrom rack) where you can find a good suit for not too much. Get it fitted and altered.\n\nFor in between times, when a suit is too much but a polo shirt and khakis or nice jeans is too informal, you can wear a shirt, tie or no tie and a navy blue blazer. Grey flannel slacks or khakis go well with a navy blazer.\n\nA set of good polo shirts, some button down shirts, a few ties, a blazer and a suit, plus khakis and a good pair of jeans is a basic but useful starter wardrobe.\n\nShoes should be polished; if you wear one kind a lot, get two pair, keep one in shoe trees and alternate the pairs so you never wear one pair day after day. Plain style black Nike/Reebok style shoes are good if you need to do a lot of walking, and Mason Shoe catalog has men's walking shoes that still look ok but keep your feet from hurting if you are doing a lot of walking or standing. Loafers and wingtips are good for dress. \n\nDon't neglect your grooming; hair can be stylish but not weirdly wild (no mohawks, spikes, carved initials) and you should make sure your nails are clean and trimmed at all times. If your hands get dry and cracked from your work, use vaseline at night, lots of it, to keep them in shape. No one wants to shake hands with someone who has ungroomed hands. \n\nNeedless to say, piercings, body jewelry, tattoos, should be removed or covered.

It's hard to say without knowing what kind of job and how you're going about it now. \n\n1. Don't bring your friends or little sister with you to interviews or filling out applications. \n\n2. Dress for success. This isn't time for fashion week; look at the way other employees are dressed and dress one step nicer. Or imagine grandma taking you to church.\n\n3. Have self-confidence in the interview. Try and eliminate the "ummm's" and "yeah's". You are smart and ready to work. Let the manager know it!\n\n4. BE ON TIME for the interview.

Go to the hair store first and pick you out a great wig that looks divine on you, then you should wear some nice jeans, or a skirt if you shaved your legs recently.  Wear a cute top, something from AE (American Eagle) would be nice.  And for your shoes, wear some nice slip-ons or clogs.\n\nHave fun, and remember...You better work! : )

Well, if your have your own fashions, than i'd say to start out somewhere simple. For, example, a mall. Food court. Save money and rent somewhere, rent a park or fair ground. actually, a fair would be a good place. Check out the Yellow Book to hire models. you seem to be strong and have alot of perserverance. You can do it!\n If your a teen/tween, start VERY simple. Like, your friends backyard. Outside the neighborhood pool. Set up lawn chairs and make a stage a hang a guilt's ends a trees for a curtain. Make sure you can change unseen!!! You and your friends can show of your favorite outfits while the CD player/radio you brought out is groovin. Let another friend be the introducer for each outfit and handle the CD player/radio. Go ahead and charge cheap for tickets. Have a blast!

I suggest that you should wear one of two things:  the first is a nice cocktail dress that isn't red, or black and not too revealing.  Or possibly wearing a cute suit.  You really can't go wrong in a suit.  \nAs for your hair look through magazines for ideas.  I'm sure you'll look just great!

Dress up formally and wear a little makeup, if necessary, to feel confident.\nMake a timetable and stick to it.\nAllow yourself breaks and keep your home and office life separate.\nIt is now how long you can work everyday but how much you achieve in the hours you work.

I do not have specific experience in this area. But you might start by seeing what others are doing, e.g., wordsru.com. Why not send them something and spend a few bucks seeing how they do what they do, and how much they get paid for it? Another approach would be to do some work for an outfit like that (I'm sure you can do this from your home).\n\nBest of success.

Wear nice clothes that will get you noticed and then do what you have to do.

Call the restaurant and ask how their patrons typically dress for luncheons. The more upscale the place, the more subtle your makeup and accessories. Sounds like you are on the right track.  If you wear a suit, try not to look like a sales representative. Wear something elegant that you feel comfortable and natural in. Minimal makeup and a simple jewelry is always right for a daytime engagement. A light crisp fragrance is the icing on the cake. Save the more dramatic trappings for evening.

Dress as you would for any interview.  Be neat and well-groomed.  Don't go in shorts, tee shirt, sandals, sneakers, running shoes, etc.  A nice tailored shirt and pants for a male, and pants and matching top or skirt and blouse for a female.  Don't wear jeans.  They should be dressier pants. You don't need formal wear (dress and matching jacket, or three piece suit and tie), but dress nicely.

I would say to go casual but nice... I went to an interview one time and was overdressed.. I was always taught to go over dressed then under dressed.. but when I got to the interview they asked me if I knew what type of a business they were... and I answered yes.. but that I felt first impressions were best.. I was told that a best first impression for them was to come dressed like them... Who Knew??? Most places use to love for you to dress for success and then come to work and dress like the rest of them... I learned a lesson... I look at the company and try to visualize what they would want.. but always dress just a tad bit better.. not a lot... Casual would mean Docker pants (black) and nice shirt.. I am a woman... but the same for a man would be good also... Good Luck.. Have a great interview and get that job... :)
