Speaking as a business owner who wears shorts to work - I think it does.  Some of us wear "professional" looking clothes, while others, like myself don't.  We meet and greet clients all the time, and they don't mind either way.  And being comfortable is very important to our workers morale. So our policy is simply - "You're an adult, and as long as you're neat and clean, wear what you want."

The first is well dressed, well groomed and confident in their answers and stride into the room.  The other is fidgity, not well dressed or at least appropriately dressed for an interview, does not maintain eye contact, and hesitates before answering questions as if to think of an answer.\nNote: even if you are applying for a job that does not require a suit or slacks and a nice shirt...you at least wear the slacks and a nice shirt, ie: you are applying for a position as a landscaper (who might wear shorts on a hot day working) you dress nice for the interview.

Fashion is what you make it. It is okay to wear sandals if they go along with the shirt/sweater pattern and the pants you are wearing. One other thing to keep in mind is to make sure they are formal looking sandals and not casual. It will be okay for a regular day at office. However, this is not recommended for a business meeting. Prefer pumps for Business meeting.

"Upscale" is an adjective which usually means "more expensive"  or "yuppiefied."  And "club wear" is ... well... the kind of clothes you'd wear to a club.  Sleek, sexxxy, hot, now, and very hip.\n\n*However* I've been to Mandalay Bay and can offer you something a little more practical:  Wear a nice dress, preferably something slinky that's been purchased fairly recently, probably not more than a year or two old.

It really depends on what type of wedding it is. Judging by your screen name I'll assume you're a male. Here are the generally accepted guidelines for the different wedding types:\n\nInformal Daytime: Dress shirt and pants, preferably a sports jacket.\nInformal Evening: Suit\nSemi-Formal Daytime: Suit\nSemi-Formal Evening: Dark suit \nFormal Daytime: Dark suit and tie\nFormal Evening: Tuxedo (if invitation states "black tie") or dark suits if women wear short dresses.\nUltra-formal Evening or White Tie: White tie, cummerbund, vest and shirt.\n\nIf it's a formal, and you're wearing a tuxedo, a black tux with white shirt and black bow tie is the best way to go. But keep in mind that trendier cities like Los Angeles and New York might be more accepting of breaking with tradition. You'll want to wear a dark suit, with a tie if the wedding is after 6 PM, and doesn't say "Black Tie." \n\nAs is the case with any event, use good judgment if the invitation doesn't specify the formality. A dark suit and conservative tie will take you just about anywhere.\n\nIf you're looking for what a female should wear, here are the generally accepted rules for the ladies:\n\nInformal Daytime: Short dress or suit (business attire OK for morning weddings)\nInformal Evening: Cocktail dress\nSemi-Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit\nSemi-formal Evening: Cocktail dress\nFormal Daytime: Short dress or suit. Hats and gloves optional.\nFormal Evening or Black-Tie: Long or dressy short cocktail (beading, glam accessories,  wrap)\nUltra-formal or White Tie: Long gown, extra glitz (furs, diamonds, etc.)\n\nI hope this helps.

Depends. If you own your own office, you can wear whatever you want. I doubt that you have your own office though considering a psychologist would know how to spell their own profession. Most people want to look professional, but somewhat casual so that people are not intimidated by them. I know a child psychologist who wore these really eclectic clothes, and she had a little Yorkie Terrier she brought to work with her, and he was always dressed, too. From Doggie Gap. She said it helped the kids to relax when they were playing with the dog.

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!

For a management position you would wear a suit and tie. Otherwise you would wear what is customary attire at the job you are applying for or one notch better. If the job has you weraing a uniform you wear suit and tie. A Hiring Team interviewer.

Sportwear is casual and for sports...after 5 attire is something that can be dressy or casual but it's usually something you could wear to dinner.

A Tux has that bandana  bit around the waist and you where a bow tie.  SUIt is usually worn just with a tie.

I believe in most settings in means black tie/tuxedos and full length or "formal" dresses.  Often you will see this for evening events such as weddings, dinners, opera, etc...When I am faced with this type of situation, I always try to find someone else I know that is attending and check with them as to what they are wearing (because it's not like a I have a ton of "formal" dresses hanging in the closet) and then go from there.  That at least gives me an idea and a place to start.

For men: A suit with a nice tie\nFor women: a cocktail dress(probably black...hits around the knee area) that is not too revealing and is classy.

I always enjoy wearing a formal cocktail dress (think Sarah Jessica Parker).  That way you still look sophisticated but not over dressed to where you cannot go out later on in the evening.
