"You don't sell for what you're worth unless you look good."—Lady Bird Johnson
One career roadblock repeatedly stalls career advancementin almost every line of work: inappropriate dress around theworkplace and at work-related events. You may be highly in-telligent, well-qualified and extraordinarily capable, and stillbe disqualified or dismissed by leaving the "business" out ofbusiness casual.
FOR WOMEN: Choose short or long-sleeve tops dependingon the weather or time of day instead of sleeveless. Try dif-ferent combinations of tops and sweaters with a skirt orslacks. Jeans should normally be avoided as well as yoga-style pants. For footwear, boots, closed-toe or open-toeshoes that cover most of the foot are usually appropriate.
FOR MEN: Shirts and sweaters come in an endless varietyof colors and patterns. Avoid Hawaiian-style prints andstraight bottom shirts that don't tuck into pants. Ties are notnecessary. Footwear should cover the entire foot and beclean. Slacks and corduroy pants are fine, but not jeans.Khakis and polo shirts are common. If there's any doubt,wear slacks and a button-up shirt.
FOR BOTH: Jackets or sport coats are a great accessoryand can come in handy if an event turns out to be more for-mal than expected. Make it a practice to carry one, just incase.
Deciding what's appropriate for "business casual" dressmeans thinking about your industry, as well as the geogra-phy, climate, culture and average age of your clientele. Butmore importantly, when you want to convey that you reallymean business, make sure to look the part.
