You may be asking yourself, “Wait, this is a tip? Isn’t this idea obvious?
Surprisingly enough, as the professional world moves toward a more relaxed and casual feel, the art of dressing for success is disappearing. A surefire way to ensure that you leave a less-than-desired first impression is by showing up on day one (or seven) dressed too casually. Poor attire gives the idea that you aren’t interested in your position or that they are simply a rung on the ladder of your own success.
Even if you are moving to a new role within your company, start on a sound footing by upgrading your wardrobe. Take a look at how the team you are working with dresses, and seek to meet or exceed that expectation. Not only will you impress your managers, but dressing well will increase your productivity and engagement with others.
