Dress & Image

Contained herein is etiquette on dress: a set of rules that cover shirts, pants, shoes, ties, sweaters, vest coats, suits, jackets, overcoats, and policies. Each piece of clothing you own is to have a personality. People identify with you based on how you dress. The primary rule, clothing for business-work is to be crisp and clean to a fault. For business-social day, clothing can be casual and relaxed. Business-social night clothing may need to be more dressed up. Social day and night clothing could be sporty. Cultural dress requirements might need to be more specific. Dress is all about-

Pedigree… Shirts

Leashes… Ties

Paw Covers… Shoes

Collars… Policies

& Personality.

Twenty percent of success is dress, in a long term planning process. A player must look the part before being considered qualified for the part.

In business work, there are people who are called "Shirts." They wear crew shirts: (trainees and line workers,) and shirts with collars: (line supervisors.) Some of these people want to become "Ties:" (mid-level supervisors) and more than one of these people aspires to be a "Suit:" (an executive.)

Dress every day for a meeting with a company President, and not as if you were this person. Know the difference.

Dress to give an outward sign of your inward state of mind. Socially, avoid dressing too neatly and being confused for a floorwalker, an actor, and/or a model.
