  1. Men’s Dress: BusinessProfessionalandCasual X420 DISCUSSION SESSION #51

  2. Business Dress for Men: Professional and Casual Professional Dress Is Common in the Corporate World

  3. Business Professional: The Suit The first impression ALWAYS has the most impact …

  4. Suit Basics Remember: Match your style to the corporate culture -- for instance, finance is more conservative, advertising more adventurous

  5. Suit Fabric Be a little conservative…please! AVOID: Sharkskin, “shiny” fabrics, poplin, corduroy, and other more casual fabrics

  6. Suit Care It doesn’t require a valet… … just a little knowledge

  7. Suit Fit “If it feels good, wear it”

  8. Wearing the Suit looking good = feeling good

  9. The Shirt Tale

  10. Tie One On TIP: For illustrated instructions on tying these knots, try www.menswearhouse.com

  11. Just say “No”…to bow ties

  12. If the Shoe Fits MEN: NEVER - that is, NEVER -- show some leg. When you are seated, with your legs crossed, ONLY socks should show.

  13. Accessories - Less is More The boardroom isn’t for skateboarding, and the office suite isn’t a rave so: NO earrings, NO necklaces, NO studs, NO bracelets.

  14. The Rules of the Game - DO... • Accommodate your dress to the corporate environment. • Not sure? Dress up a notch rather than down. • When in doubt, go more conservative. • Remember, your dress says who you are. • Buy less, buy classic, buy the best . Strategy: Choose one of the highest ranking individuals in your company -- CEO, CFO, CIO -- and emulate their style.

  15. The Rules of the Game - DON’T... • Use short socks – ugh! Go for mid-calf or knee-highs. • Wear wrinkled shirts – you want that crisp, professional look • Skip the belt. Empty belt loops are slovenly. • Wear casual shoes, or shoes with well-worn heels. • Never wear both braces and a belt. • Wear a brown suit to an interview. • Jangle when you walk – keep the jewelry and pocket contents to a minimum.

  16. Business Casual: Walking A Fine Line

  17. Professional to Casual Taking it down a notch…

  18. Sport Coats

  19. Slacks Business casual slacks work in the office and after hours

  20. Shirts Collars, turtlenecks – but not crew necks

  21. Business Casual: In General…. • Follow the “Dos” and “Don’ts” for Business Professional dress. • Keep an eye on the fashion choices of those who set the corporate culture…do not worry about just being part of the herd, let your classic sense of style and your work set you apart. • When in doubt, dress up a notch. • If you are not sure something is appropriate, then it probably is not.

  22. Business Casual: Check it Out…. ….and this is NOT! This is okay….
