Good Grooming
Be aware of your appearance and its impact on those around you. Consistency is essential. You can’t project a good image by dressing up a few times a week and then show up looking like you’re getting ready to mow a lawn. Wear appropriate, clean clothing and accessories. For example, revealing shirts, nose rings, and such may not be appropriate in a work setting. It is not appropriate, usually, to wear wrinkled clothing or to have shirttales hanging out of your pants. More business are adopting “business casual” policies, so knowing the proper clothes to buy is critical.
What is business casual to some may not be acceptable to others, but there are few guidelines most organization accepts. First of all, casual doesn’t mean sloppy or shabby. For women, casual attire includes simple skirts and slacks (no jeans), cotton shirts, sweaters (not to tight), blazers, low-heeled shoes or boots (always with socks or stockings). For men acceptable casual attire includes khaki trousers, sport shirts with collars, sweaters or sport jackets, casual loafers or lace-up shoes (no athletic shoes)
