When Andrea Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway in the 2006 dramedy The Devil Wears Prada) wore her shabby clothes and "cerulean blue" sweater to work, her co-workers perceived her to be disinterested in her jobas untrue as that was. Think of her makeover and how that became the turning point of her career or when one of the first instructions Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht in the 2011 TV series Suits) gave his protégé Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams) was to buy new suits, a far cry from the issue of committing a fraud that was at hand. The point is dressing well matters. Your fashion choices are telling and they tell us more than just where you shop from.
So, while throwing on a basic white tee and a pair of denims doesn't necessarily mean you're not dedicated enough, it does imply it. We believe dressing well earns you a few brownie points if you have your eye on climbing that corporate ladder. But in a world where workplaces are increas ingly becoming more flexible with their professional practices, we're curious to know what fashion choices say about an employee, and a style guide to ace your look.
