An investment in a professional wardrobe is an investment in your career and your future. A well put-together wardrobe not only helps garner respect and credibility in the workplace, but it also boosts your confidence. When you dress professionally, you’ll be viewed in a more positive light, feel more professional, and be more productive.

Today, there is no need to hide beneath the “I’m the man” façade. As fashion has changed, so has people’s perception of a man who knows how to dress. A man who knows how to look good and in turn feels good about himself is very attractive. Don’t hesitate to be creative when it comes to fashion, a woman digs a man who has his own style.

Paris Hilton Effect

If you're a man thinking whatever it is that men think, Paris Hilton is a cutie. But if you want to present yourself as a rising office star, you don't want to take your fashion tips from her. Does her picture scream Mensa Society to you?

Dress Down Friday

Is "Dress Down Friday" an attempt to loosen things up at the office, or is it abject surrender to creeping slovenliness? Leave such philosophical discussions for the weekly staff meeting and dress well Monday through Friday to boost your career.

The Basics

Unless the Army-Navy surplus store is your tailor and you're proud of it, dressing for the office isn't hard to figure out. Dress as you want to be seen: Serious, professional, upward-bound and ready to meet clients.

Listen Up, Guys

When in doubt, go traditional. You can't go wrong with a button-down shirt, polished black shoes, a blue, black or gray jacket, slacks that complement the jacket and a conservative necktie. (If necessary, print this out and post it on the refrigerator, fellas.)

For Women

The traditional look for women includes a skirt that hits just above the knee, slacks and perhaps pantsuits, simple jewelry, a little makeup and polished flats or moderate heels.

When In Doubt

If you're starting a new job and aren't sure how to dress, kick it up a notch. It's better to be overdressed than underdressed. You don't want your new boss to think you don't take the job seriously. Grubby clothes suggest an undergraduate view of the world.

Look Around

Check out how others dress at the office and emulate the rising stars. If you aspire to be a manager, dress like the managers. Always dress for the task at hand, and remember that there's a difference between the weekly staff meeting and lunch with a major client.
