Dress for Success

          YPs, as the nice weather approaches, the heels will come out in full force.  Here is a 4.5 inch heel, from the Late Great Alexander McQueen’s Final Collection.  He was known for pushing the limits of fashion, and these are no exception.  Whether or not these are for you, you must admire the creativity he put into his work.  These shoes go for $1,169.  So make sure these are really for you, before you use your rent/mortgage money to get a pair.  YPs Stand Up!!!

          Lately I’ve been having an attitude towards women that have been wearing leggings in replace of actual pants… Back in the 80’s, leggings were the “ish.” They disappeared for awhile, but made a comeback about three years ago. It’s nothing wrong with wearing leggings, but there is something wrong when you wear them incorrectly.

YPRuck: YP’s I love to look good in the work place and there are some do’s and don’t's as far as work attire and I probably will blog about it soon but here is a good article from GQ.com that gives some good tips on how to clean up your young professional look.  The term “dress for success” may be cliche’ but it’s true, you look good, you feel good and people take notice.  In addition, looking good is and does not have to be expensive so don’t think you have to spend a lot of money as GQ may suggest.  Dressing well for an important job interview may not get you the job but it can be a contributing factor so let’s not go into an interviews looking crazy YP’s, look good, feel good and you’ll be glowing with confidence.

It’s tough out there these days. So if you’re looking for work, you should be putting as much thought into your wardrobe as your CV. We helped seven on-the-hunt guys refine their looks so they can nail the interview and land the gig.

Jesse Gill, 23
Job he wants: Formula One engineer

Before

Jesse’s got the right colors for Europe — navy suit, brown shoes-but his outfit needs to be streamlined, like the race cars he hopes to one day design.

After

1. Way too young to be sporting a yellow power tie. This blue silk knit brings out the blue in his shirt and goes with just about everything.

2. Unless you’re a CEO, go with fine-line pinstripes — more urban gent, less robber baron.

3. As any Italian will tell you, there’s nothing wrong with caramel brown shoes. But for an interview, go with a darker, more subdued shade.

Formal Dress Code Guidelines

In a formal business environment, the standard of dressing for men and women is a suit, a jacket and pants or a skirt, or a dress paired with appropriate accessories.

Clothing that reveals too much cleavage, your back, your chest, your feet, your stomach or your underwear is not appropriate for a place of business. In our work environment, clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. All seams must be finished. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive to other employees is unacceptable.
