1. Choose your outfit wisely.-----Select an outfit that will impress your peers. Ladies should avoid wearing clothes that reveal cleavage, chest, in some cases feet, stomach and under wear. Study shows that these has been viewed as labeling one as being less competent regardless of skills. And could cause a reason for being passed over for a job
   or promotion.

2. Dress according to your job task.--For instance if you are a manager, dress like a manager. Based on your company's policy and rules dress casual or slightly better than if you were a standard employee. If your job requires customer interaction on a short notice keep a change
   of clothes handy. Or keep a blazer or sport coat (for men shirt and tie) to add to your present attire. This is to make your outfit more professional looking and for a dressier look.

3. Follow the dress code if one is provided by your employer. These codes are to allow employees to work comfortable while projecting professional images to customers. Some companies may have a dress down day. On these days you are allowed to wear jeans, and other casual clothing.
   
   Certain companies require certain attire such as uniforms. They should be kept clean, washed and ironed. Some companies supply laundry service for their uniforms.
