"Now, no matter what style you are going to be wearing to work, the most important thing is that you look good. And, what I'm talking about is, are there any stains on your clothes? Make sure that your clothes are always washed and clean, pressed. If you, you know, work in the kind of environment where you, you know, you wearing button down type shirts, go ahead and get them to the dry cleaners on a regular basis. If you have holes or tears, get those things repaired. And that goes for things like belts, shoes. What you want to get rid of as far as what you wear to work, goes, is anything that looks shabby. And, unfortunately, shabby is usually very, very comfortable. But, you're going to have to set those things aside in your closet. Well, I actually say get rid of them, totally, but if they're your favorite things, set them aside so that you don't wear them to work. Anything that's very, very worn, old looking, super faded, get rid of it as far as work clothes go. Everything else should look very, very sharp, very, very clean, very, very polished."
