Who to Dress For
Dress for the person or group you are meeting, not just yourself. Consider the host, client, interviewer, or audience. Their expectations set the standard for appropriate attire.
How Occasion Shapes the Dress Code
Formal events, business meetings, and casual outings each require different clothing. Match the formality level to the setting. When unsure, choose slightly more polished attire.
Quick Guidance by Role
For interviews, dress one level above the company norm. For client meetings, mirror the client’s style. For networking, aim for smart casual. Use resources like The Balance Careers for role-specific examples.
