Work dress - My how things have changed!

Work dress - My how things have changed! They are sure not what they used to be, especially with the whole hybrid workplace in motion. But here's the thing: The way you dress is more than just clothes. It's your personal brand. It screams who you are, how seriously you take your work and how you respect your colleagues.

Yes, workplace dress codes are becoming more relaxed, allowing employees to incorporate a bit of themselves into what they wear. But don't get it wrong—what works in a tech startup won't fly in a law firm. Your outfit is still sending out a message of professionalism.

Despite the 'freedom' to wear what we want, your choice of attire is always on display, telling your story before you even speak. From power suits to laid-back jeans, make sure you're not just fitting in but standing out for the right reasons. I think of my niece, who works in supply chain for a major corporation, and I shudder at how she dresses. Yes, jeans and tee shirts may be ok, but at some point.....

Bottom line: Your style, your rules, but keep it professional. The game might have changed, but the rules of playing it smart with your wardrobe haven't.

How are we doing?
