By paraphrasing the famous expression that “you are what you eat”, we can say with confidence: “You’ll be, what you are dressed in.” Yes, if you want to accomplish everything that your manager has, write this phrase everywhere: on the refrigerator, on the doors of the study, on your computer desktop, etc.
To find out whether you will have a salary increase, there is no need to run to the fortune-teller, calculate a lucky number, because your clothes will tell everything about you.”If you want to go up the corporate ladder, dress as if you’re already on the top of it” – these wise words apply to everyone, regardless of where you work.
Cannot decide what style of clothing to choose? Look at the clothing of your boss. No matter, whether it is a woman or a man. You do not have to become his “little copy”, just watch out for his/her manner of dressing. What your boss usually wears at work? What style, fabrics, pattern does he/she prefer? You can make up your wardrobe, guided by the answers to these questions. The most important thing is to do it discreetly and quietly. If you dress the same way as do the dignitaries of your office, they will take you “for them.”
If your boss is a man, just know that men are more receptive to the signals, which the clothing carries, than women. According to one informal survey, men tend more to judge a person by his clothes, than women. When it comes to image and appearance, men give higher marks to those women who look good. And “good” in their understanding does not necessarily mean “having beautiful facial features, or shape.” “Good” – meaning well-groomed and in accordance with the situation. This is one of the keys to success.
