As an account executive for a technology company, I spend most of my days talking bits and bytes with middle-aged IT guys. In my world, the uniform de rigueur is khakis and a sport shirt.
Since Dockers and polos aren’t really my thing, I used to compromise by either wearing a stodgy looking suit (in an attempt to look older) or dressing in all black (in an attempt to blend in). Needless to say, getting dressed for work was bo-ring.
I am a staunch believer in the adage “When you look good, you feel good.” It took a lot of trial and error, but I finally found a workplace style that fits my personality but still looks polished and professional. I can still talk shop with the best of them, but who’s to say I have to look like a dork while doing it? Not me.
