Overlooked DetailsOverlooked Details• Shoes are one of the most evaluated
elements of a man’s wardrobe. • Your shoes should be clean and in
good repair as well as appropriate for the occasion.
• Don’t wear the same shoe on consecutive days.
• Keep shoe trees in your shoes when you’re not wearing them.
• Be sure to edge dress and polish your shoes before going out for the day.
• It is a fact that people will make judgments about your tidiness if your shoes are scuffed and old looking.

• Minimal glitz - Choose a couple of key accessories
• Men - a nice watch and cufflinks
• Women - small earrings and simple rings
• The suggestion is that lot's of sparkles and glitz can be distracting. Understated accessories suggest a practical more serious approach to work, "less show and more go”.

• Ladies-Suit coats are a must. It is harder for females to quickly establish a professional presence without a suit coat.
• A skirt is recommended, again, because it conveys professionalism much better than slacks. Skirts should be no more than 2” above the knee, and not much longer than mid-calf.

Tailoring your garments to fit
• Spend what is necessary to insure that your garments fit you. Regardless of what they look like on a hanger or what they cost you should ensure that they are fitted to your body by a proper tailor.

Overlooked DetailsOverlooked Details Scent (For Men & Women)• Any perfume, cologne, or perfumed grooming product should not be noticeable at normal business proximity. This means that you can exit the elevator and no one entering should be able to guess that you were there. As with the other aspects of your grooming, scent should not call attention on its own. Scent should never be a distraction, but, if anything, a subtle adjunct that the vast majority of people you encounter will never notice or be close enough to perceive.
