• The Importance of Dressing
Professionally at Work.
Presenting a positive representation of yourself
is a key component of experiencing
professional success. What you wear, how you
communicate and your body language can all
impact the image others have of you. Creating a
professional look can help you command
attention and serious consideration at work. In
this article, we discuss what dressing
professionally is, why it's important to dress
professionally at work, the benefits of having a
dress code and tips for dressing professionally.
• What is dressing
professionally?
Dressing professionally refers to wearing
clothes and accessories designed for a
professional workplace. Professional outfits are
modest, well tailored and free of images or
graphics. Your clothes should be clean, ironed
and free of rips, holes or stains. The level of
formality in each work environment differs, so
dressing professionally in one setting may
mean wearing a suit while another office may
advise employees to wear khaki pants and a
company polo. Review your company
handbook to learn about the specific policies at
your organization
• .Why is it important
to dress
professionally at
work?
Here are some reasons why it's important dress
professionally in your workplace:
• To make a good first
impression
Your appearance is often the first thing others
notice about you. Dressing professionally can
help form a positive impression to people you
meet in the workplace. This is especially
important for interviews and when meeting
upper-level managers who make hiring and
promotion decisions. The initial judgments
people make about you can influence their
long-term opinions.
• To communicate that you
take your job seriously
Dressing professionally sends the message
that you are serious abolut the work you
do. It shows that you spend time and effort
on your appearance, which demonstrates
that you care about representing yourself
well at work. When you show that you take
your job seriously, it helps others see you as
someone they should respect and take into
consideration.
• To represent your
company
As a member of your organization, you serve as
a representative of the company to the public.
Whether you're making service calls, visiting
clients or speaking with customers in a store,
your appearance reflects on the business.
Dressing professionally helps you present a
positive, professional image of your
organization to others. Even if you dress
casually or wear a uniform, making sure you
look neat and put together can improve the
reception you receive. Employers appreciate
employees who consider themselves as
company ambassadors to the public.
• To give you
confidence
You can do your best work when you feel your
best. Dressing professionally can help you feel
empowered and confident to take on new
challenges, meet new people and progress in
your career. When other areas of your
professional life may be out of your control,
how you present yourself is something that you
can control and use to your advantage.
The image you curate is like your personal
brand. It can often communicate a great deal
about you to others who don't interact with
you. Create a professional wardrobe that
speaks to your goals, personality and creativity.
• To help you feel part of the
team
Being able to work with others is a crucial
element of success in many professional
environments. Dressing professionally can help
you feel like you belong in spaces with your
peers and supervisors and that you have
valuable insights and ideas to contribute. Your
colleagues may be more inclined to include you
in important discussions and projects if you
appear professional and committed.
• To enhance your credibility
When you look professional, people respond
more positively to you, often engaging more
and trusting what you're saying. Dressing
professionally can give you an added layer of
credibility in your dealings with coworkers,
managers, clients and the public.
• Benefits of having a dress code at
work
Having a dress code at work can provide the
following benefits:
• Eliminating subjectivity and
miscommunication: Having a dress code
can help eliminate subjectivity in wardrobe
choices. How employees define terms like
"casual" or "professional" can vary, so
having specific guidelines can help avoid
these concerns.
• Ensuring fair treatment: Creating an
official dress code policy can help ensure
that all employees receive fair treatment
from supervisors.
• Presenting professionalism: With a
dress code in place, no matter who comes
into your office, they are met with a
professional environment, which can create
a positive association with your company.
• Promoting productivity: When all
employees dress professionally and have an
extra boost of confidence, it can lead to a
more motivated and productive team.
• Making employees easily
recognizable: In some companies,
instituting a dress code that includes
uniforms can help your employees stand
out. This can be important for employees
who need customers to recognize them,
such as those who make service calls, like
technicians, or those who work in crowded
spaces, like restaurant workers,
• Adhering to safety standards: In some
industries, like manufacturing, law
enforcement and healthcare, dress codes
are vital to ensure the safety of employees,
clients and patients. Safety goggles, flame
resistant clothing and gloves are a few
examples of necessary elements of a
company's dress code.
