ABSTRACT

Dressing properly and appropriately is extremely important. It can be the difference between making the right impression and making the wrong one. The type of occasion, the time, and the location all help determine what will be appropriate. A convention, for example, usually means casual dress. If the meeting is in Hawaii, shorts and a tee shirt may be acceptable. If you are a speaker or presenter, however, a suit is still the way to go. When planning a job interview, think about how you want to present yourself to the interviewer, since your attire does make a positive or negative statement about you.
