Whilst being conscientious and dedicated will improve your career prospects no end, your image and appearance are also crucial in creating the right impression in the workplace. Many businesses are now opting for a more casual approach in the run up to the weekend and dress down Friday is now more common than ever. With choice comes dilemma though, as it can often prove difficult to successfully achieve the right balance between casual work wear and showing a little of your personality and fashion style.

It can be done if you follow a few simple rules, so read on to discover our top tips on how to make dress down Friday a success!?!

1. Probably the best advice we can give you is to always dress as if an unexpected client may show up at the door at any time, and that way you can’t fail to succeed?!?

2. Always be well groomed when you go to work. Despite the name – dress down Friday is no excuse for not shaving or washing your hair and trying to hide it under a cap!?!

3. Try to keep your appearance neat and tidy. Wear trousers or jeans that fit, nothing should be dragging on the floor and please make sure your waistband sits on your waist!!!

4. Air conditioning plays havoc with your body temperature in an office environment, so always layer your outfit during the colder months to enable you to add or shed clothing as required!?!

5. Always remember to dress comfortably as your outfit will have to last all day. A great alternative to a shirt is the polo shirt – comprising of a cross between a shirt and a t-shirt, the collar makes them look instantly smarter and adds that little something extra without compromising on comfort!?!
