Clothes Have an Expiration Date
LOSE secretary blouses, shoulder pads, pleated pants, mid-calf length skirts/dresses, double breasted jackets and white contrast collars.
If it’s several years old toss due to wear and tear alone.
KEEP investment pieces and clothes with fresh fabrics and modern shapes.

Wear Shapes That Flatter
Just because it looks good on someone else doesn’t mean it works for you.
WOMEN : Pencil skirts and button downs are
hard to pull off, TRY A-line skirts and dresses and
scoop-necked blouses and tailored jackets.
MEN : LOSE pleated
pants and baggy suits.
TRY slim-fit suits and
2-button jackets.

Fit is the Most Important Factor
Too big: Fix it. Too small: Lose it.
Common factors: arms, shoulders, chest, waist and backside.
When shopping, size up and tailor for a perfect fit.

How To Accessorize
Show your personality.
MEN : shoes, belt and
briefcase
WOMEN : shoes, bag,
jewelry and tights (lose the hose!)

Modern Shapes and Styles
Incorporate modern shapes with classic
silhouettes to ensure your look is relevant
without being too trendy.

no-cuff pant, ankle grazing hem, vest

tulip skirt, wide-leg,
high waist pant, full skirt,
boyfriend blazer, vest

Purchase a Versatile Go-to
