Sigh. Business casual—a term that's as perplexing as people who eat pizza with a fork and knife.

You've landed a new job (congrats, by the way!) or trying to fit better in your current company culture, and the dress code reads "business casual."

Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. It's a cliche because it's true!

I would add: dress for the job you have, and if you aren't already, it's never too late to begin again.

Here's a secret: dressing like a CEO isn't just about power suits and high heels. It's about crafting an image that exudes confidence, competence, and charisma and feels like you.

You've got your foot in the door at an awesome company.

You're working your ass off every day.

You KNOW you have what it takes.

But some of your colleagues still treat you like you don't belong.

Sadly, making a mark isn’t just about what you bring to the table regarding skills and ambition.

Ah, summer. The season of sun, sand, and... sweat?

For you, summer may be far away, and for others, the temps where you live never dip but for the gentlemen navigating the professional world, summer brings the annual dilemma: How do you stay cool in the blistering heat while still looking sharp and professional in a business casual environment?

Think about the people you admire at work... there's just something about them when they walk in the door. Confidence. Authority. Effortlessly Polished. Professional.

What makes all that possible? Could it really be their clothes? As a professional personal stylist for over ten years, I've seen clients find stellar personal style over and over again.
