Recommendation

Self-help books tend to be either insightful or dumb. Author Ann Marie Sabath manages to accomplish both results in the same book. At times, the book provides useful examples on topics that are truly unclear, but other times it tells you to wear your galoshes in the snow. If you are willing to shift through some incredible obviousness, then you will find enough pearls. The lists of common mistakes that start each chapter are particularly helpful. If you do nothing else, read these lists and find out if you are committing a dressing gaffe. If you can honestly say that you have not or never will commit any of the mistakes on the lists then you are ready to navigate the business casual workplace confidently. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone who is clueless or forgetful about how important appearance is to workplace success.

Take-Aways

  • Business casual does not mean casual.
  • Sneakers are never acceptable in a business casual environment.
  • If there is no written dress code, dress like the boss.
