Dressing for work is a stressful event for some people. Between shopping for clothes, matching a wardrobe and generally fitting in, it is sometimes stressful to dress for success.

This guide will show you how to dress for success and how to become more successful at work.

1. Every corporate culture is slightly different. Many offices subscribe to business casual which means that dressy clothes are required but a suit and tie is not.
2. Look around your office regularly and make mental notes of what people are wearing.
3. Initiate interesting conversation starters such as, "you look nice today, where did you get your shirt" or "I like your pants, where do you shop?"
4. If all else fails, seek the help of a professional. Many middle and upscale stores employ personal shoppers that will help you find great work clothes.http://humanresources.about.com/od/workrelationships/a/dress_code.htm

Generally, for men or women, it is tough to go wrong with a a pair of khaki pants and a tucked in dress shirt. Khaki pants come in a variety of business friendly colors including blue, black, tan and grey. Wearing a complimentary button up dress shirt with a color is both casual and put together. Nice shoes and a belt that matches will complete this standard business look.http://www.careerknowhow.com/ask_sue/dress-down.htm

For Men:

• Dark, muted colors are preferable for pants, shoes and shirts.

Navy blue, grey, and black are all good choices.

For Women:

• A suit with a button down dress shirt, a pencil shirt or slacks are good choices.

Above all else, think "classy". Thin, tight shirts or pants are rarely (if ever) appropriate. Showing cleavage or rolling up your shirt to show your biceps are both inappropriate.

When shopping for clothes think conservatively. If you hate wearing traditional office clothes, there is nothing wrong with that; just save your rad shirts and hot shorts for after hours.
