Let’s be real: For most of us, even if we work in a place without a dress code, there’s a dress code. The suit (or at least blazer) and tie standard. The generation that constitutes most of leadership believes in ideas like “dress for success.” Even if it’s subconscious, they end up judging the “under-dressed” in most situations. This is why the old adage “dress for the job you want” remains valid. You may think it’s unfair, but it doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of this phenomenon.
