In order to climb a ladder, you need to have a right co-ordination, correct dress, a pinch of confidence and most importantly the trust on you and the trust on the ladder. The same applies to even a corporate ladder. To reach good positions, your intelligence alone will not serve the purpose. You will need to have the commitment, dedication and most importantly the trust on the company, which you work for. And apart from these, there's something that often goes unnoticed among discussion. It's nothing but the attire at office.
If you want people to take you seriously, the way you dress plays a key role. Besides looking formal, you should also make sure your dress suits the office environment. Always try and wear conservative colours such as grey, blue and black. For women, extra attention should be given towards accessories. It is advised to wear not more than a single pair of ear rings. And it was said by corporate gurus that women should wear just a small pendent instead of wearing too much of jewellery, which can certainly make her struck somewhere in the middle of her corporate ladder. However, if she chooses pushy ways, the case is different as we are talking about serious employees who wants to climb corporate ladder in moral ways.
Always wear a business suit during special occasions, meetings and inspections. This will obviously leave a good impression on you. Make sure your belt matches your shoes and your purse matches your wrist watch. Always polish your shoes and heels less than 3 inch are advisable if you are comfortable with it. The watch should not be funky but simple and sober. Sports watches and sports shoes are strict no at many offices on regular days. On the other hand, women should never go to office with anklets as the anklets' sound will distract fellow colleagues to the core. Also, it will leave a bad impression on the person wearing them.
So, make sure you be extra careful at office if you want to leave a clean and good impression on not just your boss but even your colleagues, after all world is small and you may meet your present colleagues at a different point of time and their feedback at that time can literally upside down your life.
