INFOGRAPHIC: Different dress codes for meetings and special events
What you wear to a meeting is one of the greatest first impressions you could give to people – so it’s important that you dress for success.
Depending on the type of meeting you are attending, the right outfit will differ accordingly. This simple dress code guide will help you to decide on the appropriate look for your upcoming meeting or event:
Casual
The easiest dress code, casual is actually a ‘no dress code’ dress code. This is mostly applicable for meetings that are held off site or for team building events. It is totally acceptable to attend in your most comfortable outfit but you should still make the effort to look decently professional – though being a little stylish won’t hurt!
