Impeccable Dress for Success Guidelines
Impeccable Men's Dress for Success Guidelines
Formal
Tuxedo, white tuxedo dress shirt, studs and cuff links
Black socks and tuxedo/dress shoes.
Business Formal
Matching dark suit, long sleeved, white dress shirt, black belt, shoes and socks.
A great, power tie. Cuff links always get the vote of approval from women.
Business Every Day
Dress trousers, executive length socks, long sleeved dress shirt in white, blue or striped and a great tie. Dress shoes (lace up) and belt in back or maroon. Keep a jacket and tie handy to wear to meetings.
Business Casual
Dress trousers or khaki trousers. Dress shirt (colored or striped) and tie or open neck dress shirt. Socks, shoes (slip on) and matching belt.
Resort Wear
Golf shirt and shorts, long trousers, short sleeved dress shirt and deck shoes or upscale sport shoes and white socks.
A Few More Details:
Light on the cologne, clean shaven appeals to more people.
Dress socks mean executive length to the calf of the leg.
Ties: the correct length is to have the tie end at the bottom of your belt buckle.
Dress Shirts: wear one day only and then send out to be laundered and pressed.
Suits: dry clean trousers and jackets together.
Shoes and Belt: If you have black or gray hair, black shoes and belt are perfect.
If you have brown hair you can wear a brown belt and shoes in addition to black.
T-shirt under your dress shirt should have a V-neck line not a rounded neckline.
Quality: purchase the highest quality you can afford. Buy fewer items of better quality
and dress to conquer the world each and every day.
Men's Grooming Tips: clean-shaven, use a nose and ear trimmer and make sure no back or chest hair is showing above or through your dress shirt.
Impeccable Women's Dress for Success Guidelines
Formal
Long dress or skirt/top combination. Sleeved and not showing inappropriate cleavage. People from Asia and Saudi will be offended at over-exposure.
Business Formal
Dark, matched suit, crisp white or colored blouse. Dress shoes (heels) and stockings.
Select the traditional business colors of black or navy and then depending on your business culture you may add camel, dark brown or red in your suits. Select wrinkle free fabrics.
Business Every Day
Fashionable, colored suits, dress, jacket and trousers. A jacket always adds to visual authority. Closed toe dress shoes.
Business Casual
Day dress with sleeves. Skirt and sweater set. Trousers and blouse or sweater set.
Dress sandals, trouser shoe or sling back shoes.
Resort Wear
Skirt and sleeved top. Dress shorts/golf shorts. Creased trousers and crisp shirt or sweater set. Sport shoe or sandals.
A Few More Details:
Avoid sleeveless tops at work. If your top/blouse is sleeveless, always wear a jacket.
Stockings/nylons are appropriate in business although you may use a skin bronzer in hot weather climates if your company approves of no stockings. Bare legs look sexy and stockings look professional.
Always dry clean your garments in units, skirt, jacket and trousers at the same time.
Buy fewer items of higher quality. Plain garments (no pattern) allow for greater mix and match possibilities.
Ten Point System: count one point for each of the following: shoes, each accessory (rings, earrings, belt, shoes, necklace) dress, clothing, adding another point for patterned clothing. The object is to have your "look" add up to ten points for a stunning image of a polished professional.
Light on the perfume. Clean shaven legs and underarms. Wear a white blouse only once and then wash it. Ladies dress shirts can be cleaned and pressed using a laundry service.
No dangling or sparkling earrings in the business environment.
Cosmetics: equal intensity on the eyes, checks and lips. Avoid shiny cosmetics in the daytime.
Quality: purchase the highest quality you can afford. Buy fewer items of better quality and dress to conquer the world.
Don't be a slave to fashion. Purchase high quality garments that are timeless and appropriate for you, your lifestyle, your business and your desired outcome for advancement within your company.

Re: Success
- I study success intently, and would like to share:
Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters.
FIRST FORMULA:
1. Passionate Desire
2. Clear, Definite Purpose
3. Committed Decision
4. Take Action In Faith
(Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently)
I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it.
Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula.
SECOND FORMULA:
1. Passionate Desire
2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith)
3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly)
This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret).
Hope that helps!
Success Strategies
- How to get the results you want now?
Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are:
The Power of Choice
Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this.
The Power of Focus
The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives.
The Power of Commitment
This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
My Success Acronyn in Success Breakthroughs(c) is:
S pecific & self-directed
U nlimited opportunities & possibilities
C reate powerful outcomes
C onsistent measureable results
E xperience pwoerful transformation
S olution and action-oriented
