My friend, if you’re here – my guess is that you already know what Polished is about! In here, we are all about investing in ourselves. We care about our appearances. We know that first impressions matter more than anything. And we know that what we wear should reflect what we bring to the table. Your professional image is one of the greatest tools you have to help you achieve your goals! Are you using it every day? Are your clothes saying what you want them to say? If not, keep reading to see 3 reasons why you should stop underdressing for work!
I’m going to level with you: I know that things have changed after Covid. Dress codes have relaxed! A lot of us are working from home or on a hybrid model, and dressing your best can feel less important. But I promise you that it’s as important as ever! You might be jumping back into the job market or trying to move up (and you deserve all good things, my brilliant friend!). But I guarantee that another candidate with your credentials is putting in the effort in this way! Want to make sure you have the edge? Use your professional image to your advantage! Let’s put your best foot forward and level up!
Here Are 3 Reasons Why You Should Stop Underdressing For Work:
- You’ll be taken more seriously every day. Investing in your professional image is a strategy. It will send a message to your boss or superior that you’re ready for other opportunities! They’ll be more inclined to trust you because you look the part. Because if you’re clearly making an effort in this way, they’ll know you’re making an effort everywhere!
- You’d be more likely to be considered for a promotion. The sign of a leader is a strong executive presence. They all have something that sets them apart when they walk into a room! Want to be the boss? Then start embodying boss energy with your professional appearance!
- It’ll improve your workday. Life happens, and there are plenty of things that can derail your workday. Or maybe your day-to-day is just always stressful! There is nothing worse than catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror on a crappy day, and realizing you look as crappy as you feel. If you look good, though, your attitude will instantly shift! You’ll be saying, “Let me get this day done so I can get to happy hour, because I look good today, damnit!” And guess what? I guarantee you’ll get it all done better and faster because how you feel won’t be dragging you down!
