| Dress Like a Grown Up |

| NEWS YOU CAN USE: It turns out that dressing well can actually make you more successful. Who knew? This is such a "no, duh?" that I would have thought it went without saying. Then I thought about the legions of chin-bearded, tattooed, be-hoodied knucklehead graduating from college these days (and let’s not even discuss what the men look like) and thought again. |

| #6 I'm required to wear appropriate clothing at work. Steel-toed boots, long jeans, Eddie Bauer or Hawaiian shirts (SPF built-in the fabric) are appropriate. I'm a happy boy |

| #5 So, does this mean I shouldn't be making what I'm making based on what I'm wearing right now? Do I have to give the money back? Yes, there are paint stains on my jeans. |

| #2 The traditional wool suit and tie that business professionals feel compelled to wear evolved in northern Europe where it is cold most of the time. I'd still wear one if I was going to a job interview, a wedding or a funeral but most days in southern California a wool jacket is totally unnecessary and uncomfortable. Let's not even talk about polyester. Tattoos, stubble, sandals and hoodies are still inappropriate for office workers. Pants that are worn below one's ass should be treated as a misdemeanor. |

| #1 Its too bad that for men its considered "professional" to wear three layers and a piece of cloth around your neck in DC's summer heat, while women are free to wear one layer of loose clothing. |
