CasualMales and Females

Hoodie tops (tops with a hood attached which can conceal the wearer's face) have developed an association with anti

social or criminal behaviour and may inadvertantly intimidate others or cause security concerns and so are

best avoided.

Be smart about this, wear anything you would normally wear to class (NO sweatpants) but make sure that you

look decent and well put together. Think comfortable but also presentable.

Pajamas are completely OPTIONAL to wear to the party. If you would like to wear your normal party attire, feel free.

Business Professional -

Male Tie - Required. Bow ties are acceptable but are very unusual and should be avoided. The top button of the collar of the shirt must be done up. Tie pins are generally out of fashion. Avoid novelty items.

Suit Jacket - Plain dark suits are the safest option, but any good quality suit is suitable. A pinstripe can also be a good choice, especially in the finance industry or in management. (A blazer is not normally acceptable.) Collared Dress Shirt - Clean and well pressed. White is the universally prefered color. Ideally the shirt should be french cuffed and worn with cufflinks. Avoid button down collars.

Suit Pants - Must match the jacket. Avoid wearing the same suit for two consecutive days. A second pair of matching pants is always a good idea with every business suit, if available, as they suffer more wear than the jacket.

Dress Socks - Ideally the same color as your suit. At least as dark as your suit. Mid-calf length. No patterns, logos, or pictures.

Dress Shoes - Leather. Preferably black. At least as dark as your socks. Always wear lace up shoes. People are often judged on their shoes so good quality shoes can be a good investment in business. Oxfords, Leather. Loafers, Leather.

Different industries, cultures, and companies have their own conventions which you should try observe and adopt. The purpose of full business dress is to present a uniform face which is conducive to business so it is generally counter productive to individualize your own style. People generally like to do business with people like them themselves as they often feel they can communicate and work well with them.

Dress For SuccessGenerally it's best to 'fit in', so take your cue from your peers and try to dress to the same standard. This helps with interpersonal communication. Or if you are ambitious and don't mind showing it, dress to the standard of the role that you aspire to.
