6 things you should never wear on an airplane

6 things you should never wear on an airplane6 things you should never wear on an airplanePlanning your super-cute airplane outfit to kick off your vacation on a fashionable elende? Make sure to keep these no-nos in mind because there are certain things you never want to wear on an airplane.1. Super-tight SocksSave any extremely tight socks for outings on the ground. Clothing that cuts off your circulation can lead to blood clots in the air. A good way to tell if your socks are too tight for plane-wear is to see whether they leave marks on your legs. If yes, those are too tight (ow). The exception to this rule is compression socks, which are made to be extra tight to increase your circulation instead of preventing it.2. JumpsuitsOkay, friends, lets get real. Airplane bathrooms are tiny and to do your business while wearing a jumpsuit or romper, it all has to come off. Do yourself (and the rest of the bathroom line) a favor and stick to two-piece outfits.3. High heelsWere proponents o f wearing high heels to the airport for the sole reason that it saves room in your suitcase in cases of overflowing luggage. But when youre actually on the airplane, its time to switch back to some flats. Not only do your feet swell when youre in the air, but in the teeny-tiny case where there needs to be emergency action taken during your flight, you want to be steady and grounded.4. Skimpy outfitsWere less worried about you offending the grandma seated next to you than you freezing your scantily-clad butt off during your flight. It gets cold on airplanes, so even if youre heading to a warm-weather destination, make sure to bring light layers for the plane ride.5. ContactsTravel days are a great opportunity to wear your glasses. Your eyes will thank you. The pressure and dry air in the airplanes cabin dont make for a great contact-wearing experience. Plus, if youre going to nod in and out of naptime, you probably dont want your contacts in anyways. Give those peepers a break6. Stro ng perfumeBe kind to your air travel neighbors and dont wear strong scents on an airplane. Its a pressurized tube in the sky - theres really not a lot of air flow. So if youre rocking a generous spray of perfume, everyone will smell it. And besides sensitive noses, some people have fragrance allergies that could lead to breathing problems. Stick with plain ol deodorant for the flight, please.Thispostwas originally published onSwirled.comin the Thrive section, which covers valuable career and personal finance content for Millennials.

Some statistics say that people read 12 books per year on average. There are always a few people who read mora than 100 books a year. So that number is inflated.Based on our experiences, most people we know only read a book thats popular. For example, this years book welches 12 Rules For Life by Jordan Peterson. Most people read books because everybody has read this bookAnd then they might pick up one or two other books in a year. They probably wont even finish them. But lets be optimistic about people and assume most folks read 5 books a year. Over a 50-year career, thats only 250 books.But lets say youre different. You realize that reading is the single most important thing for your personal development. And you set a goal to read 2 books a week. And over your career, you fail to achieve it. Its a lofty goal, after all.But you still manage to finish 80 books a year. Thats 4,000 books Whats the difference between 4,000 and 250? Well, a sh-tload of wisdom, my friend. And like you and I both know, when you apply wisdom, your life will be better. Whats the lesson here?Read as your life depends on it. Why? Because it does. Here are the best books Ive read this year.1. Incerto by Nassim Nicholas TalebTechnically, this is a series that consists of five books. Before this year, I had never read Taleb. Several of my friends are big fans of his work. And when his latest book in the series, Skin In The Game, came out this year, I felt compelled to read it.In his latest book, he writes about how most decision makers have bedrngnishing to lose when things go wrong. Having skin in the game will change everything. After all, its easy to make a decision or give advice when you have nothing to lose.I love his katechese and style. Ta leb is someone who doesnt care what certain people think of him. And hes not afraid to make bold statements. Hes not only a good writer but the contents of his books are also excellent.After I read Skin In The Game, I decided to read all his books. That took me about a month and Im glad I did. If you havent read any of his books, check out which one appeals to you the most. You can read them in any order you want.2. Laws Of Human Nature by Robert GreeneI got into personal development because of The 48 Laws Of Power. And with his latest book, Robert Greene, shows that living a successful life is not only about power and status.How well we are at dealing with people is one of the most important predictors of career success. Since everything we do relies on others, we must get better at understanding others.And whats the best way to do that? By understanding yourself. And thats what Laws Of Human Nature helps you with. Great book for improving your self-knowledge.3. Stay Hungry by Seba stian ManiscalcoI love stand-up comedy, but I had never heard of Sebastian until recently. When I saw his Netflix comedy special and read about his story, he instantly became one of my favorite comedians.Hes not only funny, but hes also humble, down to earth, and a hard worker. For 20 years, hes been working at his craft. For the first 7 years, he also worked at the Four Seasons hotel. Now, hes selling out arenas.In Stay Hungry, he shares his life story in a funny way. So if you want to quit your career after only a year, please read Sebastians story.4. The Snowball by Alice SchroederEven though I think some parts of this book were a little bit of information overload, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Buffetts life. Contrary to what you might think, this book is not only about investing.The Snowball goes deep on different topics like Buffetts relationships with the most important people in his life, the way he views the world, and how he conducts business. Every professional can l earn from his life story. And Alice Schroeder did a great job telling it.5. The Mastery Of Love by Don Miguel RuizThis book changed my perspective on love. As the relationship between my girlfriend and I became more serious this year, we both wanted to improve this area.Subconsciously, we often keep score in our relationships. We have an internal scoreboard for everything, from how often one called/texted the other, who says I love you more, or cares more about certain things than the other.In The Mastery Of Love, Ruiz writes a lot about unconditional love. He believes that love is a never-ending resource. So you dont need to keep score if you can always give. Plus, if you already have love, you dont need anything in return. My experience is that this strategy works best if you both change your perspective.When only one person in a relationship adopts this perspective, it might work for a while, but you often fall back to your old behavior. So if you decide to read it, ask your part ner to do the same.6. 12 Rules For Life by Jordan B. PetersonAs you can tell, I read books from all types of philosophies. The last book is spiritual, and 12 Rules For Life is very practical and hard-hitting.Like almost everyone who is interested in personal development, I read Jordan Petersons popular book this year. I share many of his beliefs. And like he says, theres nothing new about taking responsibility for your life.However, it is NEW to give people tough love - which is exactly what this book does. Read it - regardless of your views. It will make you a more stable and reliable person.7. Philosophy As a Way of Life by Pierre HadotHadot was one of the best historians of philosophy in recent history. Ive been reading philosophy since I was 16 and somehow believed that writing ABOUT philosophy is not the same thing.But Hadot proves that writing about philosophy is just as, or even better, as the real thing. I read Philosophy As a Way of Life this year and it made me understan d the concepts of Socrates, Plato, Stoicism, Epicureans, and Cynicism a lot better.What I learned is that philosophers are all searching for the same thing To satisfy their thirst for knowledge. Philosophy comes from the Greek word philosophia, which translates to love of wisdom. And if you love wisdom, youll love this book.8. Elon Musk by Ashlee VanceIm not a fan of Elon Musk. People in personal development are always surprised by that. I dont know why, but I cant idolize assholes - no matter how successful they are.However, my opinion on Musk did change after reading this book. He might be a weird guy, but he also has a crazy work ethic and ability to focus like no one else on this planet.Can you learn from outliers? Sure. But this book is mostly for entertainment. I personally know no one who wants to be like Musk. I sure as hell dont. But I can still learn from the man.9. The Complete Divan of Hafez by HafezMost people are familiar with the other Persian poet, Rumi. But Hafez i s the one whos more read in his native country. I used to be a lot into poetry but stopped reading it for many years until I received this book as a gift from my girlfriend.Sometimes I open the book and read a poem or three. Hafez is spiritual and sometimes I have no clue what hes talking about. But it makes you think. And thats a good feeling.10. Seeking Wisdom by Peter BevelinThis is probably the best summary Ive read on practical and scientific thinking. Bevelin is an excellent writer and he captures the wisdom from Charlie Munger in a perfect way.The book respects the reader and doesnt show off. Its a book that I already referred to several times after reading it. And together with the Jordan Peterson and Pierre Hadot books, I plan to re-read these books going forward.Just like the title of Bevelins book, to me, life is about seeking wisdom. Its the only pursuit that we can perform as long as our brain works. You can get physically impaired, lose your money, friends, status, but you can never lose your thirst for knowledge.In fact, writing this article made me thirsty. Its time to devour another book.This article first appeared on DariusForoux.com

If you want to become an influential thought leader, live by these 3 principles

If you want to become an influential thought leader, live by behauptung 3 principlesIf you want to become an influential thought leader, live by these 3 principlesI live my life by a few very basic principlesIf you only focus on how much you can give, you never have to worry about who takes and doesnt give back.There is no sense in debating the strategy of something unless the ship is already moving (You cant steer a stationary ship).You arebothwhat you say you are and what you do on a daily basis.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreIn short I care far more about the process than I do the destination. Because Ive learned there is no destination to begin with unless a process is inmotion.When it comes to marketing and messaging, these basic principles dont adjustmuchIf you only focus on how much you can give, the less youll have to sell.There is no sense in debating the strategy of s omething unless the ship is already moving (You cant steer a stationary ship).You arebothwhat you say you are and what you do on a daily basis.Ive built a career for myself explaining these principles to otherpeopleWhen I first departureed writing onQuorawhen I welches 22 years old, fresh out of college, my only intention was to write things people wanted to read.My dream was to become a successful author.In the process, I learned the art of writing things people want to read is actually an extremely valuable and versatile skill set. Its the reason why, at 27 years old, Ive found myself with a seat at the table. I am constantly the youngest person in the room. I am never (not by alargemargin) the wealthiest person at the dinner. I spend more time talking to people whose net worths are north of $50 million than I do my own 20-something peers thats just the nature of working exclusively with C-suite executives and successful serial entrepreneurs.Principle 1 for me is to give 100x more than I ask inreturnThis has stabbed me in the back a number of times.Ive had people steal my work stimmt genau-for-word and put their name on it. Ive had people offer mutually-beneficial partnerships where they extracted as much value as possible without giving anything in return. Ive had people ask for my help with a handshake and a promise that theyd return the favor and then went MIA. Ive had people sign contracts with me, only to pretend like they never existed.But those wounds pale in comparison to the opportunities Ive gained as a result. By giving, and giving, and giving, for everytwoof those unfortunate circumstances there aretwo hundredother positive results.Someone stole my work. Sucks.Lots and lots and lots of other people saw my work, loved it, and paid me handsomely to do the same for them.Someone didnt return the favor. Sucks.This morning I woke up to 5 inbound consulting emails, 2 referral emails, and a new client.If you want to become a thought leader in your indust ry, this is just part of the game. Its the people who spend (waste) more time counting their losses and chasing down old promises that lose sight of the next they need to take. And its the people who are so afraid to give, that probably dont have much worthwhile to give in the first place.Principle 2, You cant steer a stationary shipThe worst mistake a writer can make is to sit there brainstorming, tapping his or her pen on the desk, refusing to put down the first word.Because any good writer knows the moment that first word comes out, oh well then the second one goes there, and the third one comes next, and well what if we changed the second word so then we could use this fourth word and so on, and so forth.Thats because nobody brainstorms a novel. Just like nobody brainstorms a great product or service or company. Building anything requires doing, and then reflecting. Doing, then reflecting.As a mentor of mine used to say, Brainstorming is like mental masturbation. It feels good, but does it really get you anywhere?The vast majority of advertising and public relations firms like to position themselves as strategy experts. Everybody loves being the strategist. Its way more fun to sit at a table and brainstorm really great ideas, show up, wave your hands around and paint verbal pictures of a betterfuture, and then close out the presentation with, Now you just have to find someone to execute it.I find that entire charade to be an incredible waste of time.You know at the end ofThe Big Shortwhen Mark Baum asks, How much bigger is the market for ensuring mortgage bonds than actual mortgages?Thats pretty much advertising in a nutshell. People would much rather direct traffic than drive themselves (lots of wordplay in that sentence).Whenever a client asks me, Whats our strategy? my response is, Start with a few broad topics, and go from there.Some people dont trust this process. I honestly dont know any other way.Going back to 22-year-old Cole writing on Quora, I di dnt sit down that first day and said, Heres how this is all going to play out.Not even close.I sat down. Wrote my first Answer. Scrunched my face because it wasnt my favorite. Forced me to hit Publish anyway. Went to sleep unsure of what I had written. And then woke up the next day and did it all over again.900+ Quora Answers,400+ Inc Magazine columns,a book, and hundreds of guest blogs later, and Im the 27-year-old they bring in when they want their companys message not to get lost in the noise. And the reason people trust me when I say, The strategy is to start and adjust from there, is because I writeevery single day. My body of work online is a testament to my unique approach.Which is why I tell people all the time, if they want to become an influential voice in their industry, you cant just sit there and think youre going to have it all figured out before you start. At best, pinpoint a 30,000-foot goal, work backward to come up with some general concepts, and then begin.Princip le 3 You are both what you say you are and what you do on a dailybasisOver the past 5 years, I have turned well over 100 people into industry thought leaders.These are people who came to me everyone from peers and friends, up to C-level executives and wanted to know, How do I build a personal brand, similar to what youve built for yourself?Going back to Principle 1 here, Im going to give you the same Answer I tell anyone and everyone.Its a pretty simpleprocessWhat do you know? What are you an expert in?How do you know what you know? What taught you? Who taught you? What was a moment in time where you learned that lesson?Say those two things, over and over again.The people who really listen when I share this advice with them have gone on to see the exact sameresults.They started writing regularly on Quora and/or Medium.They changed their bio to say,This is who I am and this is exactly what I do.They started writing from a place of experience, sharing both what they know andhowthey le arned it.Ive watched and helped people take this advice, put it into practice, and rack up millions of views on their content. Ive watched them get republished by major publications. Ive watched them become advisors on massively successful projects. Ive watched them make huge leaps in their careers, all because they claimed their land and trusted the process.I have more emails than I can count from people who have read something Ive written, applied it to their own messaging, and seen its impact.Now, heres what happened to the people who failed tolistenFor every one of these success stories is a whole handful of people that want the shortcut.They want their first article to go viral (it wont).They want every article to include the phrase,and thats why we created our amazing patent-pending product that is revolutionizing this billion dollar industry.(nobody cares that statement doesnt add value to the reader)They want to know how they can get more press (if you trust the process this happens on its own).They dont want to share anything personal but they want to stand out(thats like saying you want people to see your light but dont want it to be dark outside).They want all the big, shiny results, but only want to put out a few pieces of content (even Richard Branson and Elon Musk have to stay active on social media to stay relevant).This is precisely why I sayYou are both what you say you are and what you do on a daily basis.Imitation thought leaders are really great at the first part of that sentenceThey pay a PR firm to make sure columnists are saying incredible things about them (Enter CEO Name, who has been amazing for over 20 years.)Their website is covered in self-promotional copy devoid of any substance as tohowthey actually do what they doWe build meaningful partnerships between like-minded consumers and synergistic partners.(Whatever that means)They pump out content rigorously sculpted by an internal communications team that doesabsolutely nothingfor a reader except push the companys agenda.But real thought leaders know their priority should always be on the second part of Principle 3- and what you do on a daily basis.You cant expect a press piece to move the needle very much if the columnist is talking about what a powerful voice you are in your industry, only for a reader toGoogleyour name and find a bunch of empty social profiles or worse, nothing at all.You cant expect people to be loyal to you and your words if you arent loyal to them and their desire to learn something from you on a regular basis.You cant expect an ad to make someone sit back in their chair and say to themselves, Wow, I really agree with that. I need to reach out to them. I need to work with this person.I dont run ads. I dont have a PR firm.And yet, the exact type of person I want to work with shows up in my inbox on a daily, or at least weekly basis. How they found themselves writing me an email wasnt because I tricked them into a funnel, or I had someone else talk about how great I am. They reached out to me because of pieces like this, where I shared 1) what I know, and 2) how I learned it and the message resonated with them.Ive been shouting these things from the rooftops since Day1If you only focus on how much you can give, you never have to worry about who takes and doesnt give back.There is no sense in debating the strategy of something unless the ship is already moving (You cant steer a stationary ship).You arebothwhat you say you are and what you do on a daily basis.Becoming a thought leader, working with the people you truly want to work with, attracting an audience, attracting the right kind of attention, even building a business around yourself isnt rocket science.Its just, in order to do it well, you have to be willing to do 3 things most human beings struggle to do in their everyday livesFocus on giving more than worrying about who is going to take and not give back.Trust the process and get to work before you fully unde rstand the destination.Do it on a regular (daily) basis.Thats it.This article first appeared on Medium.

E-Fest Program Kicks Off with Asia Pacific Event

E-Fest Program Kicks Off with Asia Pacific Event E-Fest Program Kicks Off with Asia Pacific Event ASME Launches E-Fest Program with Asia Pacific Event in IndiaMarch 10, 2017 (Left to right) Dr. S.S.

(Photos courtesy of Bhavesh Kumar)Upwards of 800 student engineers from across India gathered in the northern city of Jaipur to compete, to learn from accomplished professionals, to network with both peers and industry representatives, and to party at ASMEs inaugural E-Fest held March 3-5. Ive made new friends, Ive learned about different cultures, and weve been exposed to ideas about the latest trends in engineering, said Jerin Benedict, who traveled 2,900 kilometers (more than 1,800 miles) to get to E-Fest Asia Pacific from the Bethlahem Institute of Engineering in Tamil Nadu. It took 36 hours by train and 12 hours by bus to get here. Prof. Manoj Kumar (right), head of the department of mechanical engineering at LNM Institute of Information Technology, welcomes ASME Executive Director Thomas Loughlin to E-Fest Asia Pacific.Energy was high throughout the three-day event in Jaipur, a popular tourist destination in the northwestern state of Rajistan. Its absolutely fantastic to be here in India for E-Fest, said ASME Executive Director Thomas Loughlin Theres passion, energy, creativity and pride that you see in every student here. It comes with the festival atmosphere. You see it in the competitions. Every team wants the other team to succeed. So theres a great sense of cheer, and its contagious.E-Fest Asia Pacific featured four competitions, presentations by leaders in business and industry, networking opportunities with bot h peers and working engineers, plus fireworks and live music. A famous Indian pop band, Euphoria, had no difficulty prompting students to party like an engineer during an outdoor Saturday night concert that lasted past midnight. The student team from Delhi Technological University was the overall winner at the Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) regional competition at E-Fest Asia Pacific in India. The team also placed first in the competitions design, womens speed and mens speed categories.E-Fest Asia Pacific was held at the LNM Institute of Information Technologys sprawling 100-acre campus. This has been an exhilarating and thrilling experience for my Institute, said prof S.S. Gokhale, the Institutes director. I believe this has been a big success. A lot of students participated and the enthusiasm they showed in all of the events, whether it is the Student Design Competition, whether it is the Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC), whether it is a poster presentation. Right f rom the beginning to the end, they have had a tremendous amount of enthusiasm.... This has been a phenomenal success. Volunteering at E-Fest has been a good experience for me, remarkable for me, said Krati Maheshwari, one of 200 student volunteers helping to host the festival. Ive enjoyed this so much, she continued. Interacting with different people from different colleges from different parts of India.... It has been a proud moment for LNMIIT. Ive enjoyed the perks too. The t-shirt, and the food, which is so delicious. The concert was good, too. Euphoria, the band, was very rocking. We danced, and partied until 1230. It was a very remarkable, amazing night. The student teams had to navigate through obstacles during the endurance event at the HPVC regional competition at E-Fest Asia Pacific. The team from B.H. Gardi College of Engineering and Technology were the winners of that event.The Human Powered Vehicle Competition spanned all three days of the festival, with a drag-race sty le speed test and a 2 hour endurance test. The Student Design Competition set four challenges for small robots, including a lift test, a tanzveranstaltung toss and a difficult stair climb. The ASME Old Guard Competition featured both posters and oral presentations. The Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D (IAM3D) Challenge provided students with an opportunity to demonstrate their design skills for 3D printing.A special guest at the keynote address was B.V.R. Mohan Reddy, a prominent mechanical engineer and business leader whose company provides design engineering services to global companies. Other speakers included Dr. Anil Kakodkar, an advocate of clean energy who is former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of India. Talks also featured experts in advanced manufacturing, innovation and entrepreneurship, and leadership skills. Students prepare their entry for the ASME Student Design Competition, one of the regional ASME student competitions that took place at E-Fest Asia Pacific.In addition, ASME hosted an opportunity for students to meet informally with early- and mid-career engineers at E-Fest, which combined the best of both digital and in-rolle networking, according to Dr. Gokhale. While social media was used to mobilize resources and promote the event, he said the festival went an important step further.Facebook is perfectly alright, Gokhale said. But there is no replacement for person-to-person contact. Meeting somebody, rubbing shoulders has a completely different dimension... There is a definite advantage to meeting face-to-face. You meet somebody, you smile ... you understand the gist of what a person is feeling. And that is the advantage of old fashioned person-to-person communication. I value it. I cherish it. The Indian pop group Euphoria were the featured musical act at the Music Fest, one of the highlights of E-Fest Asia Pacific. E-Fest Asia Pacific was the first in a series of 2017 E-Fests E-Fest West will take place from March 17 to 19 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and E-Fest East will run from April 21 to 23 at Tennessee Tech University in Cookville.Helping close the ceremony and presenting awards at E-Fest Asia Pacific were ASMEs Paul Scott, interim executive director, ASME Foundation, and ASME Past President Madiha El Mehelmy Kotb. It is exciting to see so much potential in your talents, in your teamwork and your successes, Kotb told an appreciative audience. It is inspiring to feel the energy in a room of engineers like you.-Roger Torda, ASME Public Information

Why You Should Dress For Success in a Smart Casual Office Environment

Why You Should Dress For Success in a Smart Casual Office Environment Can Dressing For Success Actually Lead To Success? Tips For A Smart Casual OfficePosted May 31, 2016, by Zahra Campbell-Avenell What you wear at work can have an impact on your performance. Hard to believe, right? Think about it surely what youre wearing cant actually improve your workor can it? In an era when even CEOs are no longer shackled to conservative dark suits (think Steve Jobs turtleneck and sneakers, Mark Zuckerbergs hoodie and Richard Bransons leather jacket), why should any of us bother dressing up for work? In an ideal world, we would be judged on our merits, and our outfits would make no difference to peoples perception or our ability to succeed in the workplace. As it turns out, this is far from the truth An increasing body of research on enclothed cognition suggests that donning a blazer or a suit can have a marked impact on our productivity, our sense of self and even our ability to negotiate. A 2015 study in Social Psychological and Personality Science demonstrated that wearing formal clothing increased abstract, big-picture thinking in cognitive tests. Perhaps this is not surprising given that people feel most authoritative, competent and trustworthy when wearing formal or geschftliches miteinander casual attire. The Journal of Experimental Psychology published a study in 2014 with similar findings that wearinginformal clothing can hamper your chances of a successful negotiation. But thats not all. Researchers at Northwestern University found that wearing an item of clothing with symbolic association measurably improves performance in the skill it is associated with. The study demonstrated that since a doctors lab coat welches associated with attentiveness, participants performed better when wearing a doctors coat in attention-related tasks. When told that the same piece of clothing was a painters coat, participants completed the task with less success. Using the s ame logic, if youre like most people, you would exude power and authority when wearing a suit because thats what you subconsciously associate a suit with. Mind. Blown. And of course its no surprise that peoples opinions of you depend on what youre wearing. Research has shown that women in traditionally masculine attire are mora likely to get hired teachers perceived credibility is impacted by their clothing and people make assumptions about your socioeconomic status based on the brand youre wearing. So your clothing choices dont go unnoticed by people around you, if only on a subliminal level. But wait You say. I work in a business casual environment, so I cant exactly wear a suit every day Given the career-boosting powers of the clothes on your back, Id say its never a good idea to let your work wardrobe and your weekend wardrobe merge into one. While companies are increasingly moving towards a more casual dress code (or the elusive business casual) it cant hurt to ramp up y our style game at work just a tad. Weve written about how to dress for success at work before, but if you work in a more casual arbeitszimmer schauplatz, here are some tips on how to look polished but not overdressed Tip 1 If in doubt, add a blazer Guys and gals, a blazer is your secret weapon. Ask yourself Would you wear it to the shops? If the answer is yes, you probably shouldnt be wearing it to work unless you top it with a blazer. This often-overlooked piece of clothing can take your jeans or sundress from slovenly to smart in an instant. Find one in a dark colour that fits you like a glove, and keep it at your desk for instant office cred. And since most offices tend to overdo the air conditioning, itll keep you warm while lending you an air of authority and increasing your performance to boot. Tip 2 No athletic wear ever. You might be one of those lucky people who work at a startup where the CEO wears shorts and sneakers. If you are said CEO, you can wear what you want (unl ess youre in a negotiation setting see above), but until then, the rest of us have to follow some basic sartorial rules. If your workplace is truly casual, and you notice people in higher positions wearing sneakers, then (and only then) can you wear sneakers to work. Even so, make sure that theyre non-athletic sneakers (i.e. you wouldnt wear them to run in) and preferably in a darker colour like grey, brown or black. Tip 3 Ill take one of each A good rule of thumb is to pair one dressy item of clothing with another more casual piece. For instance, a pair of jeans worn with a collared shirt elevates the jeans from something you would wear to the footy to more work-appropriate attire. Similarly, a t-shirt worn with a pencil skirt can make the skirt look a little less formal. Mixing up casual and formal pieces allows you to be comfortable while leise looking, feeling and being more competent at work. Tip 4 Jeans in a dark wash If your dress code allows jeans, youre in luck Darker je ans such as black and indigo are more sophisticated than a lighter wash, but are still relaxed enough to fit into a business casual setting. Bonus darker jeans are more flattering Tip 5 Future mother-in-law check Even if your workplace is on the extreme end of casual, anything thats too revealing or torn (even deliberately) is a definite no-no. If you wouldnt wear it to meet your potential in-laws, you shouldnt wear it to work. Its important to feel confident in your clothes, and its hard to do that in ripped jeans, short shorts or track pants. So go on, step up your business casual look a notch. Youll look better, feel better and work better. Its clear that clothes can have a profound impact both on how we are perceived and how we behave. What are your thoughts?
