• Ensure that the suit fits impecca-
bly and pair it with a dress shirt, a
conservative tie, and dress shoes.
Avoid flashy accessories and overly
bold patterns, as these can detract

look.
• In more relaxed environments,
business casual attire allows for a
blend of formal and informal el-
ements, such as tailored trousers
paired with a collared shirt or a
smart polo.
• However, steer clear of overly casu-
al items such as jeans, sneakers, or
t-shirts, as these can undermine the
professional aesthetic.
