[QUOTE="Rafi Singer, post: 83049, member: 711"] Re: Dumb (but important) question about dress sense I would ask your employer for clarification. "Sharp" can span a pretty wide continuum. My work wear usually looks like the following, going from most casual to most formal: Black cotton t-shirt (white if out in the sun and black isn't being mandated) and EMT pants/shorts -> Black polo/golf shirt and EMT pants -> Dress pants, shoes, and button down shirt. ->Full suit. Shoes are ALWAYS closed-toed. I enjoy EMT/uniform pants, as they are designed to both look presentable, as well as to take a good amount of wear and tear. Usually if something starts to look worn or faded, it gets bumped down to "most casual" status. I sometimes will start the day with one set and upgrade to another for showtime, depending on the gig. To help combat the heat, a trick I've seen one of my friends do during hot weather is to soak a bandana in cold water and then tie it around her neck. Ultimately, I find it helpful to think of what one wears to work as a uniform. It's clothing that is both functional, but also conveys "I'm here to work." YMMV. [/QUOTE]
