Discuss with you partner: What should we do when we arrange a meeting？

And the sad truth is that "clothing mismatches" on the job can ruin the day of the person who is

wearing the inappropriateattire(着装)-and the people with whom he or she works.

Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for

office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to

remember that no matter what your company's attitude is, you are working in a business

environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening

wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than

for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A

senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will

be judged by your appearance.

This is never more apparent than on "dress-down days", when what you wear can say more

about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you

wear on dress-down days than on "business professional " days. Thus, when dressing in "business

casual" clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the "real" definition

of business casual is to dress just onenotch(等级) down from what you would normally wear on

business-professional attire days.

Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one

way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going

and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the

beach, or the office？ Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make

the man-and the woman. When you're in doubt, it's safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more

traditionally than the situation demands.
