  3. Grooming • Hair: • Clean, neatly trimmed, well groomed • Doesn’t need to be a fashion statement • Fingernails: clean and trimmed • Perfume/cologne: wear minimal to none

  4. Accessories • Jewelry: keep to a minimum; no flashy jewelry • No more than one pair or earrings • No more than two finger rings • One watch or bracelet to avoid looking over-dressed • Wear stockings that match the suit you are wearing • Absolutely no visible piercing for men

  5. Dress Shirts • Long sleeved dress shirts make a better impression than short sleeved • Conservative colors • Solid white or light blue work best • No flashy colors

  6. Ties • Silk ties project the best look • Conservative patterns • Stripes, solid • The color of the tie needs to complement the color of the shirt

  7. Shoes and Belts • Dress shoes should be worn for all business occasions • Shoes need to match the color of your pants • Cordovan shoes match with all khakis • Belt needs to match the color of the shoes • Medium quality belt, but it needs to look nice
