What is the best way to make a good impression at the office?

Office Dress For Success

Often, when first employed, we are on a budget. A good way to maximise your dollar power, and still dress for success, is to choose fabrics wisely. Buy pure cotton, linen or wools for the office. These natural fibers are timeless and make a statement about your commitment to presenting a polished appearance. Buy one very good pair of leather shoes to start, adding more as you can.
