Good Hygeine
One of the most basic tenets of etiquette is the practice of good grooming. Your clothing, hair and shoes should be clean and in good repair. A shower before going to the office will help avoid causing discomfort to coworkers. Avoid the use of heavy colognes in an office setting.

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.
