“Dress for the job you want, not the one you’ve got,” goes the old adage and new research has found the key for success in the workplace is to dress like your boss. For me, that would mean adopting a whole lot more sequins and pointy shoes, even our Publisher, Mia Freedman, describes her style as “Like A Rainbow Threw Up On Me.”
The study revealed 65% of managers had a “heightened awareness of staff with a similar style to them,” which is all good if you work in a fashion forward office but what if your boss is named Bob and his idea of style is a bad polyester suit bought circa 1992?
