PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
Corporate dressing helps an individual to dress formally according
to his/her work culture. Dressing sensibly not only helps an
individual to earn respect and appreciation but also makes him/her
a source of inspiration for others. An individual who is dressed
correctly fine.
Corporate dressing plays an essential role in shaping one’s
personality. Remember, what you wear speaks volumes about your
personality. If you wear casuals on a Monday or any other week-
day, it simply reflects your careless attitude and disrespect towards
work. It is not necessary that your dress needs to be expensive
for you to look good. You need to “feel good” about your look.
