What's in fashion may change some things, like the width of lapels, the cut of pants, or the colors of shirts and ties available in the stores. Basic professional attire, however, does not change with the whims of fashion.
• Snip away loose thread on your suits and pants.
• Polish shoes that needs to be polished, wash shoes that need to be washed.
• Keep fingernails short and clean.
• Clip/trim nose and ear hairs.
• Cut toenails straight across.
• Your attire should be noticed as being appropriate and well-fitting.
• A good suit should last five to ten years, depending on its quality, how hard you wear it, how well you care for it, and if it continues to fit you well.
• You can express fashion's whims in your off-the-job clothes, and if appropriate, in your accessories.
• If you must wear and earring, choose something small and subtle and not the big ones like loops where you can put a circus animal through.
• Always check limbs coming out of your suit. Your collar should stay flat under the lappet of your jacket. The cuff of your shirts should peak out of your coat sleeves when your arms hang straight down against your sides.
