Don’t. Please Don’t.

You’ve heard me say it before — it may not be fair, but we are judged by what we wear and how we are groomed. My favorite publication, DiversityInc.com, has hit the proverbial nail on the head with their article What Not to Wear to an Interview.
The ten things not to wear (or take) to an interview are ‘right on.’ Read the list carefully. If you take your interview seriously, take this list seriously as well.
And I’d argue that what we wear to work could be improved by following this advice. My particular favorites for the workplace are:

• Short skirts / tight suit
• Evening- or casual- wear
• Fancy nails
• Excessive make-up
• Heavy cologne or perfume

Anything to add?
