9 Tips to Look Professional at Work

6. Shine your shoes

You may be doing everything to look your best at work but wearing dirty shoes will make your efforts go waste. A nice pair of shiny shoes complete a man’s professional look. Buy a nice shoe care kit which has brushes and polish. Give attention to detail and give your formal shoes a thorough polish every couple of days. On other days, you can simply wipe off the dirt with a piece of cloth.

7. Don’t wear any fashion accessories that are not professional

You may have a cool looking earring or an eyebrow piercing, but that may not go well with a professional image at work. Remove any fashion accessories that don’t go with your formal image. This includes piercings, temporary body art or any other jewelry that is not fit for a professional environment.

8. Keep a small deodorant in your office desk

Body odor is an integral part of your image at work. Don’t leave anything to chance, and keep a small deodorant in your office desk drawer. This will be very handy on a hot day or on a day when you have lot of running around to do from one part of the building to another. Use it and avoid leaving a poor professional impression by carrying bad body odor.

9. Practice good hygiene

Do everything it takes to portray a hygienic image. This includes cleaning and trimming your nails, keeping your teeth clean, using a good mouthwash, taking a shower every morning, and keeping your skin fresh among other ways to portray a hygienic image and look good at work.
