Are you worried about how you can look dapper at work? Read on and take tips on how you can look smart and professional at work.
1. Get rid of unwanted facial hair
The first step to looking good at work is to get rid of unwanted facial hair. A clean shaven look is the best in a professional environment. If you have a beard or moustache, keep it well trimmed so that it looks decent. You must also get rid of other unwanted hair including nose hair. An ideal way to do this at home is to buy an electronic trimmer that can suit all your needs.
2. Style your hair nicely
Regardless of whether you have short or long hair, make sure you style your hair well before you go to work. Apart from making you look handsome, a neat hairstyle will give you a professional image. Use a hair gel or other hair products that will help your hair to stay in place. Scruffy or unkempt hair can have a very bad effect on your image in a professional environment.
3. Wear smart and trendy formal wear
You can mismatch clothes when it comes to going out with friends or any other casual outing, but you need to be conservative when it comes to work wear. Plan your work attire in advance to pick out smart and trendy formals. Avoid pairing an unusual colored shirt with formal pants and vice-versa. Be smart, but don’t experiment with fashion while choosing clothes for work.
4. Wear fresh and ironed clothes
Make sure that you have a fresh and nicely ironed pair of formal clothes every morning. Don’t even think about wearing a slightly crumpled shirt or trousers with a few creases on it just because you are too lazy and tired to iron it yourself. Formal attire looks good and professional only when it is neatly ironed.
5. Keep a lip balm or cream in your work desk
Who said that only women get chapped lips? Even guys have chapped lips, especially during winter. Keep a small lip balm in your office desk so you don’t have dry and nasty looking lips. This will help you to look good especially when you have a one-on-one meeting or you need to make a presentation.
