FOR THE FUNEMPLOYED

I know that being unemployed is all the rage these days and we are now calling it "funemployed" but some of us still have to pay the bills one way or another.

While trying to decide what I should wear to my temp job interview I decided to look up what the latest office styles were. This led me to the following document entitled Dress for Success.

Highlights of the "TO DOs and DON'Ts"

Head - Neat Hairstyle - short, trim, and well-groomed hairstyles work better than long, messy ones. Wear light scented cologne.

Face - Shave! Avoid facial hair and the 5 o'clock shadow look.

Socks - Dark "dress socks" that match the slacks. Leave your gym socks at home!

Shoes - oxfords or loafers. Clean and polished please!

Suit - NO provocative and suggestive clothing. Skin-tight pants a no-no!

Notable Quotes

Add a short-sleeve collared shirt for a business casual look. No Hawaiian shirts!

Add a shirt with the season's latest color.

Best part is that you can use this wardrobe for other occasions - weddings, parties, and other social gatherings.


The best may be the photographic examples of what to wear.
