I’ve switched sectors recently, moving from a very casual dress code policy to “smart casual/business casual” (in consulting now). I’ve seen people wear all kinds of things at work so I’m not sure if I’ve been dressing on the more business side or casual side. All of my client calls are online so I don’t need to dress too formal but I do want to look professional (not jeans and t-shirts). Anyone else in the same boat? Where are you getting your workwear inspiration?

Capsule wardrobes work best— buy a few trousers in black, navy, tan and mix and match with blouses / collared shirts. Lately I’ve been wearing golf polos and trousers (specifically Lululemon Daydrift Trousers). Very comfortable and good for the summer heat. Add a necklace and earrings and you can look pretty polished for zoom calls but feel comfortable.

I say to dress how you wanna be identified. It’s a noble career and even tho most servicing is over the phone.

It’s important to dress your utmost best because you feel better and deliver confidently.

We never go to a restaurant and expect the place filled up with clutter or look unkept even tho they might be catering to few clients.

No Excuse.

If your presence is only online, maybe wear any decent shirt (I like black because nobody can tell on camera if it’s a comfy T or a blouse) and add a blazer. Try to dress as formal as your supervisors if that’s where you want to be someday. Just make sure to be well groomed whatever that means for you. Add some jewelry & a nice professional background to polish things up.

When in consulting, my rule of thumb (even in virtual meetings) is to dress one step more formally than my clients. So if my clients were business casual (jeans on Fridays, button downs / khakis for men and dress pants or khakis and a blouse for women), I’d dress a bit more formally (blazer or sweater blazer and dress or blouse).

How do you as the attorney balance your advice with your client’s wishes? Meaning when what the client wants is not, in your opinion, in their best interest, when they want to settle for less “to be done,” or pay more “to get him out of the house,” when do you stop pushing back and give in? I’ve lost at least one client before for pushing too hard to get what they were entitled to when they wanted to give in and I’m fear I’m facing something similar now.
