Traditionally, what one wears is taken by others as an essential signal of status. The writer Mark Twain declared “clothes do not merely make the man, clothes are the man; without them he is a nobody.” Does the same hold true in 2024? Aim to dress one level up from what you would expect to be wearing if you got the job. Combined with a clean shirt and preferably a tie, you’re unlikely to feel out of place. Not too casual: If you get the vibe that casual is okay then stay on the smart side of casual.
