Mirroring Your Boss' Style

To mirror or not to mirror, that is often the question when it comes to dressing like your boss.

It's sometimes a tough call, one thing is for sure; fit, flattering, and focus on being yourself, must be top of the list, but definitely dressing within a culture is a very important aspect of bonding. Want to go deeper into the sartorial question? Read this Wall Street Journal blog (which I am quoted in) from some of the top experts in personal and professional development.
