How to Dress for Success in a Casual Office

When you work in an environment that requires you to dress formally or conservatively, the challenge you're faced with every morning is inserting enough personality into your outfit to make you look a little different from everyone else. Looking put-together isn't usually an issue.

But if you work somewhere that wouldn't care if you wore flip-flops and shorts every day-well, that's a different story. How do you rock an everyday look that's polished, that's client-appropriate, and that shows you mean business-without looking overdone among your hoodie-wearing officemates?

With these simple styling tricks, it'll be easy to look sophisticated but still relaxed, so you're dressed for success in even the most casual environment.
