I work at a college and I dress to fit my environment. I am not a formal person and I tend to fall more to the casual side of dress/casual. I am appropriate - very conservative and put together and I don't push the envelope in terms of overly revealing, etc. - but, since my personality is very casual and my classroom environment is collaborative, my clothes tend to follow suit. I want to encourage my students to talk, etc., and so I don't follow the dress codes of many of their former teachers as an attempt to veer them away from their former passive learning styles. No matter how I dress, though, I am waaay older than they and I command respect by virtue of my position, my age, and the way I carry myself. Unlike many other positions, such as Steeltrap's, when I walk into the room as the instructor, I don't have to gain their respect, it's mine to lose.

I agree with the above quote, that you can dress in Ferragamo (sp?), etc., and fail to command respect. Whereas, you can dress in gap and be extremely impressive.

I am thinking I need to buy new clothes for Leadership, though. Hmmm.
Yeah, get some new stuh for Leadership. If you're on the conservative dress side, Talbots has a ton of P&G. The mid-season sale starts in late June, shortly beforehand.

I've already got some of my Leadership stuff.

Thanks for the tip, Steeltrap. I'll have to find a Talbots here in Northern California.
