# Work Wardrobe Guides This Infographic Offers Advice for Dressing for Work in Different Offices By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-04-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dressing-for-work References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/374669/Infographic-The-Five-Levels-Of-Work-Attire/) & [businessinsider](http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-dress-for-work-business-attire-2014-8) If you don't know how to go about dressing for work, this infographic will hopefully come in handy. 'The 5 Levels of Business Attire' from Business Insider helps you dress like a leader, regardless of your office environment. Given that people no longer just wear suits in any industry, your work wardrobe can be more challenging to navigate. From baseline casual to boardroom attire, the dress code levels are based on 'The Image of Leadership' by professional image consultant Sylvie di Giusto. You can always go one level higher when dressing for work, but going two or more will make you look overdressed. Going down a level should be reserved for casual Friday or a relaxed event. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Work Wardrobe:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by creating versatile and stylish workwear that is suitable for different office environments. - **Image of Leadership:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal branding industry by offering image consulting services to help professionals dress like leaders in their workplace. - **Casual Friday:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the retail industry by designing and marketing casual and relaxed work attire specifically for casual Friday. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by creating versatile and stylish workwear that is suitable for different office environments. - **Personal Branding Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal branding industry by offering image consulting services to help professionals dress like leaders in their workplace. - **Retail Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the retail industry by designing and marketing casual and relaxed work attire specifically for casual Friday. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curated Workwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petal-and-pups.md) - [Executive Workwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12th-tribe-x-corporate-natalie.md) - [Chic Corporate-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection.md) - [Weather-Based Dressing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/howmanylayersidagse.md) - [Youthful Corporate-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-corporate-edit.md) - [Versatile Fashion Inspiration Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urrban-tailor.md) - [Eco-Friendly Professional Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dana-bandi.md) - [Personalized Fashion Advice Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-stylers.md) - [Future-Facing Suit Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-neo-suit.md)
