In a recent survey by OfficeTeam, a staffing agency operated by Robert Half, findings suggest that managers and professionals believe that clothing choices influence someone’s chance of rising the ranks.
The majority of professionals (86 percent) and managers (80 percent) surveyed said clothing choices affect someone’s chances of being promoted. The study also found that workers put thought into their fashion decisions: They spend an average of 11 minutes a day selecting an outfit for the office.
