Prints

Prints are a good way to define yourself as approachable. They show personality and creativity, a combination that translates you are easy to talk to and can be engaged. Pair with solids and keep accessories neutral.

COLOR

You can go the easy route with an all black, black and white, or gray look or you can wear color to show you have initiative and can put the work required to achieve your goals. Color highlights personality, spontaneity, and elegance. Pair with solids and keep accessories neutral.
