Research connects excessively casual business dress with declining productivity, decreased civility in the workplace … even an increase in sexual harassment incidents.

If you’ve had enough of low-rise jeans and see-through blouses, T-shirts and flip-flops, sneakers and Mickey Mouse ties ... or if you're just venturing into Business Casual and want to be sure it never gets out of hand, First Impressions can help.

The trend toward powerful professional appearance is growing every week:

·        The percentage of the Fortune 500 with casual dress standards has dropped from over 50% to under 10% (America’s Research Group Ltd.)

·         60% of managers thought employees in more formal business attire are likely to be taken more seriously (The Ladders executive search firm)

·        Even the NBA has instituted dress guidelines for players appearing in public.

  Of course in 2007 the old model – navy suit, white shirt, red tie – isn’t the right choice for every business occasion either. First Impressions training with Nancy Nix-Rice helps your team customize a visual image that communicates the right message for your company or firm, the specific department, job title and the activities of the business day.
