Business Attire Standards

Modern Guidelines for a Polished, Professional Presence

At Elle Made Well, we don’t believe in outdated dress codes—we believe in intentional presence. In today’s workplace, how your team shows up visually is an extension of your brand. Whether in person or over MS Teams, attire remains one of the first and most powerful cues of trust, readiness, and credibility.

Our Business Attire Standards consulting helps define what professional presence looks like within your firm’s culture—so employees feel confident, aligned, and empowered in how they show up each day.

What We Offer:

Custom Dress Code Clarification
We help firms define or refresh internal dress guidelines for both Business Professional and Business Casual settings—while allowing space for individual expression.

Key Topics We Cover:

  • The impact of visual image in leadership and trust

  • Defining professional dress in a hybrid workplace

  • Levels of business attire and when each is appropriate

  • Building a cohesive, functional professional wardrobe

  • Understanding fit, fabrics, color, and grooming

  • How to maintain authenticity while aligning with the brand

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid “underdressing”

  • Reinforcing presence, polish, and executive readiness

Dressing with Intention
Clothing is more than fabric—it’s a signal. It affects how we feel, how we behave, and how others respond to us. Studies consistently show that dressing with intention can elevate confidence, decision-making, and executive presence. When employees understand the why behind what they wear, they begin to dress not just for the job they have, but for the direction they’re heading.

We bridge the gap between comfort and polish, helping teams move beyond guesswork into clarity. This isn’t about controlling self-expression—it’s about elevating it through thoughtful, professional alignment.

Strategic Benefits—for Individuals and the Brand
A strong visual presence supports leadership development, inspires client confidence, and reinforces your firm’s identity in every interaction.

Our training sessions help:

  • Clarify what "professional" means in your firm’s context

  • Reduce clothing-related anxiety and second-guessing

  • Support rising talent in stepping into more senior roles

  • Strengthen alignment between personal brand and organizational values

  • Empower employees to feel more comfortable, competent, and client-ready

Employees leave with a new lens on how presence shapes perception—and practical steps to show up with intention, confidence, and clarity.
