Trends at the Office

Most of my counterparts at work now are men who wear pretty basic workwear. Slacks, dress shoes, a button-down, and sometimes a sweater. And the customers I'm meeting with? Well, they are in cargo shorts and a t-shirt. Or, if I'm meeting with a boss, maybe slacks and a polo/dress shirt. So when I show up for meetings in a patterned blazer with a brightly colored tank top, I stand out. I haven't figured out yet if its a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm thinking good. I'm young for my role here, and while I shouldn't necessarily shout that from the rooftops, I'm definitely going to take advantage of the fact that I can play with brights, and patterns, and trendy styles...
